Because Apple sell the iPod within the EU they have to abide by EU laws relating to sound output from mobile devices (the EN 50332-1 standard). Basically it consists of two parts. The first part demands that mobile equipment should be limited to 100dB(A) sound pressure using the accompanying headphones. The second part constraints the output power of the device, hence covering any combination of equipment and headphones.
ALL MP3 players, CD Players, Walkmans etc. have this so-called 'limit' so don't worry about it. Your shiny new iPod won't be any quieter than any other European bought personal MP3, CD, Cassette player...
And as noted above its easy to bypass. |

@ Booyar.
I really doubt my iPod is gonna break it's only ppl who wanna take there pods out that seem to damage them, btw I use mine around the house, My area is abit of a Pod paradise 
Also, bout you worrying bout the warranty whats gonna happen? i'll only have to worry about the battery when that goes in 12mths

I suppose it won't really matter but i think £180 is a good price with free shipping and i should have it by early aug. Other than ebay i can't see me getting one sooner. I'm patient :-D. I am due my phone upgrade at a similar time. So it'll be a k700 and a ipod in the same month:-).

Oh and theres me thinking i had to buy one lol. Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. The internets rife with them at the mo. I know it doesn't ask for money. My guess is they're gonna ask for a joining fee and are currently testing the water to get an idea of how much interest/how much to ask for. Love to believe it though

For any1 else wanting one in the uk: amazon have them for 175 with delivery. I preordered one and i have a estimated date of 26th june whereas applestore say 5th aug. So i canceled the applestore one. So it seems that amazon don't have that much of a queue yet so get in there

The iTrip fits onto your iPod and transmits at the FM frequency you want,
allowing you to listen to your ipod on say, your car radio etc, as long as you are near by.
The old ipod ones will work but the new ones will be flush with the miniipod and i believe the colours will match |
