Apple's all-new iPod range may have rained down upon the planet in a wave of Apple-inspired glory, but members of the 'Made For iPod' consortia may well feel a little like the jilted parties who signed-up to Microsoft's 'Plays for Sure' deal, (which didn't)
What's happened is that the new iPod touch and iPod nano models - fine though they are - are sadly incompatible with some iPod peripherals. What's worse is that the feature manifests itself in the form of many older iPod gadgets being unable to re-charge your Apple music player.
And the devices these new iPods aren't compatible with aren't your common old garde
