Griffin Technology Inc., creator of all things iPhone and iPod, today announced the availability of its Navigate inline controller and iFM app for iPhone and iPod touch. Navigate delivers FM stereo radio and offers a remote control for any recent-generation iPod or iPhone model. The iFM app can be used as a companion to any FM radio to display song titles, program information, etc.
Griffin's Navigate and iFM App work wonderfully as standalone products, but when paired together, iPhone and iPod touch enthusiasts have an unparalleled FM radio experience. The iFM app works as a touchscreen interface for Navigate's FM radio tuner and displays detailed song information.
The iFM app for iPhone and iPod touch brings together radio programming and Internet-accessible metadata to provide a comprehensive media stream. The application identifies a listener's geographic location to deliver a tuning menu with local radio stations, or the user may select their city from a list - finding available stations while traveling has never been easier. Listeners will even be able to bookmark songs for purchase on the iTunes Music Store
As a standalone accessory, Navigate - with its built-in FM tuner - works with both iPod and iPhone to deliver Play, Stop, Pause, Forward, Backward and Scan controls, as well as access to album and artist listings, playlists, shuffle modes and EQ settings. It allows users to tuck their music devices out of sight while still retaining access to its controls. The integrated OLED display mirrors info from the iPhone and iPod, so viewing content such as track time and song titles is easy, even with the device placed in a pocket or backpack.
