I have long been a fan of my iPod. I go back to the second generation of iPods. Recently I was pondering an upgrade to the iPod I have (as the buttons don't always like to work anymore and the scroll wheel is perhaps becoming better thought of as the jump wheel) ... and I was looking into the new ones.

Well one of the reasons I have so love my iPod has been the Belkin accessory called the iTrip which allows me to play music in my car. I spend far too much time on the highway and this accessory has changed my driving life for certain.

Here's the rub: my iTrip will not work with the new generation of iPods and so I am forced to buy another adapter if I upgrade my pod.

Here's the question: I am considering the adapter by Griffin for the PSP that does the same thing. If I get this maybe I can avoid another 400 dollar purchase and have some funds left over for other upgrades to my PSP (and maybe game or 3) as well. Anyone have a take on this? Ever used it?

The only issue you need to decide on is if you can live with the limited room to store music on the PSP with a 2 or 4gb ms you can hold a good bit but no where near what a ipod can hold. To me I would choose the PSP cheaper an you would have it available to play games an movies. but as you said...

My car has a port for an mp3 player, can I get a kit to plug my PSP into that?

You know, you can play the PSP while you drive as well. Very Happy

Just learn to drive with your knees. RPG's tend to work a lot better than first person shooters, fyi.

Which incidentally reminds me of a Bus Driver that was fired from his job due to him playing GTA on his PSP, at stops as well as while driving Shocked

Somehow I wouldn't want to hear a bus driver say "I just ran over someone, take that!"

LOL - ok I did it - I bit the 400 dollar bullet and bought my PSP but decided that I will still get my iPod - took my son to Best Buy and could no longer resist the call. Got the bundle package and then got GTA and Katameri. We have a 30 dollar gift card so I am looking for suggestions on accessories.
