This is not an accurate device. I compared one to a professional breath analyser used by the police.
The error was up to 35% more or less, depending on the person who breath.
It also showed that a person who was drinking orange juice (and only orange juice) was drunk…
If I knew that before, I would not spend over $6 on it. You can buy more accurate alcohol detectors at “Dealextreme” for 6-7$ only. No need to destroy your Iphone’s connector…

This device is not FDA approved but the distributor doesn’t care. further, its a semiconductor technology device which have been shown to be notoriously inaccurate. The cops use fuel cell devices. Buyer beware.

This may not be the most visually pleasing device to have attached to you phone or ipod, but it could be a great device to do some “pre-driving” BAC checking. May save your life or a night in jail if you are questioning whether or not you should drive. Thanks for the article….

The Good: Compact. Seems accurate enough. The FM transmitter is a nice bonus.

The Bad: $90 is way overpriced for the iBreath. I got it on sale for $60, and even that is too high for the quality. It has none of the aesthetic cues of the iPhone. The male connector is missing the little metal locking ears found on genuine Apple connectors. This means that the iBreath does not securely attach to the iPhone. No big deal when using it as a breathalyzer, but it constantly disconnects when using as an FM transmitter (which seems to only work on the bottom end of the spectrum) particularly as it gets jostled in the car.

The Ugly: The female connector is USB, not iPod/iPhone spec. This means the iPhone won’t recharge when connected to the power adapter through the iBreath (and the iPhone always needs to be recharged). And I now have to have four power cords: iBreath, iPhone, radar detector, and Garmin GPS.
