iPod
Skin from Speck Products I am usually a big fan of iSkin
products, but for rubberized iPod sheaths my nod goes to the iPod
Skin from Speck Products. It’s not as sticky as the iSkin so it goes in
your pocket with less of a fight and the flip out bottom on the 3G model
allows for access to the docking port without stretching or disfiguring
the Skin. The cut-out on the top of the sheath also allows you to add
an iTrip with very little modification to the iPod Skin.

iTrip FM Transmitter for iPod Anything that makes the world a
little more cordless is a good thing. 2 or more cables left beside each
other without supervision will eventually braidóit’s a fact. It is also
a fact that, in many parts of the world, it is illegal or al least dangerous
to drive while listening to music on headphones, so being able to transmit
your iPod music over an FM signal to your car radio is terrific. The good
news and bad news is that the transmitter isn’t that powerful: bad because
you need to find just the right place to put your iPod while it transmits
but good because, most likely, the guy waiting for the light to turn green
in the lane beside you won’t be listening to your tunes on his radio.

ProTouch PB Finally, the people at iSkin have released a keyboard
protector for the PowerBook layout. What? You thought the “PB” stood for
“peanut butter”? Well, it might. Since the ProTouch keyboard protector
will stand between your keyboard and your sticky, greasy “PB&J” fingers
and protecting the fragile keys from subatomic
toasticles. I bought this for my
roommate, CJ.

The
Official eBay Bible by Jim Griff Griffith (not exactly inkeeping
with WDW’s mobile theme) I had already bought a copy of this book
for myself to find out how I might scuttle the parts of my now defunct
iBook on the World’s Online Marketplace. But as I read through it, I kept
thinking to myself, “George needs to read this.” George
is a SCUBA diver and likes to collect bottles that he find on his
dives. He’s always wondered what it would take to sell a few of these
items or at the very least find out what they’d go for. This book goes
into all of that and more. If you’re an eBay addict or are thinking of
cultivating an addiction, this book will have you freebasing Beanie
Babies in no time.
