Default Griffin Technology Launching 10 Accessories for the Zune

http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/search/search.asp?NavID_Search=false&CurDSN=simple&calledfrom=1&incimage=on&Search=zune+griffin&submit1.x=0&submit1.y=0&submit1=Go!



Well-known iPod accessories manufacturer Griffin Technology is stepping into the Zune arena, which we knew, but it wasn't until I was poking around eCost that I discovered what they're actually going to be releasing. All the text below was slowly (painfully) assembled from eCost product listings. Sadly, no pictures, but I'm waiting on a response from Griffin to see if they'll provide me with some pics. I'm a big fan of Griffin Technology products, because they're really high quality - I use two of their iCurves to keep my two laptops suspended, and they work really well.

In terms of what Griffin is offering, it's all pretty standard stuff, and likely things they could easily re-purpose from their iPod line of accessories. If the Zune is a success in the marketplace, I believe we'll see more creative accessories coming.
