Simple question, can somebdoy please recommend a decent fm transmittor that will charge both my Iphone 3g and my Nano 5g.
I have an Itrip but it doesn't support charging and I have heard the Itrip Autopilot is not great.
Any suggestions would be great

My iTrip has a charging port on the bottom. It works with my iPhone (although I do get the nag screen.)

iLounge gave the tunebase FM a good review - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/belkin-tunebase-fm-for-iphone-and-ipod/
I know the lighter socket in my work truck will not support anything so it isn't really an option for me unless I dissect it. I hate to spend a $100 on something just to tear it apart, I would love a decent FM transmitter that is not a mount.
For me I am still using my 5th gen iPod until I can find a decent FM transmitter for my iPhone.

I bought the Tunebase after reading the review here. It works great . . . driving to and from work is all the charging I need. I've mostly been using the cassette adapter I was using before I got it (on the line-out port on the bottom of the tunebase), but I did try out the FM transmitter and it works fine as well.
One caveat: my 3g fits snugly in the holder, so you have to remove any case. I'd guess the ipod holders are the same way (it comes with swappable holders depending on what device it is holding).
