Blue Raven Technology, a provider of iPod accessories, came out this week with three new add-ons for everybody’s favorite digital audio player. These include a voice recorder (around $40), FM transmitter (around $50) and home theater dock (around $80).

The voice recorder has a built-in mono microphone for use with the iPod’s voice memo function and draws power from the player. It also sports line-in jacks for recording from other devices. The wireless FM transmitter offers playback over a FM radio up to 100 feet away, station presets and an included car charger for keeping your iPod charged while traveling.

Rounding out the new Blue Raven iPod accessories is a home theatre dock. This lets you connect your iPod to a home theatre system so you can enjoy audio and video in larger ways. All of these accessories look to be available now.

You have an iPod. You drive a vehicle which uses Ford’s new Sync media system. You want to connect the two. You probably in that case want the new Keyspan Sync Cable for iPod, priced at around $50.

The Keyspan Sync Cable for iPod works in conjunction with the Sync system found currently in 12 models of 2008 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. The cable acts as a bridge between your iPod and Sync so that your player’s content can be displayed on the in-car entertainment screen. You can control the iPod through the Sync system while it charges at the same time.

This iPod speaker dock from Taiwan’s Nova has a transparent, waterproof covering that looks like a tube of some sort of lotion or gel, complete with a whole in the end where it would hang on display at the store. The idea is to provide a waterproof speaker system for your iPod that lets you bring it into the shower. It also looks like you might even be able to control the iPod through the case but in reality to us it looks like just a cheap way to try to make a waterproof dock.

I kid you not. The first step is applying peroxide strips on your teeth. Then just put the mouthpiece in your mouth, plug it into your iPod, and crank up the tunes. This is the latest(and only) iPod teeth whitening system. It promises a whiter smile after just 30 minutes of music time.

If I understand the physics of this iWhitening, the music conducts through bone, creating vibrations that make the strips work. I wouldn’t give up regular dental checkup’s just yet, but it’s cool to think that music can magically “rock” your teeth whiter. You’ll want to use it indoors, as the weird mouthpiece will insure that people maintain as much distance from you as possible.

While we’re pretty sure we’ve seen bicycle speakers before, including ones for the iPod, cy-fi is a new product designed to dock your iPod and the first we’ve seen to provide wireless speakers mounted on your bike to “ride louder” according to the company.

The idea comes from bike riders who wear headphones to listen to music and are unable to adequately hear traffic around them. The cy-fi system lets them bring their music along in a compact package without the ambient sound restrictions by most headphones.

You want strange, we’ve got strange. Check this iPod dock out that is being offered by a Korean company called 10×10. For a low price (how does about $16 sound to you?) you can import a docking station for your iPod player that looks like a Lego brick.

Whether 10×10 got the license to manufacture an Apple accessory that uses another company’s trademark is up for grabs but if you still have fond recollections of your childhood toys and need a more colorful dock for your ‘pod, now you can stop your search. Measuring 6 cm x 1.5 cm x 2.5 cm, the dock comes in red, yellow and blue and features two speakers built right in. Just don’t get it lost amongst your real Lego bricks.

Unless you are using a waterproof case taking your iPod into your spa is probably not a smart idea. Hot Spring Spas believes it has a solution for you though by unveiling its Moonlight Spa Music System.

The Moonlight Spa Music System, which includes an iPod docking station, wirelessly transmits music from any audio source to four weatherproof speakers which surround you as you make sweet love in the spa. You can control tracks on the iPod and adjust audio volume with a floating, waterproof remote control. This remote also lets you control most electronic spa features while in the water.

The Belkin TuneBase gets a face lift with some welcomed improvements to this FM Transmitter. With ClearScan technology, users won’t have to wait for a stop light to adjust the station for clearer reception, instead the technology automagically finds the clearest station for you.

The button interface has been replaced with an LCD screen displaying the current station. A new Pro mode for improved audio quality and volume boost is integral, and an indicator informs the user when the mode is active.

When innovation is elusive try novelty, right? Available in an assortment of colors and certified “Made For iPod”, Mountain Network Solutions unleashes an iPod docking station that will call attention to itself.

Included are the necessary adapters to dock any iPod that is docking capable. The unit will synchronize with iTunes and is controllable via a small remote for navigating playlists and adjusting volume, bass and treble.

Today Marware launched four new decently priced iPod cases targeting the new 3rd generation video iPod nano, one of which being the Sportsuit Relay, combining two cases in one.

The Sportsuit relay case is created to hold both the new iPod nano and the Nike + iPod Sport Kit receiver and sensor, and includes a small sensor pouch that weaves into the laces of almost any running shoe along with a wristband carrying case. An expansion component to the case lets you also wear the iPod nano on your wrist along with it.

Marware’s other cases for the new video nano include the Sportsuit Runabout, Sportsuit Convertible and the SportGrip. The Sportsuit Runabout case encloses the face of the iPod in a clear plastic case with an adjustable …

Macallay has a gadget designed for use on the go that provides conveniences in more ways than one. The whole device is designed to fit in the cup holder of your car and can handle both your music and phone conversations in one handy package.

For one, the BTCUP is an iPod dock, compatible with the 1st and 2nd generation nano’s, 4th and 5th generation iPods and the iPod Mini. The BTCUP is powered off of the cars cigarette lighter and will charge the iPod while its docked.

With new iPods of course come new iPod accessories. It’s an ever money making cycle for the iPod eco-system. One of the newest announced today for the new iPod nano is the iXoundWear Cap, priced at around $20 and due out likely by November.

iXoundWear, having made head wear for previous iPod models, is taking that skill and applying it to hats for holding the new nanos. Caps will be available in Sports and Running versions, distinguishable the company says by the type of fabric used, and will come in a rainbow of colors to match your iPod. Features include a fabric player pocket, control window to access the Click Wheel and a wire management system.

Griffin is Johnny-on-the-spot with advertising its new cases for latest version of Apple’s iPods, with one of the coolest looking ones being a reflective case for the 3rd generation iPod Nano.

This case fits the new, fatter-style video nano and features a mirrored chrome-finish on the front. When the iPod is turned off it appears that the case has no window for the display with a seamless reflective face. When the iPod nano is powered on the display shines clearly through. The back of the Reflect case is a rubberized matte black to give it some grip and keep it from sliding around.

Of course this cool, reflective case from Griffin isn’t quite available yet but promises to start shipping in in October with the entire new line of cases retailing between $20 and $35.

Polk Audio yesterday unveiled a new version of its I-Sonic tabletop radio. The new I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 (ES2) is priced at around $500 and should be available next month.

The I-Sonic ES2 combines iPod and HD Radio playback in much the same way the original I-Sonic did HD Radio and DVD playback. The ES2 has a top-mounted dock which works with all iPods with dock connectors. One feature which is particularly interesting is iTunes Tagging. This new universal technology lets you buy songs heard on HD Radio broadcasts by “tagging” those songs into the ES2′s memory. When you dock an iPod the tags are transferred to the music player as a playlist, which can later be previewed through iTunes on a computer for purchase and download.

Take a look at this iRing design concept by Victor Soto used to control any Apple media device including iPods and the iPhone. The ring charges in its own custom-sized cradle and has a small OLED display inside the small Apple logo that indicates it’s current status of play or pause, which can then be toggled by touch. Sliding a finger across the ring one way or the other will adjust the volume and the ring can be locked by squeezing your finger to avoid inadvertent touches. The ring can be used play, pause, move tracks back and forward and control the volume of an iPod or iPhone wirelessly, and will instantly identify you beyond the shadow of a doubt as a tried and true Apple fanboy.
