Gear up your iPod with a new look

The iPod is a brand of portable media players designed and marketed by the giant: Apple Computer Inc. Apple’s iconic music player has spawned a multi-billion dollar gobal industry in accessories. Independent vendors too are manufacturing these accessories nowadays. Here’s a non-exhaustive list to some of the iPod accessories available:


iStation sub-woofer
It is a complete listening, recharging and synchronising solution package for iPod or iPod Mini. The iStation sub-woofer, dynamic tweeter speakers and 3D surround sound processor produces high quality Hi-Fi sound. It’s compact and measures only 137mm x 195mm x 40mm and can be powered by AC mains or 4 AA batteries.




iDog
It’s a cute little speaker that doubles up as a toy dog. One can listen to the melodious music by plugging the iPod into the iDog’s side port. The tail is a toggle to turn the speaker off. Moreover, the iDog rocks with flashing lights and its body movements change according to the mood of the music being played. The toy dog features seven kinds of LED lights that flash in different patterns.


JBL On Time
This is a high performance speaker and sound centre for the iPod. It lets you wake up to music stored on your iPod. One can experience clean, powerful and dynamic sound by connecting the iPod to the JBL On Time. JBL On Time includes a radio, clock and dual alarm, and is the world’s first time-machine to include a menu-driven, intuitive user interface.


Bang & Olufsen A8
These are the earphones for the iPod which strike a perfect balance between a design that fits an individual ear and the sound quality. Crafted from aluminium and hard rubber, these earphones can be adjusted to fit the contours and curves of most people’s ears. The A8 earphones stop the leakage of sound thus, giving a truly unique music experience.


H2O Audio
It is a water proof housing that allows one to enjoy music while swimming. With the H2O Audio series, one can dive 10 feet deep and still maintain full control over the iPod. The product’s Commander Scroll Wheel allows the use of Click Wheel in water.

The above mentioned list of accessories is non-exhaustive and the features mentioned above may not be the best in the class. It is advisable to conduct ones own reasearch before shelling out dough on these items.

Finally do remember to go in for Apple iPod socks which are protective coverings for your asset and come in six vibrant colours- green, purple, grey, blue, orange and pink.
