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

I'm not so sure there aren't some clumsy adults out there who wouldn't benefit from one of these kid-targeted iPod cases from ifrogz: The Tadpole.

Looking remarkably similar to Apple's iPod HiFi, XtremeMac's Tango is a more economical home audio accessory for the iPod (we told you about this speaker system a long time ago, but it is now available).It's impossible to tell from either ExtremeMac's or Apple's website what the audio outputs specs of these two systems are, so it is difficult to compare them.
