XtremeMac announces MicroPack portable iPod power pack

XtremeMac has a new universal dock that provides up to 80 hours of tunes on the iPod nano and up to 8 hours of video playback on the newest iPods while you're on the go.
Expected to ship this spring for $99, the MicroPack is a small, sturdy docking station, powered by a compact Lithium Polymer battery. It has a female dock connector that allows you to sync with iTunes while your iPod is in the dock, a digital headphone amp that power two headphone jacks -
each with independent volume control (nice!), line out and video out. You can charge up using any USB power source and the 30-pin cable that came with your iPod.

I keep thinking that there's only a finite number of iPod peripherals and accessories that the world can conceive. Then someone comes along and introduces another one. Not a bad thing, I suppose, but the array is now beyond dizzying.
