iPods Are A Danger When Used By Careless People

As far as I am concerned, this is right up there with warning labels on hot coffee. Anyone STUPID enough not to realize that inserting small noise making devices into your ears, then turning up the volume too loud is bad for you, is a waste of space.
Ear buds can indeed be used safely, you [...]

Apple Destined To Become A Giant In Mobile Gaming?

Have to admit, this does present a strong argument for Apple being seriously interested in diving feet first into the portable gaming market. And i their minds, what better way to get their than with the iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch onward?
The problem is that others have previously tried and failed. The Nokia N-Gage is one example [...]

iMill Or TreadPod?

Have to say, not in a million years would I have seen this one coming. Apparently Apple is giving some strong thought (or a patent, anyway) to building up a treadmill with an iPod at the center of its reason for being.
Realizing just how insane this must sound, you have to admit that there is [...]

Apple Is Not Mr Nice Guy Anymore

Remember when Apple was friendly and cool? Well, it is still cool… but sadly it is also about as friendly as a car wreck. So much so, that articles such as this are calling it the new Microsoft.
Where I part company with the above linked article is not so much how it is no longer [...]

VoIP For The New iPod Touch?

Imagine having full on VoIP access not on your iPhone, but with your iPod Touch. Interesting, no? As it is really dumb in my book to bother with Skype on a device that already has a means of placing cheap phone calls without the app, Skype on an iPod Touch actually makes more sense to [...]

Fiery iPods Are No Problem For The Flame Retardant

Love your iPod Touch? How much love for it would you have should it decide to explode in your pocket? Okay, at the very least — how about a nasty burn? These are some of the questions being asked after reading this report from a Seattle based TV station.
Despite talking about the iPods overheating here [...]

Exploding Nanos Prompt Korean A Recall

Holy exploding iPods, Batman! Apparently the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards has requested a recall of first generation iPod Nanos as having them explode on the end user is really not very good for the common good.
While this is hardly the first time we have seen portable products such as these having an issue [...]

Apple Does Fairly Well Despite Poor Economy

Seems like I am seeing a lot of mixed signals these days. First I was hearing that Apple is not doing all that great with the Mac sales. Yet now I am hearing that despite the sales slump, things are not all that bad really. In truth, guess when you look at the numbers, things [...]

And The iPod Wins Over SanD

I am among the first to admit that SanDisk makes some pretty good stuff. Some of my best Flash drives have the SanDisk name seen right on the top of them. But trying to take on Apple and the iPod proved to be a costly lesson for SanDisk.
Despite the company doing alright in comparison to [...]

Next iPod Nano Getting A Camera

I sure hope the info in this latest rumor is off. Because let me tell you, the idea of a camera in an iPod Nano is just not really worth it. Yes, I can see the value of it in the iPhone, but for an iPod Nano - really, who cares!
As one of the commenters [...]

Sony Finally Opens Up

Sony is sniffing glue again apparently, as they once again visit the land of “too little, too late”. It seems that in a sudden vision of the obvious, they are seeing the errors of their ways with DRM and in turn, ridiculous amounts of control over their provided content.
The best example of their “change of [...]

iPod shuffle 1GB MP3 Player 2nd Generation

Do you remember when the first generation of iPod shuffles were called small? When Apple’s designers were dreaming up the iPod shuffle 1GB MP3 Player 2nd Generation, they had one thing on their minds: how can we make this small and compact 1GB player even smaller? The next step in the shuffle generation is 1/3 [...]

Prolonging iPod Battery Life Tips

iPod from our chat room writes:
I have some tips on keeping your iPod battery alive as long as possible (because we all hate the day where we have to replace it).

Dont keep your screen too bright! 50% brightness is a decent level. You don’t need it at a high level just to listen to music, [...]

How Microsoft Forced Me to Buy an iPod

Browsing the Apple section on Digg, I came across this interesting entry describing how Microsoft’s lack of competence forced the author to buy an iPod rather than a Zune:
“It’s been over 7 years since I got my first MP3 player. I started with the 6 GB Nomad Jukebox back in 2000. Upgraded to the 40 [...]
