Two new bits of Mac hardware from Griffin—the AirPort Express stand and the SmartDeck. The former is a plastic bit designed to prop up Apple's mini Wi-Fi access point, ostensibly to give it better range. An additional light makes it easier to tell if someone is connected to the Airport, as well. Strange, but only $25, so we'll let it slide.

The SmartDeck is an iPod adapter that uses a cassette deck as the interface, pumping sound into the car, and letting users fast-forward and reverse through songs on their iPod just by using the car's cassette controls. Even if it isn't a totally new concept, it's still pretty cool (and still pretty $25).
