TETRAN
While wandering through Macworld (and after viewing a zillion iPod accessories later), I stumbled upon these little fellas, known as TETRAN, in the back corner of the exhibit hall. There's something vaguely satisfying about seeing that cute spikey thing all wrapped up in those white iPod headphone wires with the earbuds shoved in its mouth.

Podstar iPod Nano cases
These horny little devils caught our eye. They're functional iPod Nano cases that protect the scratch-prone players and allow you to project more than utility when getting your groove on.

For their next installment, "Into the Woods," the folks at DWB gave CH an exclusive sneak preview of the nature-based and nature-inspired items in store before it opens this Thursday,...
