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.
Wristwatch case for your Shuffle
 USB Fever is selling a cool way to carry your iPod Shuffle: A watch-style Wristband case.It allows you to wear your Shuffle like a wristwatch, and protects your Shuffle, too. They come in 6 colors, and are only $9.99 each.

Wireless iPod Remote from Monster Cable

And in all fairness, I should say that Belkin's SportCommand remote actually sells for more.

Even though the case provides lots of protection for both the iPod body and the screen, it is less likely to be needed since the Tadpoles come with the wonderful built-in handles.They have a model for the 30GB iPod and the 60/80 GB iPod (the ones with video).Get any of the six available colors for $24.95.
