itrip nanoWhat fun would an iPod be without the portability? You like to take it in the car, to the gym, your friends house, etc. In-car hardwired solutions sound fabulous, but they don't offer the ability to broadcast your iPod to any FM stereo.

The iTrip fit on top of the iPod and looked very cool.

Their solution is the iTrip Nano: A sleek FM transmitter that matches your iPod. READ MORE »

Are you interested in the Nike+iPod kit for your iPod Nano, but don't want to run with Nike+ shoes? Fortunately, Marware has developed an inexpensive and easy alternative called the Sportsuit Sensor +. sportsuit sensor plus

It's a small neoprene and rubber pouch that allows you to attach the Nike sensor to your favorite running shoes of any brand. This is a fantastic solution for people who don't want to buy the special Nike shoes, for whatever reason.

We tested the Sportsuit Relay for iPod Nano, a combo solution consisting of Marware's patented wrist/armband case and the Sportsuit Sensor + case. The lightweight armband is made of a neoprene and rubber and comes with a velcro attachable extension. The extension can be attached if you have a thick wrist or if you want to wrap it around your upper arm. The extension is long enough that it should accommodate most male and female body types.

You've purchased the most beautiful portable music device. Now what? You look in the box and notice the skimpy quick start guide that comes with your iPod.
