I would have posted about this sooner had I run across it sooner. This deal ends today - December 20th. Buy.com offers Cables To Go’s iPod retractable travel kit for $50. The kit includes a retractable sync and power cable with USB and Firewire ports, retractable earbud headphones (which look like they take up more room than non-retractable ones would), an A/C adapter and a car power adapter. No FM transmitter or cassette adapter. It’s compatible with dock connector iPods - fourth and fifth generation models, the iPod nano, video iPods and photo iPods and the U2 iPod. You can find out more about it at Cables To Go’s web site.

Buy.com is offering a $25 rebate on these cables. To qualify for the rebate, you have to place your order by the end of December 20th (I’m not sure which timezone) and mail in the rebate form. Eventually you should get a $20 check back in the mail.

You can then take advantage of Google’s $20-off-$50-orders at Buy.com by using Google Checkout to pay. Choose free shipping and you’ve done that and you get the rebate you’ll the iPod travel kit for $5.

Buy.com is also offering Cables To Go Port Authority 2 Mobile Office Cable Kit under similar terms; you can get it for an end result of $5. Check it out on Cables To Go’s web site. It includes retractable USB Cables, firewire cable, RJ11 cable, optical mouse and 4 port USB hub. Unfortunately, everything is USB 1.1; it would be a lot more interesting to me if it were USB 2, but still, $5 for all those cables and mouse and hub is a pretty good deal if you need it.

And, if you click through to buy.com via Ebates, you’ll get a 1% kickback on the invoiced price, which will be a few more pennies back.
