PodStyle is a new anodized aluminum display/frame for third- and fourth-generation iPods (20GB, 40GB or 60GB). Available in red, blue, silver or black, the $29 stand features access to all ports and buttons, allowing you to charge and use your iPod while mounted in PodStyle. “The beautiful styling and classic design of the PodStyle complements any desktop, counter, or existing stereo setup. Choose from four stylish colors to complement your existing rooms décor. Made of strong aluminum with a secure pocket lined with padding to avoid scratches—PodStyle positions the iPod at a perfect height and angle for optimal screen visibility.”

these are really sexy, and i really want to get a silver or red one
also, a pretty good price considering that they are metal…

Now these fit the Apple styling. Almost like a picture frame, and imaging an iPod Photo scrolling through pictures in that. Good work.

Well, I guess they just copied from us:

I’d say podboard has been infringed. Do you have a corporate lawyer?

Yes, thats a copy; a dead nuts copy.

yeah, its a copy, but the styling isn’t patentable… only the features are… if it wasn’t protected by a patent or the equivilant, than I’d say your S.O.L. For what its worth, I like the this one better. I don’t care for the rivets in the swiss ones.

Not that it isn’t funtional, but is it really worth the Adjectives ‘sexy’ and ‘BEAUTIFUL’

Dude, what a rip from the podboard folks.

WOW, it seems like it’s an upgrade from PodBoard, making refined changes to the leg and iPod support. There should be a neon light or some light support around the cutout.
Does anyone know if the metal body interupts signal transfers from the iTrip? Metal is known to shield signals!
