Inexpensive iPhone Headset

Rivet offers an iPhone-compatible headset that allows you to listen to high-fidelity audio, and answer your phone calls with the same earphones.

The Stereo Headset uses a unique lanyard design to keep the buds from falling too far. It includes a remote switch to begin and end calls, and your music is automatically muted during calls. Noise-isolating design ensures clear audio.

Get it from Amazon for just $29.40.

All new iPods

This is some lineup of iPods! The phoneless iPhone (aka iPod Touch) and the all-new iPod Nano are the highlights, of course.

There does seem to be a storage gap, though. The nanos have a maximum capacity of 8GB, but the smallest iPod classic has an 80GB drive. Seems like there ought to be something in the middle, and why does the flagship product (the Touch) max out at only 16GB? It is using Flash memory, of course. I think I'd rather have the 160GB micro drive foudn in the high-end iPod classic.

I sense a lot of new gadgets on the horizon...

Jam Jacket for your iPhone

DLO has a protective case for your iPhone that also provides cord management for your headphones: The Jam Jacket.

The silicone case provides protection, improves your grip on the iPhone, and also provides a place to wrap up and control your headphones. Another great feature: The Jam Jacket has an opening for the proximity sensor, so you won't accidentally activate the touch-sensitive screen during a phone call.

The best news: Everything iPod has them on sale right now for $19.99.
