Burst Suing Apple
There's too much detail here, patent numbers, claims and counter claims etc. But if you're interested, Game Shout has an interesting article about the possible saga that could hit the media in a bigger way than it already has.
Yo Yo Pop Cable Winder

I get fed up to the back teeth of my headphone wires! They do my fuit-cake in! So I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a Yo Yo Pop Cable Winder (who thought of that name. Yes Mr Customer services person, I'd like a yo yo pop cable winder please. Agent: You what?)
For £6.99 (or thereabouts) you can have a little device that sticks to the back of your MP3 player and stops the cable getting in the way.
MP3 Rating: 5/10
Advantages: Stops your cables getting snagged
Disadvantages: Expensive
Buy from: iPodWorld - £6.99

iRon - Travel MP3 Player

We're seriously worried about the product development and marketing departments in this country! Who'd have thought of a travel iRon / MP3 player?
What makes this even more humorous is that the iron is powered by the iPod's battery and the steam that it emits is controlled by the music you're listening too. I need a new iron, saying that, my girlfriend needs a new iron, but I'd get a cheap one if I need one for my travels. But that's just me.
iPopBra - MP3 Player Bra
Keeping your iPod secure when you're out won't be much of a problem with the iPop Bra. We're a bit worried about the perception of women "pleasuring themselves" as the controls are woven int the fabric - Eek! The Circle Line on a Monday morning won't be the same again! You can get the MP3 Bra from Pop Xpress.You are on the page about: MP3 Players: 04/23/2006 - 04/29/2006. Use this when you email us.
