Ultimate iPod accessories
By Charles Covey-Brandt, Troy Dreier, and Ben Patterson, CNET.com on 10 August 2004
With the Apple iPod continuing to turn heads and win consumers' hearts, we figured it was the perfect time to recommend a few sidekicks for the most popular MP3 player in the world.
Whether you're looking to transform the iPod into a fully functional stereo or just want to wrap it in a cool, scratch-resistant casing, you'll find the answer here. We have one caveat: Some of these accessories can be used with only a specific version of the iPod, as indicated by the icons for the old iPod, the third- and fourth-generation iPods, the iPod Mini, and the colour-screen iPod.
Note: One iPod accessory everyone should have is the latest firmware, which adds features and potentially fixes bugs. It's free and easy to upgrade your player.
Defend your treasured musical pal from damage with one of these cases.
Inputs
These add-ons let you control the iPod remotely and record voice memos, and they'll help the iPod play nicely with your digital camera.
Outputs
You bought the best MP3 player around, so you might as well outfit it with top-notch headphones, speakers, and an FM transmitter for car/home playback.
Miscellaneous
The iPod's main Achilles' heel is its battery life, but you can extend it significantly by using one of the accessories listed here.

"You bought the best MP3 player around". I don't think so. You bought "the one that the crowd buys". The best MP3 player around is the Iriver H320. Most of the accessories discussed in this article aren't necessary, cos they're all included...!
