New TransPod All-In-One Makes iPods Happy

By

Digital Life Outfitters, a maker of accessories for digital music players, last week announced they’d redesigned their popular all-in-one car solution for the iPod known as the TransPod. Priced at $99.99, it is available now.

The new TransPod, which works with most 3rd and 4th generation iPods including the nano and mini, broadcasts the iPod’s music to any FM radio frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 while simultaneously charging and cradling the iPod in the car. Instead of a separate transmitter, charger and cup holder cradle, the DLO TransPod combines all of these features into one design which plugs into a cigarette lighter.

Other features of the TransPod include three different exterior colors, a controllable backlit display, programmable preset stations, audio input to transmit audio of other devices through a FM station, auxiliary output to connect directly to a car’s auxiliary audio inputs and fit pads to accommodate various iPod sizes.

“The DLO TransPod is one of the most important iPod accessories in the world. Since DLO invented the TransPod three years ago, millions of people have been able to enjoy their iPod’s music in their cars, trucks, vans, even boats,” said Andrew Green, VP of Marketing for DLO. “The re-designed TransPod takes the best sounding iPod Transmitter and makes it the best looking iPod car solution too. With dozens of new features and improvements, the DLO TransPod distances itself even further from its competition – if it’s even fair to call them that.”

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation
Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
