The iWay iPod SD Adapter lets you load up your iPod with photographs without having to use a computer. Just plug in the adapter, insert your SD memory card and voila. Great for off-loading photos from your digital camera when you’re on holiday or whatever. Only works with the Video iPod though, not the Photo or nano models. $69.95 (black or white versions).

 Just plug iWay into your iPod, and gain a portal that lets you instantly upload photos from any standard SD memory card. So you can take your photos anywhere, and share them on the iPod’s larger, brighter screen compared to your camera’s tiny LCD. After uploading, you can either retain the images on the SD card, or “erase card” to free up space for new photos. And you don’t have to lug around your laptop to show off your photographic skills!

iPod-iWay. Use your iPod + Yahoo! Maps as a route mapper. A rather cool application for a music player, isn’t it?

 iPod-iWay is a powerful step-by-step directions saving tool that will export online driving directions from results by Yahoo Maps and import them into your iPod Photo. It’s an easy solution for getting Yahoo Map directions saved and displayed onto any iPod Photo or Nano, and without the need of additional software!

So some geeks were on their way to a conference and decided to install a car to car wireless network system to chat to each other. To save mobile phone charges. Makes sense doesn’t it?
