So are your speakers compatible for just Ipods or all MP3 products? Errm, i think i will just make them compatible with all music players, jst to plug them in the earphone socket or something although i am being swayed towards endorsment with Apple, as it is a very marketable brand. But, as i say, despite being Apple, still have it to work for all mp3 players and iPods

If you need any help, just ask

Aye, that's one of the problems i face Apple don't have many of their own speakers out though, the one's advertised on their site are by Bose and other manufacturers, and to be honest, if i wanted to buy speakers for my iPod, i would most likely want Apple ones that go with it so i think the fact it is Apple is unique, however, others may not think the same way as me so, that is a main thing, looking for a niche, or unique thing

I'd try and design it so it fits in with the product itself as well...keep it nice and compact and thin, some speakers can be far too bulky, perhaps these could be flat, almost as thin as the Plasma TV's you get. You could do it so they are easy to carry around also. You could use them as a docking station for the iPod so it recharges whilst in use.

Aye, they're some good ideas Lee, cheers pal I shall chuck 'em in my research and see what can be done And if i were to use Apple, then making them go well with iPods should encourage iPod purchase, which is obviously what Apple will want so i reckon i might have found the niche in the market i was looking for You never know, Apple might use my idea, use it, and make me stinking rich! Mwah ha! Might give you some of it, after all, some of them could have been your ideas

Mwah ha! Might give you some of it, after all, some of them could have been your ideas Yup that is true although it would exclude you from other areas yet tbh, i'd still go down that road, you'd benefit in the long run and Apple have a great market, tried and tested already there, advertising and promoting it wouldnt be a problem. Give it some funky features and bob's your uncle. Maybe you could incorporate the Ipod wheel as adjusting the volume on it or another similar device using the same technology. As i said, make it so it looks like it is an apple product and would accompany an iPod
