With our two iPod shuffle reviews now out of the way, I’m now ready to turn our attention to an absolutely insane collection of items awaiting review: headphones, car accessories, cases, battery packs, wireless adapters, and so on. A few highlights from the pack, in case you missed them on the main iLounge page during Macworld San Francisco:
Miyavix Kimono cases (bottom right) for iPod 4G and mini.
Power Support’s 3D Wheel Film (bottom left) for iPod 4G and mini, and iSkin’s similar Click Wheel protectors for iPod 4G (inside cases, left center)
Griffin’s Lapel Mic (center) for use with iTalk.
AirPlay FM transmitter (bottom center) for iPod 3G/4G/mini.
Solio solar charger (top right) for iPod 3G/4G/mini.
TEN Technology NaviPlay (top center) for iPod 3G/4G/mini/photo.
Speck ToughSkin for iPod 4G.
And of course, there’s a lot more. Way, way more, actually. We may have to start taking votes on what people want to see reviewed first.
By the way, the Mac mini is also on that list someplace. Wow.

I’ll cast a vote for reveiwing WIRELESS REMOTES of all kinds.
AirClick, fancy Bluetooth solutions, remotes bundled with speakers (Klipsch?), RF, infrared, clap-on, clap-off… you name it!
Even RemoteRemote 2—it’s been around a while and hasn’t been reviewed.
A wireless remote is what’s missing to make my iPod a full member of my home stereo system.
(And I have my eye on AirClick… IF they start to sell a dual bundle with USB control of computers. I’d rather not buy two remotes when I need one.)

They are planning a dual bundle, one USB one iPod together with one remote. Reasonable price too, like $49?
We need to get some of those remotes, and quick. We’re as anxious as you. As a heads up, Ten’s new ones are pretty amazing. All sorts of cool new features. But they’re BIG.
