The wired lifestyle can mean tangled wires. But it doesn't have to.

Cableyoyo, which last year came out with an award-winning cord management device for reining in cable chaos on the floor or desktop--is coming out with a handy new product aimed at keeping headphone cords in check.

The Cableyoyo Pop, which will be available in April, is a tiny flat plastic cord winder with a suction cup that you can pop onto an MP3 player, cell phone or other device to keep your cords coiled and protected. The product can be kept in your pocket while your gadget is in use, popped on when done or left on the product permanently.

The Pop comes in black or white and measures about 1.5 by 2 by 0.5 inches. It will cost $9.95-ish and ship with accessories including a belt clip and 10 little pop-art decals for personalizing the product.
