We all know that the iPhone phenomenon hasn't had the last word yet – actually, it is probably not even half way there yet. Although many have been “protesting” for some time that the over-advertising of this device has gone beyond any imaginable limit, Apple has no plans of stopping from improving its “star.”

To get to the point, yesterday, Griffin Technology announced the availability of the RoadTrip with SmartScan for the iPhone. This translates into easy file transfers (music files, in general) between the iPhone, or even the iPod, and your car's stereo FM system or other such receiving devices. This transfer is done wirelessly and all you must do is to plug the RoadTrip into a 12-volt accessory socket or even your car's cigarette lighter in order to keep the iPhone or iPod charged while you are using this technology.

The RoadTrip operates by independently searching for the clearest three frequencies, and programs them to preset buttons, while the built-in RDS displays track information for RDS-supported car radio displays. Other interesting and safety-focused features of this technology are, for example, that it places the control buttons in reach for a safe driving experience, while the Line Out characteristics make it very easy to connect your iPod to the car's audio or even video system.

This technology is a reliable one and, most importantly, it offers you the advantages of a professional installation, ready as soon as you connect the two devices, wirelessly of course, thus sparing you unwanted expenses or trips to licensed installers. The Smart Scan RoadTrip is compatible with the iPhone, both 3G version and older generation, the iPod touch 2G or regular one, the iPod nano 4G, 3G and 2G version, and the classic iPod.

In a nutshell, it gives most Apple users the possibility of enjoying this new wireless technology – and all at the not too eccentric price of $99.99.
