This weeks review we look at MP3 FM transmitters. Apple is rumored to have an FM Transmitter in the newest version of iPhone. We talk about the likeliness of that, while also talk about some great alternatives.

This week’s review is for the CastGrabber – an internet appliance that takes valid RSS feeds and uploads podcasts to your MP3 player. This video shows you a little about how the CastGrabber works. I also talk about the good and the bad – well, more of a wishlist to this Standalone Podcast downloader.

One great feature of the CastGrabber is the fact you can connect most any type of MP3 player and get your podcasts. I connected an iPod, then a couple different generic MP3 players. Even my 64 Meg Creative MP3 player from 2002 worked like a champ!

Price tag may be a bit much and I wished it had not only wireless, but some other items I talk about in the video. Nonetheless, it’s a great “Set it and forget it” type of item.

Here is the video review for the Cast Grabber.

When we were in Vegas at CES, we ran into a company called the Web Around. They specialized in a Nylon disc you can place on the back of your chair. The idea is if you have to do a web cast or video call, you can place this item behind you so the other party cannot see what is in the background. On the same token, the background can’t do anything, either.

The Web Around is $29.95 and comes in 3 colors, it’s Nylon based and can have a logo printed on it. It’s easy to set up and put away – that is, unless you are trying to do it on the video, then you have to fumble with it. Best part is you might just want to get it for an extra privacy filter for work. If your WebAround is up, you are working.
