We all like to take our music with us be it cds, ipods or mp3 players we've got our tunes on the go with us to partially keep us entertained and to partially block out the world around us. I've got an AT&T Tilt cellphone, or otherwise known as the HTC TyTn II, and it has replaced my mp3 player as my portable music device of choice. I have my phone with me always, so why should I have to carry another device to listen to my music when my phone does an excellent job of it for me? One small problem with that is when I'm in the car I'm still stuck with cds or even the radio, with the radio it's always channel flipping because of people talking or commercials, and with cds it's advancing to different tracks because not all of the music on a cd is good. I've got an FM Transmitter for my mp3 player that partially solves this problem, but again I have to carry another device with me, but not anymore...

Today on the review block I've got the Dopod / HTC FM Transmitter with handsfree functions from our friends over at USBFever and it not only enables me to play my mp3s that are stored on my phone through my car stereo, but it features a built in microphone that allows you to use it as a handsfree device...
