Intempo iDAB Granite Black - DAB Radio For iPod And Speakers
Intempo iDab DAB Adaptor For iPod - Black
Intempo iDab DAB Adaptor For iPod - Silver


Buyer beware - I have written confirmation from Intempo that the iDab is NOT compatible with the Bose SoundDock. They are working on a solution, but if you want to use it with the Bose SoundDock then you would be wise to wait until you have written confirmation of its compatibility. Their advert on their website still indicates that it IS compatible with "All" iPod docking stations.

Its been a long wait and to be honest I thought perhaps Intempo were going to abandon this product after the shambles of another manufacturers attempt! but my iDAB arrived this morning. My first impressions were that it was smaller than I originally thought it would be. A niggle is that it took awhile to get into the box however! another observation is that it also does NOT come with headphones but uses the Apple headphones as the DAB aerial, this is neat because I worried a bit that the quality of the iDAB headphones would not be as good as my Apple ones. iDAB instructions were clear and it worked first time with my IPOD touch.

Got 38 stations first attempt and sound is clear with no distortion. I am also pleased that iDAB now docks into my Logitech mm50 speakers with ease meaning I now get DAB in my living room without having one of those vile DAB radios! speakers now play DAB radio most of the time and I have DAB on my ipod at the gym.

nice product bravo!

I bought this product as I felt it would give me exactly what I needed - a digital radio for my kitchen. However, after taking it out of the packet I could not get it to work. I tried with headphones and it worked fine but not in the docking station (which is market leader - Bose). I emailed iTempo and they came back to say that their engineers just found out that the iDab is incompatible with the Bose docking station.

I returned the item but have not heard anything and have not had a refund yet either! That was a month ago.

NOT HAPPY.

Pondered whether to buy this model or the Robert version but went for this as you can put it in your speakers. Worked well on the way to work, picked up my favourite stations and they sounded great, lost signal a little when I walked through a subway tunnel to avoid traffic but my phone also cuts out there so didn't think this unusual. Fit snugly in my pocket whilst docked onto my Nano and battery life lasted for the whole journey to and from work with quite a bit left after, which I thought was great. Also works with my Sony in ear style headphones which is great as the Apple one's hurt my ears. Haven't tried in a speaker system yet as I need to buy one, think I'll go for an Intempo set as this little device from them is great.

I have just received it and it's brilliant! So simple and easy to use, exactly what I was looking for. The reception is cristal clear, a real pleasure for the ears! I recommend it to anyone looking to listen to DAB radio on their iPod.
