Title: If only it worked!
Product review: I'm sorry to say I'm really underwhelmed with the SmartDeck. I pre-ordered mine at Griffin as soon as I heard about it at Macworld in early 2005 and received it last week, nearly a year later.The Skip and Scan features simply do not work. My car's tape player sometimes spits it out when it's inserted. The sound response is ok on the bass, but the mid and high levels leave a lot to be desired. (The Sony tape adapter that came with my Discman when I got it, oh, 7 years ago, sounds much better.)About the only feature that works as advertised is that it turns my iPod on/off when the tape player is turned on/off. I also noticed that If I fast forward my tape (not skip it) and then hit play after about 5 seconds, it *sometimes* skips to the next song.I'll be returning mine.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
