IPods are one of the worst investments, along with Zune. You should buy an ordinary mp3 player that has features that you want, rather then limiting yourself to the fashionable ipod which is severely limited in form and function.

Having it on the alarm clock unit would be a redundancy. You can set your ipod to start playing at a certain time - that’s how it works with EXTERNAL speakers!

I have an iHome myself and the iHome *does* start the iPod playing. The sound comes through the iPod's Dock connection, not a separate hookup. The Dock connection is for both sound, control, and power. Actually, Charles, you’re quite wrong. I have an iHome myself and the iHome *does* start the iPod playing.

I have one and figured that out AFTER I got it. :( The alarm clock does not actually start the ipod playing at a certain time, it has a charging dock and hookup to play the ipod thru the alarm clock’s speakers.

However, as I begin go see more and more "iPod" pockets in purse's, jackats, bags, etc., it's clear what a mainstay the little music players have become in our lives. However, I can say quite earnestly that I learned about no less than 7 iPod products I didn't know existing through reading your posting --and laughed out loud no less than 5 times. Thanks for some fun Friday reading. A late iPod convery myself, I have not a ton of iPod-specific extenders or clothes with special compartments.

Yeah, it's fun to see a couple walking together or sitting on the subway, each with iPods plugged into their ears. Reminds me of cell phones... no wonder there's a convergence there... Seems like people will take any opportunity to be rude to each other without noticing it. Ah, the disconnect of it all. ;) Heh.

I think in moderation, any of these wacky devices are okay (well, almost any) but it is definitely forseeable and people can go overboard and get totally out of touch. Especially once they start to use the iPod when walking around indoors after removing it from their iPod-enabled BMW.
