You Know There Are Too Many iPod Accessories When…

Case Logic MP3 kit holder


... you need another accessory - in this case a pouch from Case Logic - in which to keep all of them! This MP3 Kit was actually a god send. For those of you who really care, this is what my iPod kit currently contains:

Upper Left Side: USB connector cum AV cable (composite)
Lower Left Side: AC adapter plus two 2-pin connectors (one round & one flat)
Upper Right Side Left: Apple iPod Touch (8 GB), protective skin, cleaning cloth
Upper Right Side Right: Various jacks including audio splitter, airplane seat 2-pin connector, thin-to-fat audio jack convertor etc.
Lower Right Side: A pair of in-ear headphones

I admit, I'm a bit of an organisation freak, but you have to admit this case is pretty nifty. In fact I dare say it NEARLY justifies the outrageously inflated price that Case Logic slaps on its products.

Anyway, lest I be accused of being an iPod fanboy again, do see this very nice explanation of why iPods don't support Bluetooth. One-line summary: "Apple wants to maintain a stranglehold over the accessory universe!"

  2. Yes I completely agree with the reason given by popularmechanics on why iPods don’t have bluetooth.

    I guess the reason for the absence of GPRS will be that it wants iPod to always sync using iTunes which in turn will make people buy DRM music …

    Damn Apple!

  3. even the nano doesnt supports camera connector…

    Nike+iPod Sport Kit, Radio Remote , iPod Hi-Fi ,USB Travel Dock for iPod shuffle,NavDock Home Media Center with On-TV Navigation for iPod lets you navigate your iPod through an on-TV menu to play videos, photos and music on a connected television. hmmm but no space in ur kit bag i suppose

    not essential for common man but still :-)
