Decent audio dock components (ones that don't cost a fortune, but produce a good sound) for iPod (only iPod...correction posted) are pretty common now, but finding one that looks totally cool doing it is always a bonus. This year, I checked out quite a few audio-related components for iPhone, and iPod (starting  back in January at CES). The iCrystal is one of my favorites in this category of dock for iPod. It plays music, it charges, and it looks totally awesome in the process...

Coby has shown what they can do for your music again.

Are you looking for something different? Check out Proporta’s new Shine Case for Apple iPhone 4. It has a high gloss patent leather exterior and is available in red, blue and black. Inside, a mirror is tucked in a stylish, color-coordinated print lining. The case closes with an elastic strap. If you like high-gloss leather, you'll love this case.

Being in the technology industry, it takes a lot to wow this plethora of geekdom. It has happened only twice in recent memory. The first was when I bought my beloved iPod Touch and the second was when I was introduced to the Pandigital Novel eReader. Well a 3^rdproduct has now completed this trifecta of infinite “wicked awesomeness”, and that is; The Magellan Premium Car Kit for the iPhone 4, 3G and 3GS as well as the iPod Touch 2g and 3g.

Clickfree is the developer of what quite possibly could be the easiest and most fool proof back up device or rather family of devices out there.

The Clickfree Transformer for iPod is a great product that will revolutionize the back up industry, if it already hasn't.

Out of the box, it was incredibly easy to use. There are two simple instructions that will allow you to start using it.

1.Take it out of the box
2.Plug it in
 

It seems like this may be patronizing the novice, but it is really that simple. Once you plug it in, it immediately brings up the software that comes with it.

Here is a neat little gadget to check out.  No matter what kind of handheld device or phone you may have, I think this will interest you, as it is not just limited to iDevices. iCarpus has recently introduced a stand / holder for mobile devices.

It is packaged in a small plastic & cardboard sleeve. The holder is made of plastic (white) and has non slip edges (grey).

The iHolder is sweet! I've been using my iPad with my Bluetooth keyboard, but I was having trouble getting my iPad in a position that was easy to use. Now, with iHolder, I can set the iPad so it looks and acts like a computer screen!

I have anticipated this day for quite some time.  Twelve South, the makers of iconic products for the Mac and more recently the iPad, have finally released the BookBook case.  The BookBook has been available for Macbook's for some time and they are gorgeous real leather, black, brown and red works of art that you store your laptop in.  When closed, they look just like classic novels.
