Monster has announced the launch of three new iPod-related products — the Wireless Audio Bridge, the iSlimCharger for iPod shuffle, and the iCarCharger 200. The Monster Wireless Audio Bridge for iPod is a two-piece wireless audio transmission system that uses 2.4 GHz technology to connect the iPod with an audio bridge that is hooked into a home audio system. It features a compact transmitter with a 30-ft range, and will sell for $100 when it ships in mid-October. The iSlimCharger for iPod shuffle is a compact charging accessory that allows the shuffle, with charger attached, to be plugged directly into a USB port. It features 24k gold contacts, a rugged housing, and will be priced at $15 when it becomes available at the beginning of September. The Monster iCarCharger 200 is an in-car iPod charger that features a hardwired minijack cable for better audio quality. It will retail for $60 when it ships in mid October.
