XtremeMac have already produced a number of rubbery, silicon cases for the iPod Touch, but if your PMP is more boardroom than teenager’s-bedroom then you may be interested in their latest range. Crafted from padded leather panels, the Verona line consists of a flip-case with integral stand, a sleeve and a belt holster and is available in a choice of colours and finishes.

Tunewear sells a wide variety of cases and accessories for most of Apple’s portable products, but this time it’s a case for the iPod touch. The Icewear case is made of tough silicone and has Tunewear’s patented “rib technology” for a strong grip.
Though the case does not cover the screen, we have all seen in pasts tests that the screen is probably the most rugged part of the entire iPod touch or iPhone. Leaving it unprotected allows for maximum use of the phone while still having the rest of it protected.

If this doesn’t show just how popular the iPod touch jailbreak is, I don’t know what will. Seen in the picture is an iPod touch with iSkin’s model “touch”, and most importantly; installer.app, ApolloIM, and what appears to be finder.
Jailbreaking is catching on amongst users, while I personally think the iPod touch and iPhone are both ridiculously boring without 3rd party apps and definitely have more of a potential selling. The multitouch screen is revolutionary and with games such as “Hockey” from iApp-a-Day, the iPhone and iPod touch’s potential is clearly shown.

Having very few practical skills myself, I’m more than happy to choose from the multitude of aftermarket iPod Touch cases (such as can be found in our own Accessories Store), but if you’re handier with a Dremel then maybe you’d like to emulate Michael Dinsmore’s DIY wooden case. Constructed using scrap plywood and pine, the flip-top sheath has a spring-mounted false-bottom that cushions the iPod from knocks and jolts.

If you’ve been waiting for the right iPod-compatible speaker dock to come along, Cambridge Soundworks may have just the thing for you. Though to be fair, to call the i765 a “speaker dock” is to do it a disservice; with built-in DVD and CD player, FM/AM radio and subwoofer it’s actually squaring up to quite a bit of your existing hifi equipment.

This Bluetooth speaker system is overly reminiscent of the Apple Hi-Fi, but black, with cool sound graphics on the front, and Bluetooth. I have to admit, the black box with red LED graphical EQ is something I am a bit of a sucker for myself.
Does it use some proprietary Bluetooth technology to transfer the audio? Nope, A2DP, which means you, might already have a phone that works with the speakers.

On October 31st XtremeMac introduced a new SportWrap armband for the iPod Touch, and the rest of the iPod Family including the iPhone. The SportWrap comes in a basic black and will not cover up any important controls.
The new design is the result of testing involving workout enthusiasts and product designers, whose goal was to make “The Most Comfortable Armband Ever Made”. The body is made of out of neoprene and has an adjustable strap that is trimmed with a soft and stretchable material. The armband is designed to fit any arm and will not slip off your arm during vigorous use. The face of the iPod Touch is covered with a clear flexible plastic that will allow full access to the touch screen, and the back is protected from moisture by a neoprene backing.

Stick this little device in line between your headphones and your iDevice and you are well on your way to enjoying DAB radio. For those of you that don’t know, DAB radio is a set of digital radio broadcasts that we, here in the US, aren’t lucky enough to get, oh well.
The Robi is brought to you buy Roberts Radio from the UK. Not only does it provide DAB radio, but it can also act as an in-line remote for music being played from your iDevice.

In a dream crushing reality check, it turns out the Apple Store slip up that led some to believe an 80 and 160GB iPod Touch might be coming has been quashed. It never fails, they always take away all our hopes.
The slip up came in the sales page of an iPod Touch case where it said the case fit the 80 and 160 gigabyte iPod Touch models. Clearly they meant to remove the zeros, their bad.
