This is a very cool gadget. I have an iPod and it is sometimes bit tedious to pause, skip and increase the volume as i usually keep my iPod inside my pocket or a bag. This gadget would really make life a lot easier for iPod users. As the name “iRing” suggests, its a ring and you wear it in your finger and all the standard iPod controls are fitted into it. I really admire the person who came up with this idea, it is really creative and I love creative people.

This cool iPod gadget comes in two colors, white like the one you see in the picture and black. When you purchase on, you will also get the iRing charger. I don’t know if this product is out on the market or not but I really like to concept behind it. If the iRing has already been released, please let me know and I would also like to know the price of iRing. This could really make my life a little easier.
