Targus debuts three new iPod locks

Targus today announced three new security locks for Apple's iPod, including the Mobile Security Lock for iPod, which it says is "the only theft protection solution currently available that can be used while on-the-go" as well as the Desktop Security Lock for iPod and the Eyelet Security Lock for iPod. Featuring a keyless, user-settable three-digit combination for added convenience and protection, the new Targus security locks are designed for use with iPods configured with a dock connector, including the fifth-generation, Nano, iPod photo, fourth-generation iPods, iPod mini and third-generation iPods.

The Mobile Security Lock for iPod (pictured at right) features a compact case that houses the retractable cable and combination lock.
