iPod Accessories, iPod Accessories Everywhere

Posted by Harry McCracken | Friday, February 03, 2006 8:51 AM PT

Good story at NYTimes.com on the iPod accessory economy--which is now a $1 billion business. It provides some clarifying background on how so many companies are able to turn out so many add-ons so quickly when Apple gives them little or no warning about new iPods.

Mentioned in the article: The TuneBuckle, which is either a work of crazed genius or a terrible idea, or maybe both. (It's a $50 belt whose buckle is an iPod Nano holder...)

if you click on the words 'The TuneBuckle' it directs you to a black one.
