World's Most Expensive iPod Shuffle Goes Under Hammer for Charity

Well, it seems there's unnecessary Swarovski bling, and then there's a $40,000 solid 18 karat white and pink gold iPod shuffle. With 430 diamonds, no less. Personally, I can't stand blinged-up gadgets, diamonds or no, but at least this one might do some good: the iDiamond is really going under the hammer at a charity auction in London. That's just the estimated price for this one-off we alerted you to before, by the way; it might go higher. [Yahoo news]

Dealzmodo: Free iPod Shuffle With 32GB iPod Touch

The Venn Diagram of people who really want a 32GB iPod touch and people who really want a 1GB iPod shuffle looks less like 2/5 of the Olympic Rings and more like an eight-year-old's crayon drawing of a pair of boobs, but if you're going to buy a touch, why not get a free shuffle to go along with it?

Apple Patents Show Shuffle-Esque Remote Control, Other Goodies

Apple has just walked home with six new patents, one of which details an iPod shuffle-like remote control. The image may not tell us much, but a reverse side clip is clearly visible, as is some form of circular control, which could be a scroll wheel or four way control pad. The iPhone comes with a basic in-line remote; could this be a more sophisticated offering? The other four patents described the following. Update: These products do not seem to be bringing anything new. The lanyard looks to be an iPod nano peripheral; both iPod shuffle iterations indicate the current model, and the remote has a striking similarity to the current iPod remote control, with integrated FM radio. The image technology may still be a note worthy patent acquisition. More »

Mini Speaker Add-On Recycles Your iPod Shuffle Box

Plug this tiny stereo speaker system into your iPod shuffle's plastic box, and you get a mini boom box plus the satisfaction of using something that you'd normally have thrown away. This (slightly) eco-friendly system from Bird Electron also fits inside a first- or second-gen iPod nano box and costs just $40. [Geek Alerts]

U-Connect Adapter Gives the Shuffle a Piece of that Sweet Docking Action

Because of its small size, the shuffle generally gets left out in the cold when it comes to docking with iPod accessories. Meanwhile, the big boys are docking with every cheap gadget and speaker accessory in sight. The folks at FastMac believe that it is high time the shuffle became a woman. Thanks to the U-Connect, shuffle owners can now connect their player to virtually any iPod dock accessory. It can even charge the device and perform data transfers. Available for $15.95.

John Harrington-Designed iPod shuffle

It may be more tasteful thanthis declaration of twuntiness, but Brighton, UK, jeweler John Harrington's iPod shuffle still makes me uneasy. It's laser-etched with five titchy diamonds and it will cost you over $600. So, let's get this right: seven-and-a-half times more expensive than the real deal? Yet another exercise in customized iPointlessness. [John Harrington via Born Rich]

iPod Shuffle Wrist Strap

If the clip on the iPod Shuffle isn't secure enough to keep the player on your person when you engage in the spastic movements you call jogging, take a look at this iPod Shuffle Wristband. It comes in blue, black, green, frost white, pink and purple, and secures the iPod Shuffle to your wrist in a way that only a $9.99 piece of rubbery plastic can. [USBFever via Shiny Shiny]

Diamond-Encrusted iPod shuffle Takes 'Fool and His Money' Prize

We're trying to understand why someone would buy this diamond-spangled solid gold iPod shuffle, which wins the prize for gaudiest second-rate music player. This one even outdoes that 18-karat solid gold iPod shuffle we pointed out to you last month, with this one tipping the more-money-than-brains pricetag scale of $20,000 compared with that solid gold shuffle's $19,343 price.

Arriva iPod Shuffle Headphones Make us Laugh, Cry a Little

Could these possibly be the worst headphones ever made for the iPod shuffle? Yes, yes they could. Instead of making them something a normal person would wear, Arriva's gone and made them "wireless," in the sense that they have a built-in iPod shuffle dock and hangs the player off the back of your head. Sure, it's somewhat convenient to have the whole contraption in one device, but we're not sure that even Urkel would care for something as goofy as this. [Arriva via Crave via Crunchgear]

18k Solid Gold iPod shuffle Signals Downfall of the Civilized World

Normally we skip over these bullshit gold-plated gadgets, but it turns out this 18-karat iPod shuffle isn't gold plated at all, but it's solid 18-karat gold. Its picture was so pretty we couldn't resist, even when we first thought it was 18k gold plated. We would've been even more impressed if it were solid 24-karat gold, but we'll just have to settle for 18k. There's just something strangely appealing about the irony and incongruity of the cheapest iPod made of a solid hunk of the most elegant of metals. It's just so, uh, inappropriate. How much does it cost? More »

Corega iPod Dock, a Micro Boombox for shuffle

The iPod shuffle doesn't have to feel left out of the iPod dock derby any more, because now it has its own ultra-portable speaker system from Corega Japan that matches up perfectly with the shuffle's five krazy kolors. The laws of physics might keep this microdock from sounding genuinely kick-ass, but its claimed 200Hz-16kHz frequency response could offer just enough oomph to share a podcast with a friend or two.

Princeton Cuby gives the iPod Shuffle a Voice

Measuring 49 x 49x 59 mm and weighing 95 grams, it delivers sound from its 0.5W x 2Ch speakers and you can get it for $33 in Japan. See it undressed below. More »

Monster iFreePlay Headphones Turn 2G iPod Shuffle Into Headgear

Tired of all the pocket (or shirt, if you're a tool) real estate your iPod shuffle takes up? Monster's iFreePlay cordless headphones (which look extremely familiar) let you jack your shuffle directly into a side dock built into the left ear. More »

Quick-Read Creative Zen Stone Review and Gallery (Verdict: Worth At Least Half a Shuffle)

When the $39.99 Zen Stone was first unearthed, there was some discussion as to whether it was larger or smaller than a $79 iPod shuffle. As you'll be able to see in the gallery after the jump, it's noticeably larger than the shuffle, and that's without the $9.99 add-on clip. However, you should also be able to tell that it's a non-issue. The Zen Stone rests tiny and almost weightless in the palm of my hand, and I'm far from NBA material. Until the flash memory and processor are in the earbuds and you wear the whole thing like some freaky necklace, the size/weight concern is pretty much moot. More »

Arriva 'Wireless' iPod Shuffle Headphones

I don't know if it would be legit to actually call these headphones "wireless," but how about "wire free." The headphones attach directly to the iPod shuffle. It is an excellent idea to eliminate the cords, but something would be fishy about seeing someone walking around with what looks like an iPod shuffle grafted to the back of their head. This isn't the actual final design, but Arriva's founder said that final product is very close to what is seen above. –Travis Hudson More »

Podolock Keeps Your Shuffle Locked Up in Plain Sight

Yeah, yeah, yeah. iPods get stolen a lot, I get it. But do you really need a little acrylic case to hold your Shuffle and keep it locked to your belt loop? I mean, I know the ads tell you to keep it clipped to the front of your shirt, but perhaps that's why they're so susceptible to theft. Perhaps you should try keeping it in your pocket. It's $19.95 less than this Podolock, after all. –Adam Frucci More »
