mi Lite iPod skins

Have you ever wondered if your iPod could serve double duty as both a digital audio device and a funky portable strobe light? Me neither. But someone made it happen anyway.

mi Lite, from Blue Box is a protective graphic skin that features tiny sensor switches that make your iPod light up and go blinky-blinky like a Christmas tree when you hold it in just the right spot. There's a nice selection of graphics, although the lights themselves appear to only come in blue. They'll set you back less than $20 and are available for all iPods except the iPod mini and iPod shuffle. The lights are powered by a "replaceable power source," so as not to drain power from your iPod.

What ever will they think of next in the land of gratuitous iPod accessories?

iBeat glow-in-the-dark headphones

ibeat glowing earbudsIf you often iPod in the dark, these are for you. The iBeat "illuminating headphones" work with all iPods (well pretty much anything with a standard mini jack) and come in neon pink, white, blue, orange and green. You can glow steady or pulse to the music - your choice. I can see the club kiddies going wild for these.

I'd buy a pair just for fun, but I am so very annoyed by the obnoxious audio assault I was presented with when I landed on their website (with no way to turn it off), that I have decided not to give them my money.

As Gizmodo points out, these are also perfect for helping iPod muggers aim in the dark.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
