Put An iPod nano In Your Knickers? Ohhh, Baby.

Two months of vacation (France) away from the civilized world (St. Louis) and what greets my email inbox when I return?

Ultra feminine panties that hold an iPod nano. Is this a great country, or what?

Carol and I have had the pleasure of taking a full summer to tour the better parts of Europe. Yes, we were in France, too.

How? Doing what? Why? Biking, biking, and because we could.

The only thing Mac or Apple that we took with us was our iPods. The rest of what we carried was only what we needed to have clean underwear from time to time, fresh clothes from time to time, and a hearty appetite all the time.

Except for a few friendly folks in France and Germany who had internet access, we didn’t have much access to anything except each other (consider it a second honeymoon without the byproducts of the first honeymoon).

We checked mail once a week. Or so. We phoned home a few times a week to see if the kids would still answer the phone (they did, but there was ominous silence from our neighbors who did the house sitting chores).

Besides a bucket full of email in my inbox, did anything noteworthy happen while we hardened our calves and thighs while softening our brains biking in Europe?

Yes. Apple just completed the transition to Intel CPUs on the entire Mac line-- in 210 days vs. the expected nearly two years.

That momentous event was slightly overshadowed by a sneak peak at Leopard-- Mac OS X 10.5, due out sometime next year.

Both events are overshadowed by the introduction of the iGroove Panty for the iPod nano.

Basically, the iGroove Panty is a sexy looking panty with a little slot pocket which holds an iPod nano.

If you’re like me and love a gift that keeps on giving (giving back to both of us) in ooooh so many ways, this is the one. Guys to girls. Even girls to girls. Whatever.

I’m trying to picture Carol romping around the house all day with her iPod nano attached to her chic black panties. And nothing else.

Whew. That’s an image from a Stephen King book and enough to scare our pets and kids, though not necessarily in that order.

The iGroove Panty for iPod nano is sold by The Sexy Society. I honestly thought we were card carrying members, but Carol has assured me that our membership dues lapsed.

Too bad. I had such high hopes for additional erotic features in future iPods.

A vibrating iPod nano would be cool, especially if there was a way to make it vibrate according to the music being played at the time.

Battery life might be an issue, but how much time do you need for vibrations in your panties to work?

Now, you have to stop and think about this as a truly wonderful gift. It’s only appropriate for those who match the iGroove Panty specifications.

For example, the product description says, ”So techie chic! Perfect for those of us who love to lounge around in sexy undies all day AND have our music!.”

See? All products have qualifiers and this $12.95 beauty is no exception.

Is there more? Fortunately, yes.

The product description continues with ”Black lace panty with pink ribbon and removable pocket to hold iPod nano, money or other small personal items. Comes giftboxed and ready to give—or receive.”

Chuckle, snort. Don’t you love advertising humor?

In case you need a bit more research to determine if the iGroove Panty is perfect for the iPod nano-carrying love of your life, then look no further than TechieDiva.

Besides being blessed with a whole new way to plug and play with an iPod nano, I’ve got my eye on the new TrampLamps, too.
