Kensington LiquidFM mp3 FM adapter

Turn on the car's radio (tuned to any FM station) and plug your MP3 player into the LiquidFM Plus.
The LiquidFM scans the radio for a clear, unused frequency and beams the MP3's sounds directly to that channel. The device gives you three station presents, an important feature because as you travel, the channel you're using may pick up an existing radio station.
Power for the LiquidFM comes from your car's cigarette lighter; use your MP3's USB cable to charge it with LiquidFM USB-pass through port. You can pick one up for under $50.

Sansa e260 mp3 player

The e260 features a microSD slot for adding more storage, an FM tuner/recorder, a voice recorder, subscription-service compatibility, and a removable battery. The iPod nano features, well, none of those.
It's not compatible with Amazon's Unbox video service (rats!), so there's no easy way to stock it with movies or TV shows. If you can live with that shortcoming, this is an impossibly good deal.
CNet is reporting a refurbished 4GB SanDisk Sansa e260 that will run you $39.99.
