Would you like an Ipod with your accessories?

With all the accessories available for Ipods these days it kind of makes you wonder which is becoming more important. New developments such as the docking station with speakers almost can nowadays can replace the hassle of going out and buying a mini hi-fi. Also a transmitter that can allow for people to listen to music on their Ipods via their radio be it in the car or at home and now there is a component that allows people the listen to the radio on their Ipods so not only only podcasts becoming very popular with services such as 'Talking metal' which is a podcast service that allows users to download an interview which their favourite bands but now the radio is also being brought back into the equation which is something that many thought Ipods would put out of business.

Another very interesting development is the new Nike+Ipod Sport Kit which can give you feedback on your workouts and allows you to track your performance on you computer. Another is a component that allows you to watch videos form your ipod on yout tv. So with the new developments it does pose the question do people still buy Ipods with the mentality of having personla music or whether they buy the product with all the different components and benefits from buying it.

All products mentioned are availible for purchase at http://store.apple.com/us

I have always found the Ipod trend to be of much interest. I just feel that the multitude of accessories are only being created in order to fill potential market niches. I mean, we know that the whole Ipod trend extends beyond only purchasing a convenient mp3 player but also fulfills peoples' needs to fit in with the crowd (to define their identity) and because of this there will always be a market for "nifty" accessories. Soon there will be the Ipod bread slicer accessory..just you wait
