iPod Nano gets slimline stand
Dock holiday
What you need to know about cloud backup
US iPod accessory maker Marware has unveiled a docking cradle that's almost as minimalist as the player it's designed to support. The iPod Nano Stand is sculpted to fit the player perfectly, with a dock connector and a back plane to make fitting and removal painless.

There's a standard USB port to cable the cradle to the host computer and a pair of audio ports - one of which looks like it may double up as a video output port to slow Nano-stored photos on a bigger screen, though as yet this isn't confirmed.
The stand comes in black and white versions to match or contrast with the colour of your Nano. Each costs $25 (£14/€21). ®
