good gracious. has the ipod finally jumped the shark?
I'm waiting for iPod Pants(tm), so that I can listen to two iPods at once. That would be really cool.
i gotta say, as an ipodowner, this is the first accessory that i've really considered getting. c'mon, the simplicity, the touch-and-feel factor...
although ipodpants would be good, too. or ipodunderpants.
I have never hated a device as much as I hate the iPod.
damn, i bought these the other day...i thought they were i-pod brand knit condoms. they weren't worth a damn.
hamfisted, me too...i like the pretty colors!

Why you hate iPod? What has iPod done to you? Does iPod make you sad? If so, iPod says me sorry. Me sorry for not making you want own me....iPod just try to make good mp3 music player for peoples. iPod not mean to make so many peoples angry. iPod think that angry peoples should be angry at maybe Bill Gates. Remember how angry peoples are at mean man? iPod love you. iPod love you very much. iPod want to make peoples happy and in love with eachother. iPod want many booms in Iraq to stop. Don't you want boom in Iraq to stop too? iPod like Kerry AND Bush! They are peoples! iPod love ALL peoples!!! YOU LOVE IPOD TOO!!
If you no love iPod...
then iPod very sad....
iPod so cold and lonely... iPod wish for socks to keep me warm at night
uncleozzy... iPod love you. Even though you hate iPod, me still love you, you are peoples, and peoples are good. iPod wish you play mp3 music for much happiness which last forever for you. iPod wish you buy many socks for your family and peoples you love to keep them warm from the cold. Is it very much to ask that iPod have socks too?
OMG Debaser got a talking iPod?!?!?! They HAVE those now? Where can I get one? My one now is so, ugh, outdated.
God damnit!!! Freakin iTunes update gave my iPod AI, and now it's taking over my computer. Fuckin' thing deleted all my Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson songs "for my own good" supposedly. DAMN YOU iPOD!!!! DAMN YOU TO HELLLL!!!!
I bought my fucking ipod some of these socks, but now it just wants mittens.
disclaimer: I do not actually own an ipod. YET!
My socks come 10 for $10, and those are PAIRS.
For those that purchase these, please send me $19.95 and I will send you a fack filled brochure detailing how frequently suckers are born. :P
iPods can suck it. The only inanimate object I buy socks for is my Realdoll, damnit.
Cheap bastard. I bought my RealDoll her own iPod...
Is this that lame Apple mp3 player that has been outstripped in performance, in price, in user-friendliness, and in every other concieveable manner by every non-hyped mp3 player that has ever been designed in the history of the planet? Is that this iPod of which you all speak?
I don't want one, thank you very much.
I bought my iPod a RealDoll..... is that backwards... it asked nicely!
My RealDoll hasn't earned her iPod yet.
$29! $29!
That is so over-priced...
I mean, what jccalhoun said.
Skrik: Every mp3 player I've seen, hyped or non-hyped, except the iPod has sucked ass. Got a model you can quote?
My RealDoll hasn't earned his socks yet.
I wonder how the conversation in the board room went.
"Hey xmas shopping season is coming up. We need a stocking stuffer for ipod owners."
"Stocking stuffer....hmmm....stoc-Hey I got it!"
It's so...what's that word? Meta? No. Stupid.
How about a cod for iPod?
Gentlemen may cry codpiece, codpiece, but there is no...
disclaimer-
I'm not an ipod hater. I plan to buy one in the next couple of months. But the socks....
They're socks. They cost 10 cents to make. And they're charging $5 a piece. And you have to buy 6 of them, even though you can only use 1 at a time. What if you only want a blue one? In that case, you're paying $30 for a 10 cent cotton tube. I could see where people would want one. It's cute. But making them buy 6. And both the nature of the product and the time of year just screams xmas gift, which makes the pricing and bundling even slimier. I think someone deserves a visit from the ghost of christmas whupass.
next up: the ipod bra!
want cleavage? the more music you purchase through the itunes music store...
SpongeBob ipodPants?
I never realized that I was a trendsetter. I've been putting a sock on my iPod for months now. Of course, its a little kid sock that I paid $.30/pair for, so I guess it might lack the style of the offical ones. On the other hand, mine does feature a lovely cartoon car called BuBu ChaCha.
Wild; I had a conversation just this morning about what a great market there'd be for crocheted ipod cozies. I've thought about custom-making a few and putting my profits toward finally being able to afford one of the goddamn things.
"NAKED IPODS HAVE LITTLE OR NO INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY"
You know, I never did get an ipod, even though I considered it. So now it has accessories, like Barbie? Christ on a crutch, I'll skip it altogether.

For what it's worth, I still think this is an elaborate hoax by Apple. Steve Jobs apparently introduced these at the U2 iPod event by talking about "a revolutionary new iPod product... Socks!" I will believe it when I see it in the stores.
but ... but they're not sock monkeys :(
These ones are not crocheted.
Neither are the iPod socks. They're knitted. Jeez, get your crafts straight. ;)
Interestingly, they appear to have inspired a few people to knit their own. I'm thinking about making my own, but I can't figure out how to start a pattern like that, where you go from a line (at the bottom) to in the round. Maybe I should just use a generic sock pattern.
Yes, it was far from crystal, but the "These ones are not crocheted" comment was more of a dijointed follow up to babywannasofa's speculation on the market for crocheted ipod cozies.
The thread on knit ipod covers that pmdboi linked to dates back to Jan. 2004, so (not that I even know when this ipod socks idea came out) I wonder if those weren't inspired by something else.
And, hey this is a bit reminiscent of Barbie accessories. I remember cutting off the tops of some of my socks to create utilitarian tube tops and dresses for Barbie dolls.
If you no love iPod...
