Targus lock for iPods
Targus, the people who make your laptop safe while you're walking around, have just announced a security lock for Dock connector equipped iPods. No long will you have to fear for your iPod's safety when you get up to get that Mocha Decaf at Starbucks. You can just chain that sucker to the table and you're good to go.This galvanized steel security cable will cost you $29.99, when it is available.

Scott, have you ever heard of proofreading?
I have to agree with Stevens. There is no feeling in the world like walking into Starbucks completely naked. There is a place for you to hang your iPod, but I don't know if you would... LOL!
Who invented this??? Does Targus have too much R&D cash in their hand?
Excellent, this is exactly what I need. I can't think of the number of times I've walked into Starbucks completely naked, and realised that I have nowhere to put my iPod (or at least not without being arrested for an indecency offence). My pocketless iPod woes are over!
:)
Seriously - who could possibly need this, except for shops that need to nail down display items????
Is anyone else curious about how that cable actually attaches to the ipod? I've never had a dock-connected device where I didn't think I could physically rip the dock right out of the bottom of the ipod if I just pulled on it hard enough...
