Ultimate iPod nano Accessories

Louis Vuitton is a name synonymous with haute couture, skinny fashion models and well-to-do, grand dames the world over. You would never think they would stoop as low as making an iPod accessory would you? But they do. Here is one of the ultimate iPod nano accessories. According to Mr. Vuitton, their iPod nano case is :

• Monogram canvas with Armagnac leather lining
• Golden brass hardware
• Protective flap with snap closure
• Square and circular display windows
• Opening for earphones at the bottom
• Ring for shoulder strap on back (shoulder strap not included)
• Rear belt loop
• Perfectly sized for the iPod Nano
• 2.2″ x 3.7″ x 0.6″

At $245.00 it is nearly twice the price of the iPod, and they have yet to bring out a new version that fits the iPod video nano. Methinks the electronics world moves a little too fast for the fashion designers to keep up. Perhaps by the next fall show? Of course, by then, we may have moved on a little. But it is pretty, I’ll give them that.

And, lest we forget, The Tech Brief is giving away an iPod nano. That’s right. Free, Gratis and for nothing. This is not one of those deals where you get one “free” if you spend $3,000. This is free, free. All you have to do is subscribe to the Tech Brief by email, and a winner will be randomly chosen. Sounds like a damn good deal to me, I’m already signed up.
