Now that I have finished up with the book I hope to get back to blogging here more often! First up is two new products from Griffin Technology, flashlight and laser-pointer for the iPod.

“Introducing the Griffin iBeam set, ready for your dock-connector iPod or iPod mini. The snap-on flashlight is great for finding keys in the dark. The other half of the package is a class IIIA laser pointer, handy for iPod-friendly presentations and other, less professional pursuits. Both units come with a snap-on protective cap that can be attached to any keychain for convenient portability and accessibility.”

Clearly Griffin is aware that these are in the “fun” category rather than the overly useful. After all, if you in the dark you have to first connect the flashlight to the iPod in order to use it! It would be fun to figure out how to create an iPod light show or laser show. Any developers out there?

More than anything, these two products speak to the power of the iPod economy.

Are you going to buy the iPod flashlight and laser-pointer?
