Product Description
With the wired remote, you can control slideshow, video and music playback - adjust volume, skip forward/back within a playlist - plus switch between radio stations and turn the radio on or off, even if your iPod is in your pocket or backpack. Clip the remote to your lapel, shirt or collar for easy access, and activate the hold switch to eliminate unwanted button presses.At just over half an ounce in weight (15.7 grams), the compact remote features a simple, familiar interface and plugs into the Dock connection on your iPod or iPod nano.Because the iPod Radio Remote is powered by the iPod itself - no extra batteries required - using the FM radio will affect iPod playback time.

 Not so fabulous September 3, 2008

TeckNet MT-051 Apple iPod FM and Remote Control
The product really isn't fit for purpose:
1. Radio interference from mobile phones is shocking! Travelling on a train where mobile signals come in and out made using this device painful - lots of nasty buzzing. And this is when I wasn't using the product as a radio.
2. The back and forward buttons worked the wrong way around! I.e. to fast forward I had to press the reverse button.
3. When left plugged in it drained my iPod battery even when I'd set the iPod into sleep mode.
I can't fault the customer service on this though - when I mentioned the first two problems to me Tecknet responded very quickly and very positively.
 Good Remote, bad speaker... June 12, 2008

I bought this item, thinking that it will have an speaker and a remote for my iPod, it did.
After a couple of weeks, although I did not increase the volume to the maximum level, the speaker stopped working, but the remote still worked.
I asked for a replacement, thinking that maybe there was a problem with the product, they sent me the replacement, it was working again, but the same thing happened after a couple of weeks, so I asked for another replacement, I did this for about 3 times.
After that, they said send it to us and we will see what the problem was, they think I am an idiot, well if you think about it, it will cost me more than the products price to send it to them, so I did not send them, but I thought, if they sent me another, it will have the same problem.
So, do not, I repeat, do not buy this product if you are looking for speaker and remote in one, it is a good piece of kit for a remote, if you are looking for a remote but no speaker, then this is for you.
I gave this two stars because of the remote...

Great for your iPod, full control over your music play and a speaker too (useful if you want to share a video clip)!
Wish it was a little thinner (like the Apple FM remote) but the speaker does take up some space. Could have been managed though.
The actual item may differ, the one I received had 5 silver button controls (arranged in a circle) instead of a white single 4 position button and white centre button as shown.
