Ipod goes fashion

Retro-chic or fancy & stylish - that's the question du jour for Ipod lovers. As part of its spring line, fashion label Gucci is selling a $195 carrying case designed specifically for Apple Computer's popular music player. At that price, the ebony-and-beige, coated-canvas case costs nearly as much as an iPod itself. For those who want to dress down their favorite MP3 player Retropod (pictures) is a must-have. It is a case that hides the iPod inside the outer shell of a 1980s-looking Sony Sport Walkman case. It might be a good deterrent against reported iPod-jackings. But the $100 price tag means retro-chic does not come cheap.
