Not too long ago we let you know that Griffin’s latest iTrip would ship alongside an app controller that will be offered on the App Store.

Well, it seems that to make such a thing easier to consumers Apple has snuck in the feature that will allow connected accessories to prompt you if you want to download the associated app, as you can see above. This is compared to having to sort through the seemingly endless list of apps looking for the correct one.

Let’s see what other accessory manufacturers utilize this feature.

Your iPod nano 4G is old enough already to receive a present for you. The Griffin iTrip made by EasyiShop will improve your music experience. The new iTrip will remind you of the previous versions but it will fit perfectly with the new nano.

• Plug iTrip in, press play, tune your radio and away you go.
• SmartScan finds the best FM settings for you.
• SmartSound technology delivers clear audio under real-world conditions.
