Saffire has debuted three new accessories for the iPod, including speakers, cases, and a Bluetooth accessory. Pricing and availability information for the new accessories was not available.

The BT 3008 Bluetooth transmitter for iPod allows users to pair both Bluetooth headphones and cell phones to the iPod making wireless headphones a reality and adding a tone to alert listeners of incoming calls. The BT 3008 is compatible with all 4G iPods.
The Protective Skin Sleeve for iPod is a silicone case designed for the new iPod 5G. Features include cutouts for the screen, controls, headphone jack, and dock connector, a built-in belt clip, plus Dissipation Pores that help the iPod run cooler.

1. I’d love to know pricing for the speaker system and to see a review. 2. Why would they make a bluetooth transmitter now that’s not 5G compatible, and why would would you want the high quality of bluetooth 2 audio to come out of the headphone port rather than the dock/line out anyway?
