Your Product + iPod = Instant Media Attention
byI thought I had seen just about everything that a person could plug their ipod into but I think with the Levi Strauss announcement of iPod jeans, the shark has officially been jumped. I’m not sure about the rest of the world but I’ve had iPod enabled jeans since the day I got my second generation iPod. My front pocket has worked as an iPod dock since day one, so unless the Levi jeans can charge my iPod as I walk I’d have to say this is the least useful iPod accessory ever. It sure got a lot of press earlier this week at Macworld though.
The most expensive iPod accessory ever is likely to be the new Chrysler you buy in 2006, for $175 (plus price of car) you can install the iPod Integration Kit. For those of you that bought a Chrysler this year it the kit can be retrofit to some 2005 models. I don’t often use my iPod in the car unless I’m travelling long distances, partly because I don’t like the mess of cables I have to deal with so this appeals to me a little bit. Unfortunately I have no plans to buy a Chrysler.
