ABT iJet with Bottom Dock
Review

The iJet with Bottom Dock is designed to fit the 5g iPods, but it will work with any iPod with a dock connector. It is available in black or white. I tried it with my 5g 30gb iPod and it fit great.

Two Wireless Mouse options from Macally
Review

Macally’s rfMOUSE (rf) and rfMOUSEJR (rfJR) are two great wireless mice.
