iPod Evolution: Then and Now
Oh Apple, how can I ever quit you? As much as I love my Apple, I can get a little frustrated when it releases a great product, then comes out with an even better one just a few months later. How can I ever keep up?!
Which Apple Announcement Are You the Most Excited About?
It was a busy day in SF yesterday with all eyes on the "It's Only Rock and Roll" event. Not only did Steve Jobs made his triumphant, black turtlenecked return to the keynote stage after taking time off for his health, but iTunes 9 was introduced, and then there were the iPods. Oh, the video and FM tuner enabled iPods.
Knock Off Gadgets and Goods to Be Donated to the Poor
Last year alone, the US Customs and Border Protection seized an estimated 23 million dollars worth of counterfeit consumer electronics. In addition to knock off gadgets like iPods and TVs, they also seize items including clothing, shoes, household goods, and toys. New York and New Jersey customs checkpoints — both airports and seaports — have decided to emulate other US checkpoint locations by kicking off a program next month to donate the cargo items to the poor in third world countries.

Incipio's iPod Shuffle Wafer Cases Are Good Enough to Eat
It's rare for me to actually describe an iPod case as mouthwatering, but that's exactly what Incipio's Wafer dermaSHOT Case is ($15). Naturally, it's not edible, but it just looks like a delicious treat.
The case, which works only with the iPod Shuffle's latest generation, is available in chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla .

The New iPod Shuffle Earphone Dilemma . . . Solved!
After checking out Apple's teeny and tiny new iPod Shuffle yesterday I must admit that I did ooo and aww a bit, but mainly because of its ridiculously small size. I was picturing myself clipping it on my workout gear and going for runs or walks without having to worry about any cases or complicated contraptions. But wait, what about the earphones with the built-in controls that we all dislike so much?
Womanhandling the New iPod Shuffle
Yesterday Apple announced its tiniest media player to date — the 4GB iPod Shuffle. Well today I cruised on over to the Apple store for some hands-on action with the new device and to test out these easy-access controls we've been hearing so much about — and the ones that most of you aren't very happy about. The actual headphone controls are pretty nifty and useful especially if you want to switch playlists, which you couldn't do with the second generation shuffle.
Do You Like the Shuffle's Controls in the Headphones?
Yesterday's stealthy new iPod Shuffle announcement may have come as a small surprise, but it wasn't unwelcome; it seemed time to update the lightest, cheapest iPod.
While there are definite pluses (the low price, the 4GB storage, the new voice-over technology) you guys, I, and the Internet in general are in an uproar over the controls being in the earbuds.
Break 'em or lose 'em, you've got to get a new set of the earbuds if you want to use the iPod.
