Griffin Technology is a privately held U.S. company founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1989 by Paul Griffin. The company designs and manufactures computer peripherals, consumer electronics, and accessories, the first products being primarily video adapters, in particular those to enable the connection of DB-15 based Macintosh computers to the more popular VGA based monitors of the time. June 1998 marked Griffin's entry into USB based computer peripherals with the introduction of the iMate, a device that allowed the use of Apple Desktop Bus based devices with the newer, and increasingly more... common, Universal Serial Bus . Griffin introduced additional USB devices, such as iMic and PowerMate, over the next two years, and continued to enjoy moderate growth during this period. Griffin was one of the first companies to recognize the potential of Apple's iPod, introducing their first accessories for iPod in January 2002 at the MacWorld held in San Francisco, California. This was just three months after Apple's release of iPod. One year later, at MacWorld San Francisco 2003, Griffin introduced iTrip.
