Mac for your iPod

I don't want to put a dampener on your weekend, especially as the sun has finally come out, but it's festival season. You'd be wise to pack your mac. As in waterproof coat - I'm not suggesting you lug your Mac Pro into the boot of you camper van alongside your tent, a 48-pack of Stella and a 12-pack of Immodium.

I don't want to curse your festival experience, and it's not just sour grapes because Karen got Glasto tickets and I didn't (dammit), I'm just saying: if you're in a field, listening to loud live music, drunk, wearing your finest trampy-boho outfit, it usually buckets down.

If you're into your consumer technology, this is especially bad news. A drenched iPod is a useless iPod. A sodden mobile phone just doesn't ring. OverBoard clearly has experience of such things. The company specialises in waterproofing your gadgets, and has just launched its latest mac-style cases for all your expensive toys. Now your iPod can look as indie as you, in your vintage 70s cagoul.

There's an OverBoard coat for iPods, cameras, phones - you could even take your PSP to Glasto safe in the knowledge that it'll keep dry even if you lose it in a mudslide.

You can get yourself one here.

one question. where do your headphones come out of those waterproof cases. because surely if its sealed and you have put the headphone cable through the fastner then its not really sealed.

any ideas ?
