Are you frustrated with playing video on your iPod's 2.5-inch screen? If so, take a gander at Memorex's iFlip portable video player for iPod, which essentially boosts your iPod's display to 8.4-inches. Simply dock your iPod into the portable DVD player-like device, and you can view video and photos without having to squint. While the $199 iFlip certainly makes viewing iPod-based video more convenient, we're not entirely impressed with actual screen quality.

Accessories big shot Kensington has unveiled the world's first RDS FM transmitter for the iPod. So what's different about this $89.99 piece of car gear? It wirelessly transmits your iPod's song and artist info to your compatible car stereo display using the increasingly popular Radio Data System (RDS). The RDS standard, adopted in the States in 1993, allows broadcasters to use an FM subfrequency to add text and other metadata, such as song titles and radio station names. While the RDS feature worked well in our tests (once we found a compatible stereo, that is) and the transmitter has decent signal strength and sound quality, we are still hesitant to recommend it wholeheartedly. Here's why.

Measuring in at 8.3x7x1.5 inches, the DCP850 isn't any bulkier than a standard portable DVD player. With portable DVD player screens generally ranging from 7 to 11 inches, the DCP850's 8.5-inch, 16:9 display is of average size. The hinged screen swivels 180 degrees to accommodate different viewing angles. If you're on a tight budget and can settle for a 7-inch screen, check out the otherwise identical Philips DCP750, which costs about $50 less.

One look at the Bushnell Web site and it is immediately apparent for whom the company makes its products. There's plenty of cool tech on the site, but it's aimed at a niche market of outdoor enthusiasts (admittedly, a pretty substantial niche), which means we here at CNET don't often find Bushnell products gracing our desks. Fortunately for any of you hikers, bikers, and campers out there, we recently had an excuse to try one of the company's products: the TravelTunes Portable Speakers for iPod ($169.99), a rugged, weather resistant unit just itching to accompany you on your next outing.

Music players don't get much more simple and straightforward than the iPod Shuffle. The entry-level Apple player wins points for its ultratiny size and jogging-friendly clip-on design. But even if you can live without a screen, the Shuffle's included charger is something of a drawback. While it'd be a stretch to call the adapter "large" or "bulky," it's annoying to tote the charging pad (and its attached 36-inch USB cable) whenever you take the Shuffle on a trip--doubly so when you remember that the original Shuffle's built-in USB plug made that model a truly plug-and-play affair. For anybody who wants to leave the Shuffle charger at home, there's at least one worthwhile alternative: the Monster iSlimCharger for iPod Shuffle.

The first Drive + Play from Harman Kardon gave drivers a useful, basic means of controlling their iPods while on the road. With its limited range of features, monochrome display, and clunky electronics box, however, the original device was beginning to look dated, and it was only a matter of time before it was updated with something a bit snazzier.

New to Sony's 2007 line of AV receivers and home-theater-in-a-box systems--both the Bravia and the component-based lines--is the Digital Media Port (or DMPort), a proprietary jack that offers connectivity to any of four optional accessories. The quartet of compatible add-ons include the TDM-NC1 (a Wi-Fi music streamer), the TDM-BT1 (a Bluetooth adapter), the TDM-NW1 (a dock for certain Sony Walkman MP3 models), and the TDM-IP1 (an iPod dock). By offering the adapters as optional accessories, Sony theoretically keeps the cost of the main units down, but still allows users a "choose your own adventure" option for the digital-audio source of their choice.

What with the iPhone being all the rage right now, we're just happy to see that accessories makers such as Griffin haven't decided to leave the iPod in the dust. The company is in the midst of launching three new sound systems for the omnipresent MP3 player: one , and one portable. We got our hands on the portable unit, dubbed Journi, for this review. Right off the bat, we're digging this $130 speaker's fabulous design and wealth of features, but the audio quality isn't so fantastic. Still, if you're not superpicky about sound, this is one sweet system.

Winner for best iPod speaker system that reminds us of an alien: Rain Design's iWoofer. This cute battery- and AC-powered speaker unit includes an FM radio and a built-in subwoofer, and it sounds decent for personal and desktop use. But the $129 iWoofer's intrigue lies with its sci-fi-inspired looks, which will no doubt be noticed on your desk as it has been by other CNET editors on mine.

FM radio has been a long time coming for the Apple iPod. Griffin offered the first solution late last year with its iFM, which the company later tried to improve upon--the fatal mistake in our eyes was the removal of the built-in voice recorder. At Macworld this year, Apple finally paid heed to consumers' cries (see below) and released the $49 iPod Radio Remote, a cord-heavy device with a tiny square of remote controls.
