Damon Darlin has this piece in today’s New York Times talking about the economic ecosystem that has cropped up around the iPod. According to the article, there are 2,000 iPod-related items for sale, and that for every $3 spent on an iPod, consumers spend $1 on accessories, such as iPod cases, car rechargers, baby strollers with built-in iPod storage units, belt buckles with iPod holders and so forth.
But Darlin didn’t go far enough in his piece. We’ve been tracking some of the more outlandish iPod accessories such as iPod underwear (called iBoxers), iPod beds, and $50,000 diamond encrusted iPods.
