M-Infotech has unveiled the IH19 iPod dock, a device which can be carried while mountain-biking and which protects the iPod as the user is enjoying the great outdoors.
According to Gizmodo online gadget guide, the dock is "shock-proof and rain-proof" and can prevent "shaking iPod syndrome".
The iPod can be strapped in to the top of the dock using the secure belt while the included speakers project the music.
Meanwhile, the dock can perform basic operations such as track change, volume control, play and pause, although it does not charge the iPod.
The IH19 is currently available in Japan for 14,800 Yen (£67).
Also newly available for the iPod is the new Cozy Tunes speaker pillow from MP3 Bits, which can plug in to the MP3 player or to a laptop, CD or DVD player and aeroplane music point.
The speaker pillow can be purchased in four colours – black, fuschia, violet and lime – and costs £19.99.
