Ignore the attractive hand for a moment, and focus on the piece of kit the faceless chap is clutching proudly there – it’s the brand spankin’ new RF remote for iPods. Apparently Scosche, the creators of yet another iPod accessory are asking their consumers ‘where do you take your music?’ The happy little consumers responded by claiming to use them in the home, car, and bizarrely, during extreme sports. My own iPod is quivering at the thought. Scosche have released several remotes prior to the launch of this ‘freestyle’ line, updating it with an ‘unprecedented’ 150 feet of wireless range, and the ability to act like the Invisible Man and travel through walls. The IPNRFC can join your copious collection of iPod skins and fuzzy cases for just $69.95. Bet you can’t wait to be able to skip through ‘Fastlove’ when listening to George (if only he batted for my team) Michael’s ‘Twenty Five’ whilst on the john!

You only have to look at the photos of the Shiny Media Christmas party held at Lucky Voice in London to see just how much we get into our karaoke, so with news today that Emerson have launched a new microphone converter to work with DVDs and iPods made us all a tad bit overexcited. Priced at just $29.95, you can connect the converter to any DVD player or video-capable MP3 player – for instance iPods, allowing your own crooning to blend with whatever tunes you have clogging up your iPod. You can also pick up a ‘Rockin’ Party’ 16 song DVD to sing along to if you are one of the fortunate unfortunate souls who haven’t yet succombed to Steve Jobs’s persuasive ways.
