Dress your iPod up in any one of six vibrant color socks (green, purple, grey, blue, orange, and pink). This set of knit socks provides a stylish, fun, and practical way to protect your iPod. Fits all iPods for $29.00. Apple iPod Socks ship in early December.
So add a dash of color to your iPod with iPod Socks, the year’s coziest and most vibrant iPod accessory.
It doesn’t matter which iPod model you have because iPod Socks fit all of them. And it doesn’t matter what your mood is because each iPod Socks package includes six bright colors so you can pick the one that feels best.
Apple.com states, “Forgive us if we’re stating the obvious, but here’s how it works: Just slide your iPod into the sock to keep it safe and warm. Slide it out to dock or change playlists. It’s as easy as… putting on a pair of socks.”

LOL…I thought these socks were a joke when Jobs made the announcement! i guess not?
Hmmm, socks, the lads at the innovation department must of brainstormed for weeks to come up with this one.
Same here. I seriously thought this was a joke. But then, there are so many great iPod accessories out there, I don’t know what Apple could have come up with that was new other than socks. iPod Cozies…nope. iPod Socks…Killer item. Now, wait for the version for athletes that have the stripes around the cuff.
I thought it was a joke too. But towards the end of Job’s announcement I thought, perhaps not.
Does it seem silly to anyone that the same results can be achieved with a trip to Old Navy and some hot glue for about $26 less?
Old news, saw them last Thursday in the Onlinestore.
I think they are brilliant!!!
$29 for stumpy socks!
If your mother had knitted them for your xmas present you wouldn’t have known how to leave the room quick enough! Put an Apple logo on and Basta… winter cool. They’ll sell a million. My daughter wanted them straight away.
…fabulous! The years best iPod accessory.
I think you need to have a vagina to appreciate this item. It certainly escapes me…
I can truely say that is worthless. What is the purpose for snowboarding. You cant navigate your between your playlist and why would you want to carry a sock around.
“I think you need to have a vagina to appreciate this item. It certainly escapes me…”
You’re right, they certainly do not double as condoms. Hey wait, that’s an idea: the iPod Condom! Waterproof. One size fits all iPods. Extra thin for for that sensible scroll wheel! One set with six colours for just $29!
I’m off to the patent bureau!
What’s with Apple? First they rate their own products; next they sell iPod socks. Is someone losing it over there? I know what the Micro-soft people can do with those socks; unfortunately, they are too small for me

what’s next? ipod underwear?
One can see the extraordinary design skills Jonathan Ive in this product.
No condoms but they do double up as snug Willy Warmers.
They will sell a million. Many ipod users love the tactile feel of the ipod. Most of the current covers change that. Drop your ipod in a sock, throw it in your pack, when you need to use it you still have that tactile feel.
What did you find in your Christmas stocking this year? Beats the hell out of coal or a Dell Pukebox. Same thing I guess.
So a person in Chicago gets off the train in January, the temp is five degrees below zero and they’ve got to walk three blocks to work. Take a guess at the only iPod accessory that’ll keep it warm enough for the battery to last the entire three blocks. While I won’t be shelling out the $$ for them, I certainly see the use. I did my two block walk this morning in sub freezing temps and I can totally see people in cold climates considering this.
Just checked out the Australian Apple store.
ipod socks AU$48
I’m used to having to pay extra due to the exchange rate, but $48 for bloody socks.
Treadlightly,
I was told there would be no math…
still no sign of them on the UK apple store 🙁
They should have come out with protective rocks, and reduced ad wording.
I raised one Vulcan eyebrow as well when it was announced, but Steve will have the last laugh when they become a runaway hit!
(get it? runaway, socks, never mind)
Xirt I feel your oain, still nothing on the UK store.
I might give them a call tomorrow and ask about international availability
A different color for every day of the week except for Sunday.
Sunday you go regimental.
I ordered my pair! 😀
I’m suprised to see that there is no white sock available.
Now we know what Steve did with all those pairs of sock he’s gotten for Father’s Day over the years.
