When Apple released the new iPod Nano, there were several watch strap accessories that turned the new iPod Nano into a watch. This one is from Hex and it is probably the best yet. It looks great. They didn’t just add a watch strap to the iPod Nano, the Hex watch band actually integrates the iPod Nano into the strap, protecting it.

The Hex watch band for the iPod Nano comes in several colors including white, black, blue, silver, orange, green, red, grey and pink for $24.95.

XtremeMac has all manner of accessories and cases for Apple gear like the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Over the last few months, the company has been rolling out a lot of new audio docks that have some interesting features. The latest new dock from XtremeMac is the Tango TRX and the Tango TRX D.

Both of the versions have the same basic features. The both have a dock built into the main section of the device that charges while music plays. Both have Bluetooth and use 2.1 speakers inside. The speakers include a pair of tweeter, a pair of mid-range drivers, and a single downward firing subwoofer.

We all joked that the new iPod nano could be turned into a watch, so of course now iPod accessory makers are making accessories to turn your iPod nano into a digital wristwatch. It’s just gadget evolution. Incipio has announced the Linq, which is basically a case for the iPod nano, that also allows it to function as a wristwatch.

It will protect your device from bumps and knocks and drops. There’s no pricing info or a release date for this yet, but the nano really does make a nice watch it seems.

Apple has had it’s share of problems lately and now an Apple supply manager has been arrested, accused of taking more than $1 million in kickbacks from suppliers of accessories for the iPhone and iPod.

Paul Shin Devine allegedly used his position at Apple to supply about half a dozen Asian suppliers with information which put them in a better position to receive Apple contracts. Devine allegedly used several foreign bank accounts and a false company called ‘CPK Engineering’ to process the payments, and he is now in the custody of US Marshalls.

Scosche makes a ton of accessories for the iPhone and iPods from Apple. The company has announced its new line of cases for the iPhone 4 that was launched early this week. Scosche will be offering eight cases and three screen protectors for the phone.

The cases include the kickback g4 with a polycarbonate shell and a kickstand. The switchKASE g4 is silicone with a stand; the metalliKASE g4 is a polycarbonate case in chrome with a mirror screen protector.

iHome has been in the market for accessories like docks for the iPhone and iPod for a long time now. The company has announced that its iP90 alarm clock dock for the devices has been updated for 2010.

The iP90 has a larger display now than previous models and better sound. The treble and bass are adjustable and the device uses Reson8 stereo speaker chambers. Other features include multiple alarms and programmable snooze times.

The iPhone has more accessories and apps than anything in the history of everything. And this latest is probably one of the largest iPhone accessories ever, the Human Touch HT-Connect.

The HT Connect massage chair connects to your iPhone or iPod Touch via Bluetooth, and comes with an iPhone application that lets you control all the functions of the massage chair. Now THAT sounds relaxing. Until you see the price. I need a massage after seeing that $5,999 price.

If you fancy yourself a developer of accessories for the iPhone or iPod touch, you need the new Cypress Cy8CKIT-023 PSoC Expansion Board Kit for iPhone and iPod. The dev kit promises to make developing new hardware accessories for the devices easier.

The kit is a PSoC that includes the PSoC development board, processor module board, MiniProng 3 debug and evaluation device, and a prototyping cable kit. The Dev kit sells for $249.

Apple launched it’s new iPad tablet on Saturday, meeting long lines of individuals anxiously waiting, some for many hours, to purchase the new mobile device. The release of the iPad is the most anticipated product Apple has released since the iPhone launch in 2007, with almost as much hype surrounding it.

The iPads going on sale Saturday are the WiFi-only versions and are priced from $499 to $699 depending on the storage capacity desired, which ranges from 16GB to 64GB. Apple will release a 3G version of the iPad later in the month with prices ranging from $629 to $829, again depending on storage capacity.

The iPad devices are a small tablet-like device with a 9.7-inch touch screen (on screen keyboard) and they run an operating system very similar to the iPhone or iPod touch. They have the ability to download and play music and videos from Apple’s iTunes library, read books e-books with Apple’s new iBook application and use thousands of applications from the Apple App Store for the iPad.

iPad accessories are coming at a fast pace now that the device is official. We are seeing all sorts of gear with a lot of the stuff being sleeves and bags to protect the iPad while you are on the go. A new bag from Cocoon Innovations has been unveiled that will hold the iPad and lots of other stuff.

The bag is called the Gramercy messenger sling and it is designed to be worn over the shoulder. Inside the bag is a slot that will fit the iPad and is padded for protecting the device. The bag also features a GRID-IT system to store other gear that has elastic straps for holding things.

I never cease to be amazed at the weird accessories that you can find for the iPhone and iPods. I continue to be almost as amazed at what the manufacturers expect consumers to pay for some of these weird accessories.

A company called Branex has unveiled a new iPod docking stool called the iTamtam. Yeah, you read that right a stool with an iPod dock. Under the butt section of the seat are four tweeters and a 5.25-inch woofer.

There is no shortage of accessories on the market for the iPhone and the iPod. There are a plethora of docks and cradles that let you play music through your car or home stereo. Most of the docks require the iPhone to be plugged into them though.

Belkin has announced a new Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver that uses Bluetooth to wirelessly stream music from your iPhone to the home stereo. The device has a wireless range of 33 feet and works with all generation iPhones and the 2ng generation iPod touch.

ezVision video glasses have been around for a while now and are a great way to get a larger image without having to tote around a large device. The glasses have always had a DVD option and today the maker has announced a new iPod/iPhone adapter for the glasses.

The iPod/iPhone adapter plugs into the charge port of the iPhone and sends any video out onto the glasses giving you a simulated 50-inch or larger screen depending on the model of glasses you use. The adapter is available as kit or alone.

Now when you throw your Wiimote at the TV, you can do so in style. This plastic football accessory might even make Madden sell better on the Wii. It comes from CTA Digital, the company behind the Wii bowling ball and iPhone steering wheel. They are no strangers to weird accessories.

This Football for your Wii opens up to hold your Wiimote and the face buttons of your controller are on top of the football. It’s compatible with Madden 10, Madden 09 All-Play, NCAA Football 09 All-Play, and several other football games.

Oops. Best Buy has listings for a number of accessories from Belkin for the as yet unannounced iPod touch 3rd generation. None of the listings mention a digital camera on the back of this new model, but they list six new case lines on their website. Some of those cases sport “hand straps” however, suggesting that it will have a camera.

Following up on rumors that the new model might be delayed, Pocket-lint managed to get a Riverdale New Jersey Walmart to comment that they were expecting the “newer” iPod touch models at the “end of the month.”
