Works for Me!!.......2007-07-03
Te is a neat little device. I use it on my motorcycle. Tuck the iPod in the trunk or fairing pocket where it can't be seen. Velcro the remote to the dash and cruise. When I get off the bike, I pull the remote off the dash and stick it in my pocket. Nobody knows the iPod is on the bike. The remote works just as it is supposed to as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand why some people have given this a bad review. Maybe they just got a bad unit. I would buy another one if I had to.
Perfect Ipod Accessory.......2007-04-10
This is great no wires. my Ipod rest in my Backpack protected and I can operate it with-out having to go in my backpack. The one downside is. It wont connect to the Ipod with the protective cases I have. It's a bummer and defeats the purpose of having the Ipod enclosed in a case. But it's a small price to pay. I just put it in my PSP case and off i go. Not pretty or functional. But with the remote you don't need to bring it out of the PSP Case.
MyMac.com Hardware Review by Donny Yankellow.......2007-01-30
Wireless remotes for your iPod have been around for a while. Recently, a new generation of remotes has started to appear on the scene. These remotes have displays to show you what you are playing on the iPod. The iJet Two-Way is one of these remotes.
The iJet Two-Way is available in black and white, and it is compatible with any iPod with a 30-pin dock connector. It requires one AAA battery for the remote control.
The system consists of the remote and the receiver. The remote is a little box that measures a little less than 1 1/2"x2 1/2", and it is about 3/4" thick. It also has a small (about 1/2") antenna on the top, the iPod control buttons, and a 2 line LCD display. The receiver, which attaches to the dock connector of the iPod, is the width of a full sized 5th generation iPod, less than an inch long, and as thick as an 80GB iPod.
Unlike other remotes with a display that I have seen, this remote does not require a dock connector/base. You can leave the house and go anywhere with the iJet Two-Way connected to the iPod.
As with other iJet remotes I have reviewed, the basic remote features of the Two-Way are great. You have play, pause, volume up and down, skip, and scan. Holding the play button will even power down the iPod. The range of the remote is fantastic, and the box states you can go up to 150ft away. I had no problems having the remote work from the third floor of my house to the basement.
The receiver has some improvements over older iJet remotes. Like the other iJet receivers, this has a dock connector at the bottom so you can charge your iPod with the remote connected, or even sync it. In addition to that, you can now change the volume of speakers connected through the dock connector by using the remote . New on this receiver is a headphone jack. This is great for Nano users, and it also improves the sound quality over listening through the standard headphone jack. If you use the standard jack, some of the remote controls will not work.
The LCD display is what makes this iJet remote different from the other iJet line. The display is made up of two lines, and has a blue backlight. The backlight makes the display easy to see and read.
Using the display, and corresponding buttons, you can scan your iPod for artists, songs by an artist, and your playlists. You choose which list you want to see buy clicking a button on the side of the remote.
You cannot scan specific albums. For this I would suggest making album specific playlists.
The only issue I had with searching my iPod is that the remote picks up audiobooks and podcasts (video podcasts, too). However, these are not categorized, they are just lumped together in the list of artists. So, once again, specific playlists would be suggested for sorting these out. Video playlists are also detected. If it is in a playlist, it will be listed.
In order for the remote to display the playlists and artist list you have to load them onto the remote. This is where the Two-Way falters, and the directions that come with the remote are no help. In fact, they confused me even more.
The first time you use the Two-Way you choose if you want to load playlists or your artists off the iPod. When I did this for the first time, I chose playlists. By choosing playlists the artists and tracks not in those playlists were not loaded onto the remote. Trying to load the entire artist list using the same procedure did not work.
I tried every troubleshooting reset, and I still could not load the rest of my artists.
Finally, I found directions for using the remote on a second iPod. This button combination allowed me to load all my artists and playlists at once. I was now able to search through the lists of artists through the remote and choose who I wanted to play.
I then ran into another problem. If you add tracks to iTunes or change your playlists, how do you update the remote? There is no mention of this in the directions. The only method I found to work was using the button combination I found for using the remote on a second iPod.
I finally thought I had figured things out. However, I discovered that the remote did not always load properly and some tracks by random artists were not listed. I reloaded the remote, and it seemed to correct itself.
Once loaded the remote does work great. I have an in-line jack in my car for my iPod, but it is under the armrest console. With the Two-Way I can choose a playlist or artist off my iPod without having to get the iPod out of the console. It is also great for those who play the iPod through a house/office wide speaker system. You can control the iPod from another room of the house or office.
Unfortunately, the issues with loading the remote, the bad directions, and a high price of about $130 (I have seen it at various internet stores for under $100) makes this a hard product to recommend. If you have the money to spend, consider yourself good with gadgets, and you have a lot of patience you might want to give this a try. For everyone else I would suggest the one of the other iJet remotes, which are great.
Hopefully, ABT will continue to work on what has the potential for an amazing iPod remote.
MyMac.com rating: 2.5 out of 5
Pros:
Remote controls for controlling the iPod work great
Great range
No need for a dock connector/base
Remote displays what you are playing and lets you choose what you want to play without having to use the iPod
Cons:
The directions a lacking important information for loading the remote
Loading the remote is confusing (partly because of the directions) and some tracks might be missing
You cannot scan for specific albums
The price is on the expensive side
This device is amazing when you learn to work it. .......2006-10-29
This device is the first of its kind and it works very well once you learn how to use it. I use it on both my ipod 5g and ipod 5.5g. The playlist option is the best feature so learn how to make good playlists people. The AAA battery in the remote will last for a week of heavy use. I only use recharable batteries so it's no problem for a 21st century man like myself.
IT REALLY WORKS AT 150 feet!
Ignore the other review (but this thing does suck).......2006-10-16
The other reviewer of this product obviously didn't read the directions. First of all, the unit comes with a piece that secures the battery in the remote. Second, I am assuming it is a limitation of the iPod's software, but when the remote adapter is plugged in, the iPod is supposed to say it is OK to disconnect. Having said that, the unit does suck. When the adapter is plugged in, you cannot use the iPod's controls or view anything on its screen. The remote is very buggy and often loses its connection to the iPod. If you go through songs too quickly, the information displayed on the screen will not always be correct. The iPod doesn't always respond to the remote. You can hear a buzzing in your earphones when information is being transferred to the remote. Battery life is pathetic. Finally, the remote scratches easily and is ugly. Suffice it to say, I returned mine.
