This is sweet. For about $25 from Costco, my dad got me a 4-in-1 wireless power inverter with built-in transmitter for my car that plugs into the vehicle outlet. And, it's all in a small compact device that can fit in your hand, with no cords to tangle.

Features -

110 standard outlet
vehicle outlet (to free up the outlet it's using)
standard audio input with FM transmitter
USB port for charging iPods while transmitting, etc.Y'all gotta get one of these. :D They're not available online though - only at the stores. Finally, I can plug in my iPod and cellphone charger at the same time! :snap:

What's wireless about it? You plug it in, things plug into it.

I think the "wireless" refers to the FM transmitter. So if you want to play something from your iPod through your car stereo but don't have a cassette adapter or "audio in" on the face of your stereo, you can wirelessly transmit the signal.

Maybe that refers to the FM transmitter portion.

there's a line-in jack, whatever is on line-in (iPod, etc) gets transmitted at low power on a hopefully unused frequency that your stereo can pick up.

No, I think it's the FM transmitter that's wireless.

The FM transmitter, wireless or not, it the least intriguing thing about this device to me, Having a USB charger is cool as is an outlet. Being able to charge my bluetooth, my phone AND my iPod at the same time is sweet (I use a cassette to play my iPod through the car stereo). Now, who wants to take me to Cosco?

I'd go for the FM transmitter thingy - but only if it's wireless
