Speculation is mounting around the potential unveiling of a technological rival to the Griffin iTrip, according to reports.

The Griffin iTrip has until now largely dominated the market for iPod users wishing to wirelessly link their players to stereos or speakers.

Priced at just £29.69 from iPodWorld, providing the cleanest possible signal and offering the advantage of not requiring batteries, the specifically designed iPod gadget has been a huge commercial success.

However, competition is now expected to come in the form of a wireless solution in the form of another Bluetooth adapter.

Manufacturer Belkin is allegedly planning to introduce the TuneStage, a Bluetooth kit linking the iPod to any stereo system or iPod speaker set.

Rumours suggest the device could be introduced next month although details surrounding price and quality have not as yet been divulged.
