Hold on dear iPod because another maker came to pay its dues! It's the Japanese Princeton which has just unveiled its latest innovation - a wireless device for the video iPod named PCK-UAV, which measures 80x55x42mm and weighs only 65 grams.

Even if Princeton's transmitter can hook up with almost any video gadget that can be connected via a standard RCA video jack, it has been developed with Apple's iPod in mind. Therefore, it can be coupled with the device via additional AV cables, coming at an extra price of about $19, wirelessly transmitting and audio to a TV.

But if you don't need a transmitter, you can buy a speaker system which is foldable and ready for a ride. Altec's inMotion iM500 is a light-weight, highly portable and compact speaker system that folds to almost 8.5-inch wide, 0.7-inch deep and 5-inch high and weighs only 12 ounces. Also, the speakers system has an enhanced battery life of more than seven hours of full functioning, as the system can work with an AC or the battery.

The new iM500 includes an enhanced MaxxBass technology for quality bass without a subwoofer, integrated iPod docking station for data transfer and iPod recharge, and a supplementary jack that enables users to plug in other audio devices, including other iPods, CDs, MP3s or portable DVD players.
