Every once in a while someone comes out with some portable player with a truckload of features and deems it ‘the next iPod killer’. Fact is, no one has been able to accomplish this feat. And that’s probably going to continue till the time the US Army gets to Osama and tickle him till he admits that George Bush is a super nice chap.
Today we’ll take a look at a bunch of iPod accessories that aim at giving you a better experience.

Some call it foolish, some call it smart and if you’re a hardcore music junkie, you’d certainly want this one. Burton and Spyder make some cool looking jackets, you can just head to Eleksons website, get the fabric controls from them, stick it on to your t-shirt, underwear, what have you.
Gravity attracts everything. Even a shiny new iPod from the hands of an over-excited teeny bopper. So get a rugged cover if you treat your gadgets with as much care as your shoes. Or if you don’t want to screw the look of your iPod, get an invisible cover.
iPod earphones suck. Everyone knows this and if you didn’t you’ve been totally living under a rock. I vehemently recommend something like the Shure EC3 or Creative Aurvana. Gives you a world of a difference.
Sound docks change your iPod from private to public. Some sound docks are loud enough to hold a small bash for 8-10 people. The ones I totally dig are the Bose SoundDock, Harman Kardon Go+Play and the JBL Radial for their rather balanced sound.
Out of all these, the Bose is the most portable and the Harman Kardon, the loudest. If I am not mentioning the Apple Hi-Fi, its because I haven’t heard it personally.
If you’re the type who needs some ear-pounding during a work out, get an arm band. You can carry out your proceedings in peace, rather than worry about your darling iPod falling out of your pocket.
Wireless transmission problem? No problem! Get a FM transmitter and transmit to all the receivers in the vicinity. Have a blast.
Out of battery, sir/ma’am? Get a battery pack, connect, reload, replay.
P.S. This article goes without saying that you should be adding a screen protector. And no, iPod’s dont need socks.
Our world is moving online and so are our applications. They are improving by the day. Don’t expect something like online AutoCAD but these applications are certainly a step in the right direction.

With Google Docs you have an online version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint presentations. Its comes with storage and is seamlessly linked with your GMail account. Only problem I see is that it doesn’t support .docx files
A jaw dropping range of office applications with an interface very similar to the earlier MS Office.
Adobe Photoshop is the de facto standard for image manipulation and who better than them to create an online app? Its excellent for tweaking your pictures and there are multitudes of options available to do so. It is also seamlessly hooked up with Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa. You also get a .photoshop.com subdomain to show your pictures off. Their tagline is “Made you look”. Well, I sure did
A very user friendly and bright looking interface coupled with a multitude of options to do the nip and tucking to your image.
Google Docs does have an inbuilt PDF reader, but we have PDF Escape to take care of everything else. It allows you to edit your PDF’s. Now, there.
Want a free virus scan? Here you go. There are loads of online virus scanners but I found Kaspersky to be the best. Die, Die, Die my Virus.
Yes, Microsoft still has the ability to come up with some nifty stuff at times and I am mighty pleased with their Skydrive service. 5GB of space to store your critical data, a clean interface and the ability to share files and folders. Kapow!
