Compact iPod shuffle dock
A UK-based iPod accessory maker today announced it is shipping "the world's smallest iPod shuffle dock." The iUSB allows users to easily connect an iPod shuffle to any USB port without having to use the relatively large Shuffle 2G-dock (included with the iPod shuffle). Supporting full speed USB transfer rates, the company says it supports music transfer with iTunes as well as charging. "The iUSB is the perfect travel companion, taking up virtually no space in a bag or pocket," the company wrote. "No need to haul around the Dock and cables that came with your iPod Shuffle, just pack the iUSB and a user all set." The iUSB also comes with a convenient lanyard loop on the side so users can attach it to backpack or laptop case. The tiny adapter weighs 5.6 grams and measures 47mm X 16mm!. It is available for £6.
Alright!

WOW! It's too bad this looks exactly like the Incipio IncipioBud: http://myincipio.com/product/IP-300 ...gee, isn't that the same picture from Incipio's site?
I just got my IncipioBud last week, and it IS wonderful, Apple should have included one like this from the get go.
Just get it from Incipio here in the U.S. if you live here, it'll save you lots of $$$.

Looks just like the Incipio product... had mine for months and works great. Definitely should have been something Apple included, definitely not new (or news).

these have to be the same product. from what i can tell there ain't no difference. maybe they're just selling it in the uk under a different name...

whatever it's called over there, they are out of stock. heheheheh... I've had mine since before Christmas and they work GREAT! So much so, I bought one for my girlfriend and myself, plus 1 more for work that I keep near the DP G5 that I use for video production work.
