Yes I know. But we don't know how much radiation travels haphazardly up the earphones, due to them acting as a physical conductor being attached to the metal iPhone. It wouldn't be traveling up through the audio wire of course.. just hitching a ride on the outside of the cable, very much like what happens with the wire telephone game.
Got a tip for us?

Probably less radiation than we received from our computers while reading this forum. I would say a trace amount at best and probably less likely to harm us than the smog we breathe on our commutes.
Dude...
Cell phone radiation is harmless. It's such a little amount that it literally CAN'T hurt you.
But whatever.
AFAIK radiation doesn't travel over plastic...
Because I had the same poor experience with FM transmitters, I got a Bluetooth receiver with an audio-out stereo plug that fits the audio-in port of my car radio. Here's a link to the device on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Portable/dp/B0059M4G9K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1346194591&sr=8-3&keywords=bluetooth+receiver
I use it with an iPhone to play podcasts, Pandora, and Internet radio, but it would work just as well with an iPod Classic and a Bluetooth transmitter like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-SYN2837A-Bluetooth-replaces-Streaming/dp/B003KRFGPY/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346195120&sr=1-9&keywords=bluetooth+transmitter+for+iPod
(I also use an iPod Classic in the armrest with steering wheel controls and display on the Nav screen---works extremely well as others have said.)
1.8 inch Hard Drives. supplied by Toshiba and Samsung.
all iPods and iPod minis had HDDs. iPod Nanos, touches and shuffles have SSDs
Seems like a lot of work if you have an audio input you could just use an AUX Cable. Or am I missing something?
You've been talking to my wife, eh? Did she also tell you how silly I am to have AppleTV when I could just cable from a MBP to the TV? Or that the speakers I installed in the ceiling above the kitchen table didn't really need to attached to an amp and Airport Express so I can beam music to them wirelessly? She just doesn't accept "because I can, and it's cool" as a good reason.
I try to talk about how messy wires are, and how convenient it is to be able to pick up the iPod/iPhone/MBP and pass it around the car, or be able to see the screen easily when scrolling, but if all you're interested in is getting things done practically and inexpensively, well...
Bro chill. I wasn't saying you are silly I was just asking. But really having one cable is that much of an issue then it's what ever. Have fun with that. And as to your other points they don't really make sense, because Apple tv and the airport express work well with multiple devises so I can see why people run them and you don't have to worry about running a bunch of cabling.

The Classic solution
Er...
I fire up mine... and take it for a walk.
My original reason for buying the Classic is unchanged. Music or audio books available as I walk.
I need no other purpose.

That I have got to see. My focus has always hailed hardware hacking as important.
Depending on the size of your personal data: use it as an external drive for your Time Machine backups?
Or (going for the "most creative" award here) if you're a gamer, hollow out the iPod and turn it into a dice tower.

Ha this is an old thread, but for people just browsing it now, elsewhere there is a lot of creative things you can actually do with your iPod, e.g. http://lifehacker.com/5117895/top-10-ways-to-repurpose-your-old-ipod
