Griffin Technology Launching 10 Accessories for the Zune
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.
