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. Users simply loop the cable around the strap of a backpack, purse or briefcase, or other stationary object, insert the combination lock through the opening in the case, and then attach the lock to their iPod. Available in black, the Mobile Security Lock for iPod measures 1.8" x 4.2" x 0.6", weighs 2.8 oz., and is $40.

Desktop Security Lock for iPod

Featuring a 6.5-foot galvanized black steel cable, the Desktop Security Lock secures the iPod to any stationary object and allows for ease of use. The Desktop Lock is available in black and weighs 5.5 oz. MSRP is $30.

Eyelet Security Lock for iPod

The Eyelet Security Lock is designed for use with any notebook cable lock to secure the iPod and notebook together, providing ease of use and stationary security. The eyelet lock attaches to the iPod's dock connector. The cable from the notebook lock is threaded through the Eyelet Lock's pass-through loop and then fastened to the notebook to secure both devices simultaneously. Compact and flexible, the Eyelet Security Lock offers an affordable, convenient solution. Available in black and constructed of galvanized steel, the Eyelet Security Lock measures 5.5" x 1.25" x 0.5" and weighs 2 oz. It is available for $20.
