Six of the best gadgets and gizmos on a theme. This week: iPhone accessories

By Peter Jenkinson

Good news among the gloom for Apple head honcho Steve Jobs: figures just in show that iPhone sales have hit 10 million so far in 2008, three months ahead of schedule.

The results include sales of the original as well as the more recently-launched 3G model, and despite some fierce competition in the shape of the new Google phone and Nokia's N96, it looks like a bumper year for this terrific touch-screen.

Sitting pretty - iPhone Universal dock - £29.00 from www.apple.com/uk Place your iPhone in this cradle and it'll act as the link between your mobile and PC, both syncing your content and charging at the same time.

Plug in an external source such as speakers and you're able to unleash your tunes to a wider audience, and it can all be controlled from a near horizontal position with the included remote.

On the road - In-car bundle - £30 from www.carphonewarehouse.com Play your tuneage through your car-stereo speakers with the FM transmitter while charging up your handset in readiness for the next time you're on the hoof.

The cradle keeps your iPhone in place and not sliding into spaces under your car seats that you never even knew existed.

On the Run - Belkin armband - £5.59 from www.pcwb.com Fitness fans no longer need be concerned that their touch-screen device might not take kindly to a workout, as this Belkin armband keeps it secure while you work up a sweat.

It offers easy access to your handset while it is strapped in place, and is comfortable enough to wear for extended periods - rest assured, this is what iPhone devotees sleep in.

Hold Tight - Griffin FlexGrip - £14.99 from www.iworld.co.uk The marvellous mobile suffers severely in one area: its ability to scratch at the slightest encounter with another surface on both the front and back.

Keep yours looking 'good as new' with this silicone skin, which gives all-over protection but access as normal to all your functions.

Look no hands - Sennheiser FLX 70 - £69.95 from www.apple.com/uk There really is no excuse to get caught chatting at the wheel, bluetooth headsets have come such a long way since those pug-ugly ones that belonged in a drive-through takeaway joint.

This top-end set from the headphone-making supremo is great for blocking external noise from your chatter and offers a comfortable in-ear fit.

Stand Easy - Xtand - £29.99 from www.iworld.co.uk Leaving your iPhone just laying around simply isn't an option when there is the choice of this attractive aluminium stand in which your gadget can sit.

Fully adjustable so you can view your content vertically or horizontally and enjoy those crystal-clear on-screen images.
