Using iPod accessories with your iPhone
One of the most surprising things about iPhone is how well it works with the occasional gadget that was designed for iPod instead of iPhone. Today, I took out a box of miscellaneous iPod accessories and tried a few of them out with the iPhone. Some just didn't work. The Belkin TuneCommand A/V, for example, is meant for use with an iPod that supports video out. Others worked right away. The remote control shown here allowed me to control the iPod features of the iPhone including pause/play, track skip, volume control and so forth. The headphone adapter would not, however, fit into the iPhone jack without an adapter.
What iPod accessories have you successfully (or not) used with your iPhone?
Have you heard? Some manufacturers are making wacky iPod products! Seriously, it is true. Would I lie to you? Luckily Businessweek 
Over at 
The live demo of XtremeMac's SportWrap iPod armband stopped a
lot of guys in their tracks at MacWorld. This model, jogging on a treadmill at a busy intersection of the Expo hall,
had quite a crowd around her when I walked by. The only trouble was that she couldn't hear visitors' questions about
the product because she really was listening to her iPod. The demo put me in mind of girl models at car shows in Vegas.
It's a tried and true advertising practice that seems to work just as well here as anywhere else--particularly given the
ratio of men to women here at MacWorld. (You can guess which way that plays.)
