The latest iPod nano from Apple is rather cute, but it still risks getting lost in your pocket/purse. A built-in clip is a good way to fix it on something, but Griffin is planning to go much further, offering Wristlet casing, which is a protective case in the form of a bracelet for the iPod nano. Its functionality is self-evident, as it protects your iPod nano from scratches. Griffin Wristlet will be priced at $ 19.99 and now is available for pre-orders.

Since only one month remains to iPad's launch, such hardware manufacturers as SDI Technologies, Gelaskins Inc., Sanho Corp. and Griffin Technology gear up their production of chargers, sticker covers and other accessories for a new device. And it is not surprising - according to Poper Jaffray & Co, overall sales of iPod and iPhone accessories in 2009 were about $3.7 billion.

But while these companies want to release their products as soon as possible, some other accessory manufacturers are taking a wait-and-see approach. Jonathan von Rentzell, a representative for Blue Microphones commented on this:

"If you're making it for a product, you want to make sure there's a market."

Steve Jobs already showed 2 key accessories for the iPad - a case and a keyboard dock with charging function. Both of them are created by Apple and will be sold separately with iPad.

Griffin has produced a new accessory for the iPhone is capable of transmitting the FM signal. It's called iTrip.

This is one of the first cases of iPhone accessories controlled by an app. iTrip is used in conjunction with a free application called iTrip (AppStore link).

Operation is very simple: connect the Dock accessory, run the iTrip app, click on the "SmartScan" to automatically find the best frequency. Now we can play the music on our iPhone and transmit it to the car radio or home stereo without any problems.

The new iTrip is really well done and is compatible with almost all iPod / iPhone. Costs $50.

This is another free useful application for iPhone and iPod2 from Griffin Technology. It allows users to turn iPhone, iPhone 3G or Pod 2 into a recording device. iTalk's uncomplicated user interface lets you start/stop, choose Good/Better/Best sample rates, and manage the list of your recordings, all with just one finger.

• High-quality handheld recording using your iPhone or 2nd-generation iPod touch
• Easy, convenient user interface and controls
• Drag & drop wireless file transfers to your computer
• User-selectable 11.025 kHz, 22.05 kHz, or 44.10 kHz sample rates

Avaliable for free in AppStore (link).

You can sync recordings using iTalk Sync application that should be installed on Mac or PC.
