Pros
- Charge one device while playing another
- Pretty good price
- Standard 1/8" headphone plug means it can work with any portable player - not just iPhone/iPod
- Powered by 12-volt accessory outlet
- Includes USB charging
- Decent Audio quality
- Clean design
- Smart scan button to quickly find available channel
- Mono mode for greater signal
Cons
- Charges iPod very slowly - WAY slower than an outlet
- Smart scan isn't aggressiveness enough in finding a noise free channel
- USB cover can be annoying to remove to charge your device
- Can't access coveted 87.9 MHz frequency - discontinued, non "plus" model had an international workaround
- Can only be used in your car because of 12-volt power limitation
- Can't control your iPod - look at iPod/iPhone custom itrips for that ability
