Griffin iTri legalized in the UK

Rejoice, British motorists! No longer will you need to cower when you ot police while listening to your iPod through an iTrip. The once illegal activity of using FM wavelengths to listen to your music on your car stereo is illegal no more, thanks to impending relaxation of a decades old law.

The iTrip and other low-power radio tra mitters were verboten under the Wirele Telegraphy Act of 1949, which was this week amended to allow them after what the C calls "strong co umer demand". The tra mitters will come off the black list on December 8th (also Wii launch day, if you're in the UK).

There is, however, still one small problem. You need to tune in the device to a are FM cha el, and these aren't so easy to come by in heavily populated areas such as London, where pirate radio thrives.

Of course, if you're driving around Congestion Charge-addled London in the first place, you're no stranger to co tant struggle.
