REVIEW: iFM for PSP (FM Audio Transmitter)
Besides being a radio, the iFM doubles as a remote and is a worthwhile accessory that works well.

may not have killed the radio star after all. At least as far as iFM is
concerned. This awesome accessory for the PSP gives your handheld
system a lot more bang for the buck by letting you listen to your
favorite FM radio stations wherever you are.
The iFM is gonna
be your new best friend if you love music, but don't have a mega huge
memory card with lots of MBs for storing your MP3 and Sony Connect
downloads. iFM plugs directly into the PSPs headset connector and is
powered by the system itself. A clip let's you clip the iFM to your
clothes for easy access. A small digital display and simple buttons
allows you to cycle through stations fairly easily. The button layout
is similar to that of a remote which, the iFM also double as for you
PSP.
In radio mode, the fast forward and rewind buttons step
through the FM tuning bands while holding down the buttons scans
through the stations. It doesn't get much more simple than that.
Holding down the center play/pause button on the iFM switches between
the tuning ranges for U.S., European and Japanese radio stations. But
don't think that this thing is some sort of short wave world band
radio. You can only hear stations that are local to you and you can
only hear them through headphones (not included), but you will hear
them pretty well. The iFM goes into sleep mode when the PSP does and
your station will be locked in until the PSP returns to it's normal
state.
