Christmas 2007 has come and gone, and hopefully you had a wonderful time around with your loved ones. Now that we have been spoiled with the many Christmas presents again, it’s time to hunt for some interesting accessories for the new Gadgets that have been presented to us this year :)

And what was the NR 1. gadget given by Santa in the year of 2007? Of course it was the Apple’s new iPhone, followed by the iPod. And luckily for us there are many different accessories and extensions to chose from when utilizing the technologies of these wonderful gadgets.

We have spotted some extraordinary accessories for the iPod and iPhone on Amazon. When it comes to iPod speakers and docks, most existing systems should be compatible with the iPhone, according to industry experts. But of course it wouldn’t hurt to double check that before you buy one, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. Dedicated to bring you the best, we have featured below the Bose Portable SoundDock System that plays with both the iPhone and the iPod.

More stuff we found includes a Bluetooth Headset with USB Dock, and a Bluetooth Plug-in Handsfree Car Kit with an LCD screen and a paperback called iPhone: The Missing Manual which might com in handy. Check them out by clicking on the pictures, and have fun!
