Green Power has a new sliding speaker for your iPod. Looks like it actually adds some class to the iPod nano and iPod touch, neither of which have built-in speakers. Think of it as a weak but portable dock, with twin 1.5W speakers.
And the world has another iPod dock. At least Yamaha’s new TSX-W80 iPod dock has a retro flair, sporting some actual knobs.

Wow. We are really seeing some actual cool iPod docks this week. Yamaha’s latest are amazing looking. It’s not just looks either, it’s made with metal, not plastic and apparently that doesn’t hurt the audio quality very much.

Sharp just announced the DK-AP8P and the DK-AP7P, two portable iPod speakers. The DK-AP8P is the more powerful of the two, with a special front face plate that acts as a control panel. The magnetic cover can also be removed from the main system and used as a remote control.
Oops. Best Buy has listings for a number of accessories from Belkin for the as yet unannounced iPod touch 3rd generation.

There are more iPod docks on the market than you can shake a stick at. Not sure why you would do such a thing, but it’s true. But Elonex has something new in iPod docks. Something actually innovative. The iGAME dock may not be sexy, but it can handle music, videos, podcasts and video podcasts in the usual way. But what sets it apart is that it’s primarily a game console, designed to use Apple’s newest players. And yes, it owes much to the Wii.
Wayyyy back in November of 2008, we told you about the

These 45 Nano Cases are made from actual cassette tapes and will fit 4th gen iPod nanos. It doesn’t get much cooler than this. I would buy an iPod Nano just so I can put it in this case. You get 24 color options to choose from.
Philips’s new Wake-up Light Alarm HF3490 won’t jolt you awake. Instead it will wake you up gradually by increasing the amount of light a little at a time. That way you can wake up the way nature intended. With light, not harsh sounds.
