Q:
Can you give me the 411 on some of the latest iPod accessories? My granddaughter's
birthday is coming up and I'd like to get her something that she can use
along with her iPod. Any tips would be wonderful. Thanks!
A:
Not a problem! This was actually a pretty enjoyable question to find the
answer to. I don't have an iPod of my own, but lately, I've been thinking
more and more about getting one and after seeing all of the extras you
can get for them, my interest skyrocketed. So, if you have an iPod or
if you know someone else who does (like the person who asked this question),
this tip will surely put you on the right track to upgrading your iPod
to be all it can be. Let's get started!
iPod Hi-Fi:
I thought we would start with the newest iPod accessory on the market
today. It's called iPod Hi-Fi and it's Apple's version of a stereo. It
is a complete sound system that works with your iPod to give out the richest
and most compact sound you've ever heard. If you want to use your iPod
to fill a whole room with the music you have, this is the right accessory
for you. Like I said before, it's just like a stereo, but with a little
more oomph. iPod Hi-Fi comes with a remote control and it also has an
integrated docking station where your iPod can sit while you listen to
your tunes. Now, while this is a very cool feature, it also comes with
a price (as I'm sure you already guessed). These start out at $349.00,
so you might want to start saving!
Universal
Dock: Are you always losing your iPod? If it were me, I would
always forget whether I left it in my car or in the bedroom, etc. So,
if you often have that problem as well, this universal dock may be the
best thing for you. It's just a little docking station where your iPod
can sit and relax. Along with that, it comes with a hookup for your computer,
so you can charge your iPod and sync new songs all at the same time. Plus,
it can be hooked up to your stereo or speakers so you can listen to your
music out loud. This one works for all iPod models and it's great for
keeping your iPod in one place, along with some other very cool features.
Apple Remote:
Have you been yearning for a remote control for your iPod? Well, your
wishes have been answered, because that's exactly what this is. With this
remote, you can control your music from across a room. It works just like
a TV remote and if you have a docking station, you can even hook your
iPod up to a stereo, etc. and use the remote from there. With the Apple
remote, you'll have control over your music, right at your fingertips!
Leather Case:
I'm sure you've seen these before, but I thought I would mention
them anyway. This case is perfect for keeping your iPod protected. It
comes with a soft interior, so your iPod will have a nice place to stay
and you won't ever have to worry about scratches or anything like that.
It also has a built in ribbon that you can pull for an easy way to get
your iPod in and out of the case. It's ingenious!
Socks: This
is another great way to keep your iPod safe and it also adds a little
decoration. These are like real knit socks and your iPod just slides down
into them. They fit all the iPod models (except the shuffle) and it's
just a fun way to keep your iPod protected. The socks come in six different
colors as well, including green, purple, gray, blue, orange and pink.
Those are just some
of the more interesting accessories I was able to find. Of course, there
are several more available, but if I told you about all of them, we all
would get a little bored! All of the above mentioned items can be found
on Apple's Web site and you can of course, order them online if you'd
like.
Now, we here at WorldStart
actually have some pretty cool iPod accessories in our stock as well.
We have earphones, a charger with a dock connector and even a wireless
iPod remote. Along with those, we have a couple software programs that
will accent any iPod player very nicely as well. You can purchase any
of those items from our Web site right here.
Either way you look
at it, iPods are very cool devices and it makes perfect sense to get all
out of them that you can. The accessories listed in this tip can definitely
help you do that, so be sure to check them out today!
