Laser pointer is a good idea for presentations and so forth.

Why not? If you want a portable laser or flashlight on your keychain, this lets it be smaller by using your iPod’s power. A tiny thing, always on hand ready to be attached to your iPod in case you need it.

Sounds good to me.

Nagromme, most of them use watch batteries and last a ridiculously long amount of time even with those. The power supply doesn’t affect the size. Being able to hold it comfortably does. I suppose the ipod serves ok as a handle. It still seems like a pretty stupid add-on though. And 20 bucks for an LED flashlight that doesn’t even have its own power supply when I can get one of a similar size for 5 bucks that does is a little silly.

How do you listen to the iPod while using these?

Oh, you can’t.  Gotcha.

JC, this is a LED Flashlight AND a laser pointer WITH a rechargeable battery for only $20 which is an incredible deal (although, granted the battery did cost me over $300).

In dark situations, I use the iPods backlight.  It’s helped out a lot in times of need.  Like when the power goes out and it’s pitch black and i’m looking for a flashlight.  The iPod’s backlight illuminates the whole room.

Wow, I can’t wait until they release the iBrush.  I hate moving my hand to brush my teeth.

I use the backlight as a flashlight - bright enough for me when I’m stumbling around in the dark, listening to tunes, but whatever trips your trigger….. or in my case, whatever lights my cigar….

Talking about griffin. What ever happened to the Radio Shark? I keep emailing them and they keep saying “it will ship in a couple of weeks”. Well a couple of weeks pass and nothing ships.

This might have a use as a battery conditioner, to fully dischage the iPod’s battery.

There are enough useless cases. So its about time they developed somthing for us to tick people off with.

Our landlady refuses to put a light outside the door or in the vestibule (light bulbs use electricity, she tells me). It’s dark as a crypt when I get home—can’t see my keys, can’t see the lock, DARK! I keep saying I need to get one of those keychain lights but always forget. I do always have my ipod on me.

So for me, this gadget might actually be the most useful thing I own when I get home at night.

This is interesting, but ultimately frivolous…

Wonder how much it will drain the already-debated battery life…
