Call it the iPod bandwagon, if you will, but these days everyone is out to make a quick buck off iPod accessories. It's so out of control that Apple is going after any brand that has the words "pod" in its name. But I think that's a huge mistake. Apple should be going after anyone adding that small "i" before it. That's what gets our attention. It's intriguing where you'll find an iPod on someone these days. Maybe that's why airport security has those new X-ray machines that detect the smallest gadget on your body.

So let's count the ways in which you can hide an iPod on that rock-hard, chiseled bod. You could just put it down your pants, but how will you reach the click wheel? I have a better idea.

Here are the top 10 iPod wearables of 2006, especially made so you can hide and control your precious 'Pod:

1. iGroove panties: It's been a hot summer, and fewer clothes are better. But how will you hold your iPod? Look sexy this summer in a pair of lacy iGrooves that include a pocket for an iPod Nano. Were these designed for Paris?

2. Nike Plus: I'm all for tracking my workouts, even if they are far and in between. The Nike + iPod Sports Kit is a must-have for athletic types, and they also include a supertrendy line of iPod wearables. They're hot!

3. iBoxers: Had Tom Cruise been wearing these boxers in Risky Business, he'd be the poster boy for the sexy iBoxers. These underpants have a special pocket on the side so that you can slip your iPod, put on your shades, and slide across the floor. Let's just hope they have a strong waistband; otherwise, you'll be putting on the wrong kind of show, know what I mean?

4. iSoundcap: Look Ma, no wires! The iSoundcap may not get a fashion vote from those style connoisseurs at Vogue, but let's face it, America is ready to ditch the wires, so we'll try anything once. Even if it looks like this.

5. The Power Pouch: Not quite the iPod bra you've been waiting for, but this sports bra has a front compartment to hold an iPod during your workout. May not be suitable for running. Ouch!

6. Tunebuckle: Hold your pants and use that buckle as an aluminum iPod case. Now, why didn't we think of that?

7. iPod Gym Sports Jacket: Armbands not required. The jacket sleeve holds your iPod or RAZR phone, and you can even get the matching iPod Bootleg pant so that you can lose the jacket when you start breaking a sweat at the gym.

8. Levi's Redwire DLX Jeans: All right, so I may have dissed the soon-to-be-released "iJeans" a little, but who are we kidding? That's not going to stop you from running out to get a pair of the first and most complex Levi's jeans with integrated iPod controls. Levi's thought of nearly everything when it created these jeans, except for that one important factor: style. D'oh!

9. Thomas Pink Tie: Don't be deceived by the sports coat; chances are he also likes to wear his MP3 player. The Thomas Pink tie can hold an iPod Nano on a hidden pocket on the back, and it features a small fabric loop to keep the headphone wires out of sight. Not only is he smart, but he likes to rock out.

10. iShirt: There are many iShirts, but this one deserves a mention. It's cute, it's plain, and it actually uses the iPod Shuffle to spell something. Clever!

I bet you can come up with our own list and not even repeat a single item listed here. That's just how overstocked the world is of iPod wearables. So do you wear your iPod? On your head, on your body, or in your underwear? Let me know if you're one iPod-crazed fan who needs his iPod always by his side.
