Ah christmas, we bow to your consumption inducing ways!
This tiny device is an FM transmitter that connects to any USB-equipped computer (Mac or Windows), and transmits the output to any FM radio in range. You can transmit over any FM frequency. (The USB connection also powers the device, thank goodness.)
A great thing about it is that you can open it by unsnapping it. The PR guy for Griffin told me to try it. I unsnapped the plastic housing and unbent the antenna to increase the range (which is advertised as 10 to 30 feet). With the antenna sticking out, the range is at least 50 feet, and it goes through walls.
The RocketFM is hooked up to my eMac in the laundry room. Now I can play iTunes on our living room stereo. At $25, it’s an excellent, cheap, solution to integrating your computer with your stereo system.
