CES isn't complete without unique and out-of-the-ordinary products to complement the more mainstream gadgets. Beyond finding accessories that enhance the functionality of an iPhone or iPod touch, like mophie's marketplace (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/01/07/ces-2010-iluv-and-mophie-with-app-integrated-accessories/") magnetic strip reader or one of the new iPhone infrared remote accessories (http://www.macrumors.com/iphone/2010/01/09/ces-2010-iphone-universal-remote-accessories-debut/") to be released soon, we found a few that will suit those with more unusual tastes.

Probably the oddest iPod accessory we came across was the As Seen on TV Hat (https://www.asseenontvhat.com/flare/next). The hat has an extended bill that can hold your iPhone, iPod touch, or other media player at a reasonable viewing distance and small curtains to provide an environment suitable for watching videos in a variety of lighting conditions. This strange accessory costs $19.95, comes in cap or visor form and includes a neck protector.

The latest iteration of Speakal's iPig (http://www.speakal.com/ipig.html") docking station and speaker for iPod/iPhone was on display, putting out much louder-than-expected sound complete with touch-sensitive ears to control volume. The $139.99 iPig is compatible with just about every iPod and iPhone model, though it will not charge the iPod shuffle. Speakal also offers this speaker/dock combination in other animal incarnations and shapes as well, including a panda, a ghost and more, all in a variety of colors.
