iPod Accessories
I have no first-hand, or even second-hand, experience or knowledge of these products, but a website I came across just now looks like it contains some wicked cool iPod accessories.
Griffin Technology appears to focus exclusively on iPod and Mac hardware accessories, some of which appear to be quite elegant. One example is the PowerMate (shown), a USB accessory that looks like you ripped the volume knob off a high-end stereo amplifier and stuck it on your desk. You can set it up as a volume control or shuttle/jog-dial for video editing.
Another interesting product is the iTrip, an iPod FM transmitter. While you can get the Belkin TuneCast for cheap, the iTrip both looks good and doesn't have any dangly cords to worry about.
Of course, I'm judging these things by their pictures, something you're not supposed to do.

I'm speaking from firsthand experience, as I've bought a bunch of their gear,,, Griffin Technology's product lineup is top notch. (The iTrip lets you choose from ANY station on the dial, not just three like the Tunecast. It installs tiny little MP3 files - one for each station - in the iPod interface as a mechanism to let the user choose which station to broadcast to.) Very elegant, innovative stuff.

I've been using the iTrip for about 6 weeks now. It's excellent.
