An odd confluence of events took place over the past few days. First, my Mac mini died suddenly and without warning last week (which left me Mac media-less since I don’t keep media on my Macbook). My iPod touch arrived on Monday. Then, Microsoft announced the new Zunes yesterday. My 1st generation Zune doesn’t have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My 16GB iPod touch arrived yesterday. Since I’m probably among the last of the mobile enthusiasts who got a touch (even though I pre-ordered it the day it was announced), I’m not even going try to write a mini-review. However, as a Windows Mobile enthusiast, I thought other Windows Mobile users might find a couple […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My iPod touch is still wandering around in FedEx-land. But, I was able to use my daughter’s iPod touch for a few minutes to help her set up WiFi access. I found it nearly impossible to type on the screen keyboard in portrait mode. The lack of tactile feedback from a physical keyboard is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Apple’s… iPod touch Support …website went live. And, according to Engadget, units are showing up in Apple stores. My unit still hasn’t shipped. So, I guess I won’t be playing with one as soon as those you who are buying off the shelf. In the meantime, however, the 85 page iPod touch manual is available […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I said in the video that is it 12 or 13 years old. However, according to Wikipedia, this model was released in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today, with the introduction of the iPod touch, I got my wish.. or at least part of it. Here’s what’s missing from the iPod touch when compared to the iPhone… […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I saw the ViewSonic VX2245wm 22″ Widescreen LCD Monitor with Integrated iPod Dock in a store the other day and, after thinking about it, was surprised that other display manufacturer’s had not built something like this before. It has a built-in iPod dock charger and built-in speakers (with sub-woofer) to let you listen to your […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Way back on May 11, 2006 (forever in Internet time), I posted a blog item on the MacDevCenter asking… Cause for iPod nano Spontaneous Reset? Although the cause of the problem is now known and resolved, this blog item continues to attract questions from people with, apparently, all kinds of iPod issues. It doesn’t seem […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Belkin iPod TuneBase FMÂ has been out for more than a year. But, I just picked one up today. It has a lot of advantages over the Belkin TuneCast that I used a couple of years ago. The TuneBase (pictured to the left) plugs into a car power adapter (AKA cigarette lighter) while the TuneCast […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An anonymous blogger posted his/her(?) solution to sync a multitude of software, services, and devices that don’t normally speak to each other (e.g., Outlook and iPod) in a post titled: The Holy Grail of Synchronization: How to synchronize Microsoft Outlook (multiple locations), Google Calendar, Gmail, iPod, and mobile phone with Funambol / ScheduleWorld
