IPod Speaker/Case

With IPods connected so directly to personal listening, I always wonder why there isn't an easy just-as-small gadget or accessory to go with it to turn it into a personal stereo. Sure, there's IHome, and all these cool speaker setups, but this one gadget seems just right to fit the bill (not trying to sound like a commercial or anything...): the Sandbar Soundmate. Although I have to give up my regular-size 80GB IPod this week, this thing would be good to know about if/when I get another.
