OK, took a bit of looking around.
The original BlueTrip had a top mount transmitter. Came out just when Apple dropped the top power port, so they re-released it with a bottom mount (dock connector) transmitter. The latter is the BlueTrip LE. It does not say "LE" on the box, but does have a photo of the bottom mount transmitter.
Also, apparently Griffin's web site contradicts what's in the box.
Note: on a Mac you need OS 10.5 or later for this to work properly.
iCraveit is selling the BlueTrip via buy.com for $17.18 shipped:

my quote was a few cents less using USPS shipping directly from iCraveit:

Good luck.

Griffin's Web site says the BlueTrip (receiver) only functions with the BlueTrip Source, but the BlueTrip's included documentation contradicts this. In fact, you can easily pair a computer or other device with the BlueTrip (receiver)."
