This is the second time that Oakley has made a product that synergies with Apple.  The first were sunglasses that worked in conjunction with the iBall.

Since everybody knows Steve Jobs pumps out super sweet products like the iPhone, iPod, and iRobot, we don’t usually cover many of the "i" products.  However, since Oakley doesn’t usually manufacture phone cases, we thought this needed some special attention.

The Oakley iPhone case features a durable sure-grip design crafted from Unobtainium rubber.  The open face provides full screen access while also providing protection via the slight rubber lip that raps around the front edge.  Don’t worry, you’ll still have full access to all cord connections.

*Even with all that protection, there’s still a 0.01% chance your iPhone will get pregnant (and by pregnant I mean broken), so drink responsibly.

Do you want to see the world with a different view?  How about MyVu?

With three models starting at $100, MyVu personal media viewers are the perfect lightweight solutions for watching video from your ipod or other portable media device.  Besides making you look like a complete toolbag, you’ll also find that the MyVu glasses provide a quality 640×480 resolution screen that appears regressed opposed to millimeters from your eye balls.  The picture appears in both lenses, but translates to one image in your brain; I’m not really sure if that’s true for people with wondering eyes. 
The other good thing about the Solo and Crystal MyVu glasses (opposed to the shades) are that you can still see what’s going on around you, if you wanted you could walk down the street while watching a video, because Americans don’t watch enough already. Take the demo and see what MyVu is like.

iSing in the shower.

Did you know that 60% of people self-explore their carnal instincts in the shower, the other 40% merely sing.  Do you know what they sing?* 

The iSing is a fogless mirror with built-in waterproof radio and speakers.  The unit comes with a wireless FM module so that you can remotely tune into your ipod, radio, etc.  The speakers fold-in to cover the mirror/radio when it’s not being used.  This is an excellent shaving mirror for men, it even has a built in light. 

*Of course you don’t know what the 40% sing, you’re one of the 60%!

[Get It $150]

If you workout at a gym you’ll notice about 19 out of 20 people with headphones in their ears; about the same if you visit a high school classroom.  But what about the people that get their workouts in the water?  Finis, a worldwide leader in technical swimming development decided that it was time swimmers had some tunes to goad them on.  The SwiMP3v2 are waterproof headphones with a built-in MP3 player that attach to your goggles.  The sound quality is surprisingly good and the volume get’s louder than I would ever need it to be. 
If you’re a surfer, you might want to check out the SwiMP3-Surf; it’s a good looking pair of headphones.

I don’t think I’ve ever used my ipod headphones without having to de-tangle them first; until I met my new friend Tetran.  Tetran is a small spiky ball like character that conveniently stores earbud style headphones to prevent tangles; he also makes a nice stress reliever. 

Tetrans tend to get all wrapped up in your music, but they’re good friends and good listeners.  The rubbery spikes prevent them from running away with your headphones, while the mouth provides a safe haven for your earbuds.  They come in Pink, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Luminous Green (glows in the dark).  There’s even a ball bearing style chain so they can hang out while you do your thing.

One ring to rule them all!  (all of your Apple devices that is)

This is the coolest concept I’ve seen in while.  If the only plan was to have the apple symbol light up I would still buy it.  Now before you Mac-o-holics start scouring the web for a place to buy this gem, I should make it very clear that the iRing is not an actual item (hence the “Visionary” category of this post), but rather a 3D design image created by Victor Soto.

If an engineering team does jump on board with the iRing, the plan is to include a Bluetooth touch sensitive “function strip” for iPod (or iPhone) volume and playback control. Personally, I think an actual dial along the center of the ring might be more practical than touch-screen technology on a piece of jewelry for your hand, it seems less likely to inadvertently change songs or blow out your eardrums; of course, if anyone can get it done, it’s Steve “Superman” Jobs.

Have you ever had a five way with a Rockstar?

I’m fairly confident that I’ll never need to aurally hook up five people at once via headphone, but I’m equally confident that the iPod generation is already salivating over the prospect of getting Belkin Rockstars in their stockings this Christmas. 
Of course, you don’t need to use all five ports of the Belkin Rockstar.  This headphone hub comes in handy when you’re traveling with one or two other people that all want to hook into the same travel DVD player, iPod, or other audio device. What’s more, is that all the ports can be toggled between input or output functionality, so you can plug in multiple music players at the same time,  which might be handy if you use the hub as a multi switch for a stereo or speaker set-up.

The iPod Hoodie is perfect for sketchy mo-foe’s loitering around the playground, or anyone else that wants to draw attention to the fact that they’re trying to keep a low profile.  I would also recommend this case to anyone that doesn’t want to look like a complete tool bag with their iPod strapped to their upper bicep.
If you don’t have yourself an iPod yet, you really need to get with the program; that old music player just doesn’t cut it in 2008, and neither do those short-shorts; I don’t care if they’re more comfortable to run in. 

*Please note: we do condone and even encourage the use of short shorts by certain woman.

 
When you are ready to get serious sound from your iPod, you drop 600 bones and pick up this 25 inch long, 16 lb oblong shaped master of high fidelity stereophonic sound!  The B&W Zeppelin inherits technology and some components from B&W’s obscenely expensive Reference 800 series speakers, and was shaped and sized for perfect, powerful & smooth sound dispersion.

The Zeppelin boasts two 1″ Aluminum dome tweeters, two 3.5″ glass-fiber midrange cones, and a 50W ported 5″ subwoofer.  This oddly shaped orb will change the way you look at you iPod.
