What's the best one?
Preferably:
(1) Chargeable in a regular outlet.
(2) Can be played in a car. I'm not sure if a tape is better or if FM is better, but some vehicles don't have the tape option anyway.(I'm overwhelmed by the number of Griffin products.)
Thanks.

Forgot to mention: used for a 2nd generation iPod Touch.

Juhls my dear, the Tuneflex AUX SmartClick (is it me or are products getting increasingly BAD names these days?) looks good. It's got a remote-control thingie which is cool. Auxiliary input only if that's a concern so you'll need a car-deck with an aux-input or a tape adapter (most late-model cars don't even have tape decks anymore).
I've never been a fan of either the tape deck or the FM transmitter but I guess it's more versatile if you find yourself jumping between cars and so on.
My two cents.

I use both too. Wall Outlet USB Converter, that I can connect to the computer when need be.
Also have a phone charger in the car that doubles as a FM Transmitter which only works in a small stretch of road between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
... If you have a lot of FM Stations in Ottawa, I wouldn't recommend it, haha. However, it does work as a phone charger in the car, so that's a plus.
- Yeah, I'm worried about the FM option. We don't have lots of stations, but don't think the reception is great.juhls

buy the apple wall charger... some 3rd party products don't work with new ipods (i had problem with nano).
and that TuneFlex.... is not an FM transmitter? no?
but transmitters sucks anyways. get an aux pluggin or a cheap new car deck with outlet or usb.

I don't think Tuneflex uses the FM transmitter, does it?
"The included stereo mini cable connects TuneFlex to your stereo’s AUX-in jack for clean, interference-free sound"I haven't heard any promising reviews for the FM ones...

Yea, if my car wasn't such a piece of shit I'd get a new head unit that would have the iPhone plug directly into it.
Alas ... it's a g-ddamn customization that would cost a few thousand to get done last time I checked (I didn't really look into it too much, despite the fact I'm on the internet constantly I still have a hard time finding answers to what I need, haha).
