There are plenty of iPod Shuffle cases out there, but most lack personality. The MIX MONSTERS will dress up your gadget and give it a cute and scary new personality. It beats a plain old case.

They come with eyeball stickers plus two Monsters in each package. Just put your iPod Shuffle into one of these MIX MONSTERS and you now have a cute little friend. The Mix Monsters retail for just $7.99. Pretty neat and affordable.

Best Buy today has kicked off a post-Thanksgiving sale with a heavy emphasis on iPods. If you buy an 8GB fourth-generation iPod touch, you get a free GPS unit from the store’s in-house Insignia brand. Other iPods are also on sale, ranging from $5 for a fourth-generation iPod shuffle to $10 off new iPod nanos and $15 off the iPod classic.

It’s a good day to buy an iPod it seems. Zune too. If you want a Zune HD, you can also get a deal, as those who buy the 16GB or 32GB models can get a Zune HD AV Dock for free.

The new Shuffle is tiny, so Elecom’s Actrail headphones cut out the middleman, plugging the Shuffle in next to the right earpiece. Awesome design. You can only attach the current-generation Shuffle to the Actrails right now.

They’re available in pink or white for $50 in Japan, but it won’t be long until others copy the design and offer it up in the States. it doesn’t get more wireless than that.

The folks over at iFixit were not going to stop at just disassembling the new iPod touch. Now it is the nano’s turn. The 6th-gen device weighs 67 percent of the volume of its predecessor, with a thicker body and an integrated clip on back.

The teardown found that the 2010 nano has its front glass, LCD and touchscreen assembly all fused together. The battery size is 105mAh, which doubles the 2010 shuffle’s 51mAh.

Panasonic has launched its new HJC120 and HSC200 headphones. Both are certified for Apple’s iPod and iPhone and both models offer a built-in microphone and remote. They can also access the VoiceOver function of the iPod shuffle, which is nice.

The remote control is water resistant for extra protection. The HJC120 is a canal type of headphone with an ergonomic design and a 90mm OctaRib speaker, while the HSC200 has a water resistant speaker housing with 12.4mm speakers for more dynamic sound.

Apple just revealed the 6th generation iPod nano, with a radical new redesign. The clickwheel is gone, replaced with a touchscreen interface and a shuffle-like square form factor. It’s 46 percent smaller and 42 percent lighter. Like I said, radical.

There are volume buttons on the side and a clip on the back as well as that multitouch touchscreen. You can expect 24 hours of audio playback. Seven color options will be available, including a Product RED option, with prices set at $149 for 8GB or $179 for 16GB.

Well, we knew it was coming and sure enough Apple has just announced a brand new, re-designed iPod shuffle that looks pretty neat. The buttons are back, and this version has up to a 15 hour battery life.

It comes in five colors, and will cost $49. You can pre-order it today if you can’t wait and it will ship next week.

Looks like the September 1st event by Apple might add a new iPod nano that could do away with the traditional Click Wheel design. It sure looks that way judging by some new cases. It’s a radical departure from previous generations of the iPod nano.

The missing Click Wheel makes it all smaller. We won’t know for sure until the event, but this one is looking confirmed.

You know the drill. An Apple event is imminent and lo and behold some cases turn up online. Yep, we’ve been here before. These come from Chinese case retailer X-Doria. There’s a case for what appears to be a 4th-gen iPod touch with a camera, and one that’s described as a case for a “nano 6G,” which could be for a new iPod shuffle with touchscreen.

The iPod touch case looks like it has a curved back similar to the current model, while the nano / shuffle case looks like it will hold that 1.7-inch Apple touchscreen that was rumored last month.

Word on the street is that there will be a revised set of Apple devices coming soon (as if that’s a surprise), specifically an iPod shuffle with a touchscreen display, a 7″ iPad for early next year, and a fifth generation iPhone as early as next January.

We would guess that the 7″ iPad is the focus, since it would make the device all the more appealing in a smaller form factor. Time will tell what the items will be, but at least we know that there are always more Apple products falling from the tree.

The folks at tw.apple.pro say that this photo comes from “deep inside the throat”(Google Translate). So we are guessing they mean a deep throat like source within the company. It’s a 1.2inch x 1.2inch screen which could be the next iPod Shuffle.

The component is marked “Apple,” and there’s no reason to believe it isn’t legit. But just how would you operate a 1-inch touchscreen? What could you really accomplish on a screen so small?

The Samsung TicToc is a motion sensing MP3 player. What’s interesting about this one is that it picks a slow song if shaken slowly and a fast one if it quickly shaken. It has a large button for power on and off, but if you press and hold the button when the player’s upside down the volume will go down. Do the opposite to increase the volume.

It comes in 2GB and 4GB capacities. It may not have a display, but the TicToc has more going on than the iPod Shuffle. Even if it does look girlly. It can play MP3, WMA, OGG and FLAC files for 12 hours before recharging.

One of the new areas at CES this year is the iLounge pavilion where people looking to show off their Apple gear can get booth space. One of the companies that will be showing off its line of new gear is Scosche with several items for the iPod and iPhone.

Among the new wares being showing off at the show will be the new IDR655m headphones with tapLINE II remote and mic. The earphones have11mm drivers and work with the iPhone. The company will be showing off its reviveLITE case that charges the iPhone and has a built-in flash light.

We’ve seen plenty of spy cameras, but this one takes the form of something more commonplace that many of us have clipped to our persons. A fake iPod shuffle. The “Mini MP3 Cam DVR” as it’s called is an old shuffle lookalike with a 1.3-megapixel video camera, a TF slot and a rechargeable battery.

Once you turn it on, this small spy cam begins recording 640 x 480 20fps AVI video or taking JPEG shots. You can retrieve them via USB. No one will suspect that you are spying on them.

Apple announced an updated Shuffle that features new colors for you to choose from and even a special stainless steel version. Pink, green, blue, silver and black specifically. The controls remain on the headphone cord, but according to Apple there are a bunch of manufacturers who will be offering headphones with the buttons, which I know is good news for may of you.

That familiar disembodied voice you’ve come to know and love has another job now as well. It will give you info on your battery life. The prices, like the songs on your shuffle, remain the same. $59 for 2GB and $79 for 4GB.
