iBiz Pocket Radio

Here's a cool device for Pocket PCs:

I'd buy it, but I wouldn't have a way to get its software onto my pocket pcs...plus I can only imagine how much additional strain it'd put on the battery. Would be fun though.

Not a new device to us here -

My rendering of this eBay listing shows under "Sponsored Links" another one listed by Sears Marketplace for about 75 USD. I laughed when I saw that since it originally retailed for 50 USD.

Too bad iBIZ never came out with an SD version for CE devices, since a lot of newer CE devices don't have CF slots. (iBIZ did make an SD version, but it was only for Palm OS devices.)

I recently purchased a set of headphones for my wife so she could listen to the local FM radio stations while she walked outdoors. Everything is built into the headphones, runs forever on a pair of AAA batteries and the total price was $7 at Big Lots.

The iBiz radio was a novel concept to minimize the number of devices you had to carry...but I agree with Chuck E...it probably devoured your battery while using it.

I wonder if it would work using my CF to SD card adapter? They did make an SD radio for the Palm...hmmm, wonder if that could work with the CE software with some minor hacking...

Go, Rich, go!

There are now tiny FM radio receivers (like the two Cowon ones I picked up cheap on eBay some time ago) that make this device more obsolete than CE.
