Belkin TuneTalk shi with FauxPod

If you ha en to find a Belkin TuneTalk Stereo under the menorah this week or under the tree next week, you might be a bit surprised when you open it, as I was -- for a moment I thought the Belkin-elves had mistakenly sli ed a test iPod into the packaging, or po ibly that my wife had co ected hers to the TuneTalk while I wa 't looking.

After the moment of mystery cleared, I was mildly impre ed with the quality of the cardboard "FauxPod" that Belkin put in the package; presumably this is to let you know exactly where you can stick your TuneTalk. It's still a waste of ace and paper, but at least it's an attractive one.

[Not to keep you gue ing: the real iPod is on the left, turned off.]
