CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW: CNET editors cover the Next Big Thing
![]() Nyko's iTop brings convenience to the iPod January 6, 2005; 12:10 p.m. ![]() The product: Here's a thoughtful product for iPod owners: Nyko's iTop Button Relocator. This affordable accessory plugs onto the top of any iPod that has a dock connector and allows users to control the player using tactile and easily accessible buttons. iPod functions such as play/pause, forward, rewind, and thankfully, volume buttons are mapped to the chrome-and-white iTop. It's a handy accessory for those who despise slaloming through the iPod's menus to adjust volume as well as for those who like to stash their iPods in their pocket or bag. The price: $29 The prospects: The iTop is the answer for those who complain about the iPod's lack of a dedicated volume control. It feels slightly flimsy when mounted on the iPod, but for $29, this is a nice addition to the iPod accessories category. By James Kim, senior editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
