One of the benefits of being the Macworld editor in charge of iPod and iPhone accessories is that I get to play with lots of gadgets. On the other hand, too often that means seeing the same basic product over and over...and over.

In this video, I show you seven recent products that have stood out from the steady flow of me-too add-ons.
The iPod has become so popular that a lot of people have forgotten about a rich and free resource for music—radio.

I speak with Tonya and Adam Engst of TidBITS and Take Control e-books fame about the state of electronic publishing and what the iPad means to them and the book publishing industry.
