iPhone as a music player....same as iPod??

Mitch just purchased 32g iPhone for my wife. I've been playing the iPhone through 2009 Toyoata Venza car stereo (RCA input only no iPod/USB input option) and it sounds pretty good. I've also have my older iPod and I could not tell the difference.

Side Note: I loaded my iPhone contacts and wifes contacts from her iPhone via bluetooth into the GPS/Audio/Communication center very easily. Next I will be listening streaming audio or wireless-audio protocol from the iPhone.

Quick observation Mitch.

I listened to my iPod and new iPhone 3G via B&O BeoSound 1 and I did not notice any major difference. I thought the bass was fantastic and the midrange while playing very loud was excellent on couple of John Mayer songs recorded live.

Note that the IC used for BeoSound 1 requires 5 pin DIN connection which makes average RCA to mini ipod cables pretty lame. Plan on purchasing Analysis Plus iPod/iPhone cable (Silver Oval) for the Venza.
