Awesome Ipod

Atila Rossito’s LOP concept is a 21st century version of the disco ball: it not only serves as a party-sized iPod speaker and dock, but streams movies and images along its surface.

I’ve got the whole 8-bit world in my hands: Craig Robinson’s famous Minipops are now available on the iPhone/iPod Touch, with 1,000 pixel people and a Guess Who? pop-quiz mode.

It’s not the first controller-style case we’ve seen, but the iPDA iHandstick is easily the cheapest at $12; it’s a dual-grip rubber gamepad for your iPhone 3G/3GS or iPod Touch 2G/3G.

Mirror’s Edge lands on the iPhone/iPod Touch January 2010; it’ll feature Canabalt-style gameplay with 14 3D levels, dynamic camera angles, and running, sliding, and leaping.

Incase updates its Combo Charger with an extra USB port, allowing you to charge two iPhone/iPods simultaneously; it continues to offer both a 12V car adapter and flip-out wall socket.

Ravensword isn’t perfect (no skill trees), but it shines as an iPhone/iPod Touch RPG with nearly 50 characters, an open world, and plenty of side quests; not bad for a two-man team.

Similar to the Steadicams used in Hollywood, the iSteady Shot uses a two-axis gimbal to reduce camera shake, resulting in ultra-smooth iPhone and Nano movies; demo movie here.

We liked the high-end look of Vers’ wood cases, but their new Shellcases solve a huge UI issue: these open-faced cases allow you to use the touchscreen of your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Available for iPhone, Touch, or Nano: for the price of a regular case, idox’s Traveler Series not only offers hardshell protection, but doubles as a stand with rubber feet for stability.

Its monolithic stature almost demands you play Also sprach Zarathustra on repeat: the Wall of Sound is a gigantic 225 lb. iPod dock that just happens to also be a 125 watt speaker.

If you’ve got an iPhone or iPod, XM’s SkyDock brings satellite radio to your car with a tuner and FM transmitter; it’s powered by a cig adapter and must be wired to a roof-mounted antenna.

Due out Spring 2010, the ReNu is an eco-friendly three-fer: the modular solar panel can power a Regen-designed iPod/iPhone dock, a speaker dock, or even an LED desk lamp.

We prefer the looks of the first Armband, but Incase’s new Sports Armband Pro “sports” a velcro tab for corralling rowdy stray headphone cords; it’ll work with 4th and 5th gen iPod nanos.

Rock while you roll with a Bicycle iPod Speaker: it’ll dock your iPod inside a waterproof case that clamps to your bike frame and is controlled via a handlebar-mounted remote control.

Frontgate’s 42″ tall iPod Tower Speaker towers over puny docks; it features two 1″ tweeters, two 3″ midrange speakers and a 6.5″ subwoofer and is topped with an LCD touch screen.

Made out of solid wood and bamboo with a UV and moisture-resistant clear-coat, Vers’ iPhone/iPod cases obscure most of the screen but are easily removed with a quick eject detail.
