iStab

What with the spate of rumours about iPod muggings and then the story of the guy (Phil Leif) who fended off an assailant with his iPod mini, it is surely only a matter of time before some enterprising peripheral manufacturer takes this to the logical conclusion and comes up with a 3rd party personal defence attachment for the iPod mini. Such as, oh, iStab:

iStab features a USB 2.0 dagger blade for quick, hassle-free bloodletting and comes in five subtle metallic colours so you don't have to worry about it clashing with your mini. Attaching it is a breeze - simply slot iStab into the USB port on the base of your iPod mini and you are good to go! Best of all, iStab doesn't require any power so you should still get a good eight hours of juice. The blade is finest aircraft-grade titanium and won't rust or discolour, no matter how many worthless scumbags you have to fend off.

iStab is just $20 from all good mac vendors, a small price to pay for peace of mind. Due to overwhelming demand, iStab is currently only available in the US. The worldwide launch is expected to happen some time in July.
