Incipio has debuted the “iPod ShuffleBud” which allows 2nd generation iPod shuffle owners to easily connect an iPod shuffle to any USB port without having to use Apple’s iPod shuffle Dock (included with your iPod shuffle).

Supporting full speed USB transfer rates, the iPod ShuffleBud is a nice travel companion, taking up virtually no space in a bag or pocket. There’s no need to haul around the Dock and cables that came with your iPod Shuffle, just pack the iPod ShuffleBud and you’re all set.

The iPod ShuffleBud also comes with a lanyard loop on the side so you can attach it to backpack or laptop case and weighs in at 5.6 grams and measures 47mm X 16mm.

Incipio’s “iPod ShuffleBud” retails for US$5.99.
