Delapod - something special for the ladies

I remember seeing these back in May when Engadget and iPodlounge covered them, but Jan Kabili of The Unofficial Photoshop Weblog points out that somehow we never posted about it!

The Delapod, by Delarew Designs is a handbag for your iPod. Sure, you can toss your iPod into any old handbag, but it wouldn't be as convenient or look quite as cool. Delarew had a booth at Macworld so I did get to see these in person. Sadly, since I'm not a handbag-carrying kinda gal, I'm probably not the best judge of these things, but the concept is certainly practical. Instead of making you fumble around inside your bag for your iPod, the Delapod features an integrated, transparent plastic window on the side that holds and iPod or iPod mini and holes on either end of the bag to plug in your headset. They come in a variety of styles, patterns and colors and retail for $49-$99, depending on the style.

Clever, huh? My only issue with these is that in any major metropolitan area, carrying one of these around is pretty much screaming for some thug to steal your purse, so you might want to carry it only when you're surrounded by a lot of people in a well-lit area.
