The iPod USB Turntable is an MP3 converting device with an iPod dock attached. It allows you to play records at 33 1/3 rpm or 45 rpm and record the music direct to the docked iPod. The dock is compatible with 5th Gen iPods or 2nd Gen Nano’s. The turntable it’s self is a belt driven device with anti-skating control. Also an output is provided allowing you to play your old vinyl records to a stereo system. USB support is also provided allowing you to create MP3’s from your vinyl rather then recording them right on to the iPod.
The iPod USB turntable costs $260.

The Nike+ Amp is a watch from Nike which you use with your Nike+ iPod running kit. The watch allows you to get instant progress on your running distance, time, speed or calories burned.
It also works as a regular watch, with a durable polyurethane strap and LED’s whch tell the time in regular mode or display the iPod Nano’s controls when being used in Nike+ mode.
The watch is reasonably priced too at $80, which I think is good since it can be used as a regular watch too! It’s currently only available in USA, but hopefully it’ll be released in Europe soon.

The iPod generally has a screen just 1 – 2 inches in size. The Meridian iRIS iPod dock claims that it can offer iPod video in full HD at 1080p. The dock costs less then $400 and can connect to a HDTV through HDMI. I am unsure if that is upsized to fit 1080p or if thats playing true 1080p content from the iPod. If the latter is the case then you need to pick up one of the highest capacity iPods around.

If you do not want to fork out cash for an iPod dock then check out the Lego version. Most people will have lego kicking around their home and will be easy enough to make. instructables show you how it is done.
The good thing about a Lego iPod dock is that you can design it any way you want, change colours and basically do what ever you like.
This video shows a brief run down of what the iPod Touch can do with its browsing capabilities over to its nice multi touch screen.
I knew someone was going to do it, and that was iFixit who just took apart an iPod Touch. The series of pictures starts off with comparisons with the iPhone and they the dismantling gets going by removing the back panel, battery, main boards and what ever else is tucked inside the iPod touch. For a full set of images check out iFixit.
The iPod Touch looks great and from what we see, it also acts great too. It does make you curious how much you pay compared to other countries in the world. TechLogg decided to create a list to see who is paying more then others based on a dollar price and the current conversion rate. At the bottom of the list we have South Africa who pay $476.68 currently for their iPod Touch. Check out the full list over at Techlogg to see who comes out on top with the cheapest iPod Touch.

Griffin have created a bunch of new cases for Apples new iPod designs. Cases for each of the iPod models can be found and they do look impressive. The reflect case which is pictured above does look nice. A similar reflect version is also available for the iPod touch. Check out the new selection of iPod goodies over at Griffin.
At Apples Keynote yesterday there were a number of cool announcements about iPods. The first is the iPod shuffle which will be getting a few new colours and will cost the same at $79 for a 1GB version.
The next iPod in the lineup is the iPod Nano which has gone through a bit of a shape shift and now sports a nice wide screen at 2 inches running 320 x 240 pixels. The cost of a new Nano will be $149 for a 4GB model and $199 for an 8GB version. These will be in store this weekend.
The regular iPod is now named the iPod Classic and is available in silver and black (no white). The 80GB version will cost $249 and has 30 hours of audio playback and 5 hours of video from the battery. The beefy 160GB version is beefy in storage, thicker then the 80GB version, but thinner then the old 80GB version and will cost $349. It can hold 40000 songs, has a 40 hour ability when playing audio and 7 hours of video playback on its battery.
The iPod touch is one I am looking forwards to. Its like an iPhone but without the phone. It has Wi-Fi, Safari, Cover flow and is flash based only. It measures at 8mm thick and has either 8GB of flash which runs at $299 or there is a 16GB model running at $399 which isnt too bad. I personally wish the touch had a 160GB HDD in it even if it did make it slightly thicker.
The iPhone is also set to have a price drop which is good news too.
Which one will you be choosing?

Timex have created the Ironman watch which has the ability to control your iPod. It works by using a 2.4GHz dongle attached to the iPod. With the watch you can perform various features including skip, play and pause. Engadget unboxed one recently.
I think the watch actually looks quite impressive and I do hope it will perform well.
