Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Who would have known (besides our Queen’s English-speaking friends) that FM transmitters, and hence iTrips, were recently illegal in the UK.

Previous legislation designed to curb pirate radio stations disallowed use of the device in the UK. The law prohibited the iTrip from transmitting music from an iPod to any FM radio. Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s Office of Communications, has implemented the Wireless Telegraphy Exemption today and effectively lifted the ban on FM Transmitters.

We are sure that Griffin, Belkin, and all other iPod, Zune, and other DAP accessory makers were ecstatic about the new news.
