Want another way to obtain "mileage" for your iPod? How about taking a note? iTalk (also by Griffin) will turn your portable music player into a digital voice recorder with thousands of hours of recording time. Now you can get rid another peice of equipment that is lying around, and organize your electronics into one little compartment/pod.Protect what you Love!

These things do get misplaced or forgotten at airports, taxis, and bars.Here are ways to protect your iPod: you can have it engraved (Apple offers this service for free); track it (Inspice’s SmartProtect can recover stolen electronic devices; cloak it (through PodLock, retails for $40.00).
