- I’m Going to Miss the iPod Click Wheel
I prefer the older iPods for listening to music in the car, because a touch screen is a horrible interface for pause/play or skip while driving.
- Location, Location, Location
As near as I can tell, all they sell are iPod/iPhone accessories. But they’re right across from the Apple Store.
- Starting the Week with Weird Al
Starting shuffle with a Weird Al song? Fun. 2 in a row? Odd. By the third song I was getting suspicious.
- All it Needs is an iPod
Seriously: this Starbucks VIA stand-up looks like it could use an iPod.
- iPod Thoughts
If I had to replace my iPod, what would me options be? Comparing the iPod Classic, iPod Touch, G1, or getting a used iPod.

Best thing about Snakes on a Plane was the Cobra Starship song at the end. Thank you, iPod for reminding me!
- Looking back: Slashdot on the iPod Launch

Apple has removed the footnote from its iPod shuffle product page. Sure, the comparison to a pack of gum is still there, but I guess enough people thought […]
- I shall call it…Mini Mac
Holy crap, ThinkSecret was right about pretty much everything. Apple has just announced a $499 miniature Macintosh. Daring Fireball had suggested the price might be unrealistic, given what happened with the iPod Mini announcement last year (ThinkSecret predicted $100, it turned out to be $250, and the audience was underwhelmed because their expectations were set […]
- Cry me a river
So Apple is ticked off at Real’s reverse-engineering to let people buy music from Real and play it on an iPod. Apple has threatened DMCA sanctions and all but promised to deliberately break it in the next software update. Excuse me? In general I like Apple, but their insistence on locking the iPod to iTunes […]
