No they sell more than belkin but not much. Just look here: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71002/wo/Wf4pkCGAFUSP2ax4Zo8210aFb3e/0.0.7.1.0.5.21.1.3.1.1.0.0.1.0

I bet apple has an agreement or something with them. It is common for companies to team up to release products that are made for eachother. I think this is why apple wont release the updated firmware to allow the griffin itrip to work

The Apple store seems to have various cases for the 3G iPod from different companies, they also have the NaviPod remote which is not from Belkin... Also although not related exclusively for the 3G iPod, the Apple store does not carry the Belkin audio cassette adapter, but rather the Sony brand instead.

If you want them to carry something you tell them! You have forgotten, you control the show and you only give that position up when you give up. ?Don't have, wellll ok? instead ?don't have, why in the hell not! Does you store cater to us or are you living on some other planet. You have the power.

How so? I thought the itrip works perfectly fine with the whole sound programming system.
