Technology designer Thought Out has showcased its new-fangled iPod stand, the iPed.

Following in the wake of Apple’s iMac G5, Thought Out’s iPod offers consumers a stylish, professional looking iPod accessory that is compatible with all third and fourth generation iPod models.

The sturdy metal iPed comes complete with a hard powder coat finish and is available in either the iconic iPod white shade or a smart grey tinge.

The practical iPod accessory has been designed with an anti-pull through grommet meaning providing stability and ease of use for consumers’ iPods FireWire or USB cable.

Thought Out’s iPed stand is retailing from around £14.99 with a smaller version of the accessory, for the iPod mini, expected to be unveiled shortly.
