iPod Accessories and iPod in the Car

As part of my recent purchase from Apple, I got a free iPod (rebate still pending). The other day I started browsing items I could accessorize my iPod with. The natural place to start would be Apple's online store. In taking a quick glance, I saw that many of the cheaper items start around $19.00 (USD). For instance, they charge that for a cheap lanyard that cost less than $1 (again USD) to produce. What is up with that major markup?

A few days ago I hooked my iPod up to my car stereo. It rocks! And, I didn't have to use an FM transmitter, which starts at 34.95. But, I did have to buy an adapter, one that costs roughly the same, to convert RCA to IP Bus that plugs into my Pioneer Deck. Now I have my entire music collection everywhere I drive.

I'm just posting to say the iPod is great, however I'll never buy an iPod Accessory. The prices aren't worth it. I can get by without socks for iPod. If anybody has a place for cheaper iPod Accessories, please post them.
