AppleGeeks: AppleGeeks Lite 260
Whoo, man, I’ve lived that very scene before and with an iPod no less…
It sucks.
Hard.

Zune: Next Generation
c|net: Microsoft has unveiled the second generation of Zune digital music players and will offer consumers 1 million unprotected songs on its online music store.
Finally some news on new Zune devices! Yes, I’m getting this same off at the same time that you are: the Zune team has been extremely quiet on their latest plans, which is one of the reasons why I bought an iPod nano a couple of weeks ago without shame. How do I hold off buying a new player if I don’t know what’s coming? Now that I do know, is it causing Buyer’s Remorse? Not yet – in fact, I’m eying the 80GB Zune rather than the flash-based Zune models, but I’ll have to get my hands on hardware before feeling anything one way or the other.
I do like how c|net takes features specific to the iPod touch and iPhone and applies them to the whole iPod family – means they get a whole bunch of information wrong.

I touch No More
Back it goes. The last straw was the video playback. I made the mistake of looking at The Italian Job clip on a proper iPhone today and noticed two rouge/dead pixels while playing back video on my iPod touch.
Instead I have a very shiny black iPod nano sitting next to me… in fact, I’m prepared to call the iPod touch the loser of the current iPod line up.

The New iPods – Which One Do I Buy?
So the new iPods have hit the street. Er, hit the interwebs, since the stores won’t have stock until the weekend. I haven’t bought a new iPod in a while. A long while. Three years? Maybe. Generation 5. I was given an iPod nano for a gift two years ago – I think that was the last “new” iPod I’ve brought into the house… that means I’m due for an upgrade.
Which model am I going to buy?
Right now, I have to say… none of them.

iPod But Non-XP Users
For those of you that don’t have a Windows 2000 or XP but have an iPod, well, frankly? Upgrade your box. XP is over five years old now, so what’s the deal? Jeesh.
Anyway, it looks like there’s a new plug-in for WinAMP5 that interfaces with iPods… I personally think that Xplay from MediaFour is a better way to go for the 95/98/Me crowd, but I thought I’d pass this along anyway…
iPod, the Second Life
I’ve had gift cards collecting on my kitchen counter for the over a year now. I love the little buggers – hard plastic works out so much better than the old fashioned paper gift certificates (which are easily destroyed). I usually get a bunch of gift cards over the holiday season and I normally spend the first two months of a new year debating on what to buy. Last year I got too busy with work to think about it, which is why I had a surplus that included a mall-based card, a Filene’s card, and an AmEx-certificate. Today I went shopping for slippers.
