XtremeMac unveils 12 Nano accessories

XtremeMac today announced a variety of cases, chargers, car accessories, a new AirPlay2 FM transmitter, and MicroBlast portable speakers designed specifically for iPod nano. All of the new devices are expected to ship between now and the first week of November. The AirPlay2 FM transmitter (pictured at right) is an updated version of XtremeMac's original AirPlay transmitter, designed to work with iPod nano as well as iPod and iPod mini. The device is as thin and narrow as the Nano; features include three programmable station presets, mono mode for better reception in crowded radio markets, and a vibrant blue display with easy-to-read white characters. AirPlay2 connects through the Dock connecter, features an additional pass-through female Dock connecter, and is available in black or white for $60.

MicroBlast speakers are designed specifically for iPod nano, playing and charging the Nano simultaneously. Features include four speakers and three watts per channel. A clear protective cover shields the Nano while docked and doubles as a base for the unit when opened. MicroBlast includes a travel pouch and interchangeable black/white frames to match either Nano model. The device is powered by an AC adapter or four AA batteries and is available for $120.

Iconz cases cover the entire face of the iPod nano while providing play-through coverage for the clickwheel, and feature a built-in screen protector. Offered in 12 designs that include SpongeBob SquarePants, Darth Vader, Bart Simpson, Speed Racer, Scooby Doo, Batman and Tweety Bird, as well as team logos of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Angels. Iconz cases are available for $25 each.
