Market pacesetter Griffin Technology has unveiled two new accessories for the Apple iPod.

The Griffin Dock400 and Dock800 cables are available for shipping as from today and allow easy synchronisation and charging of an iPod using a PC or Apple Mac’s FireWire ports.

The docks offer a fast, reliable function that provide an ideal solution to iPod owners whose computers lack USB 2.0 ports which are required for Apple’s newest iPod photo and iPod mini models.

Paul Griffin, president of Griffin Technology remarked:  “Since FireWire 400 ports are at a premium, by using the Dock800 cable, you’re making efficient use of your FireWire ports.”

Official UK prices for the docks have not yet been published.
