5 out of 5 stars Classic and 3G nano problem now fixed with 1.1.2 firmware   April 30, 2008

To any reading these reviews - there was a compatibility problem between the Robi and the Apple iPod Classic and 3G Nano models which appeared when Apple released version 1.1 of the iPod software for these models. Version 1.1.1 did not solve this. Version 1.1.2 released on 30th April 2008 does solve this, and the Robi now no longer turns off after two minutes. Thanks Apple! I can now listen for hours at at time. One minor new problem replaces that old one. If Robi is in DAB or FM mode and you use Robi to switch off your iPod, then you will generally need to use the iPod controls to switch back on again, and it may require a couple of On-Off cycles. No such problem if you switch off with Robi in Remote Control mode.

I note that one reviewer found very poor battery life using Robi on his Nano. I can only assume that his battery was already pretty worn out. I can get quite a few hours listening when powered from a 3G nano.

After reading some negative reveiws on the Rodi POD1 and the apple DAB radio, I took a chance and bought the Robi.
I could not be happier with the radio.
Sound quality and reception are excellent (Live in Cardiff) and the battery life isn't remarkably short at all. I bought mine to listen to commentary & sports news when going to the football next season, so was a bit concerned that the ipod would run out of oompf before the end of the game. However, I have run the unit for 2 hours in DAB mode from a full charge, and still had 1/2 - 3/4 battery life left.



5 out of 5 stars Roberts Radio Robi ipod DAB unit   December 28, 2007

I love this device. It works excellently - at last a radio that works while jogging, cycling, on the bus, train etc. I don't like having so much cable, altho it does allow you to put the
ipod somewhere secure and just use the remote. It costs a lot but you get a lot of functionality in return.

Have had an ipod for many years but have always been ticked off that it never came with a radio - now robi has answered all my prayers. Having spent the day on the beach last saturday listening to my ipod but wanting to listen to the horse racing during the Darby, I decided that the one thing missing from my ipod was radio functionality. So this week having decided to upgrade my 30GB Video and 80GB Classic for a 160GB Classic I thought I would do some surfing to see if a radio device was available that could connect to and go through my ipod... and here is the beauty - small enough to go in my ipod case, brilliant reception and self tuning what more could you ask for (well except a radio actually within the ipod but hey it hasn't happened in the last however many years so i've no reason to suspect that apple will magically start producing one). This is definately money well spent and makes my classic even more essential. Thoroughly recommended.
