foofpod.
Aussie Podware manufacturer, foof, that’s right, foof, got a plug in The New York Times a couple of days ago. What do foof do. They “make handmade: foofpods (iPod cover) & foofbags (powerbook or ibook sleeves)”.
The product - foof is a palindromic duplication of Ms. Bury’s nickname, Fo - was a result of the pair’s move to Sydney from Dublin last summer (Ms. Bury is Irish; Mr. Wynter is Australian). They had been making larger bags to hold Apple laptops since June, selling them at foofbag.com.
The initial product was Mr. Wynter’s idea. He, the author of a Mac trouble-shooting book, and she, an unemployed real estate investment worker, hoped it would earn them some much-needed money.
$AU12 plus $AU7.50 postage will get you your own foofpod.
That article was worth it, just to say foof a few times.
