[CES 2009] The WiFli iPod Kit from Aamp might be small in size and not amount to much where design is concerned, but this is where the adage 'don't judge a book by its cover' holds true, as it has been categorized as a nominee under the Innovations International CES 2009 banner in the In-Vehicle Accessories category. What makes this so special? Well, the WiFli consists of two parts - the FM transmitter will be attached to a compatible iPod at the bottom, while the receiver kit is stuck onto the steering wheel. It can be used for both right- and left-handed folks since the buttons on the receiver kit can be turned upside down by removing the whole chunk, and it takes less than five seconds to perform a switch in orientation. As for the FM transmitter, it will draw power from your iPod in order to function, but boasts a mini USB port as well for you to charge it and your iPod simultaneously when you're driving by hooking it up to your car cigarette lighter via an adapter. The WiFli allows you total control of song navigation on the iPod without having to lift a hand off the steering wheel, but you won't get to see the album cover art though since there is no LCD display on this $99.95 device. The WiFli will ship this within late February or March this year.
