If you're planning to buy an expensive piece of music kit now or in the sales, make sure you protect your investment.
Apple's iPod quickly won over a legion of devoted music fans this year by stuffing up to 40GB of music, that's 10,000 songs, into one package you can take anywhere. But can you love your iPod too much?
If you're taking your music Mac with you when you go skiing you already know the answer. But fear not, the company which brought you the single-handed keyboard, Matias, has come up with the answer to your winter sports IT dilemma. Protect the one you love from bumps, scrapes and avalanches with light aluminium iPod armour.
The silver case cushions the device and helps it run cooler than it would lying flat on your desk. The iPod Armour costs USD49.95 from Halfkeyboard.com.
