The world is getting bigger and the Apple iPod shuffle just keeps getting smaller. The newest teeny-weeny iPod shuffle (2nd generation) is so small that it could easily fit into that second pocket of your jeans. You know the pocket we’re talking about? The one that’s at the top of your actual pocket, perched near your belt, waiting for you to find a use for it until you satisfy its hungry mouth with a quarter? That’s the one. It can totally fit into that pocket.
Apple iPod Shuffle Price Cut
Don’t say Apple hasn’t every done anything nice for you. The company announced today that it was cutting the price of its 1-gigabyte iPod Shuffle — to a surprisingly cheap price. We say surprisingly because it’s not often that the words “cheap” and “affordable” go with the word “Apple.”
Unless you’re buying an actual apple, of course.
BenQ’s MusiQ Competes With iPod, Wins With Hipness
The market is so oversaturated with mp3 players, we only try to report on the very strange — luckily, BenQ is making our job a whole lot simpler. Unlike the thousands of iPod dopplegangers (we’re looking at you, Zune), BenQ’s MusiQ, while no better named than the other ones, is unique beyond all measure — after all, it’s the world’s first dog-tag Mp3 player.
iPod Video Carries Windows Virus, News Surprises No One
Apple has warned Window users that a small number of video iPods — less than 1% — contain a virus. The virus does not, of course, affect Apple computers, but it does burrow its way into the Windows security settings and lower them — which, for Windows users, is kind of like catching a cold when you’re used to catching syphilis — we’re just not impressed by you, RavMonE.exe.
Viewsonic VX1945wm - Ipod Dock and Monitor

Apple Announces New iPods And More, Blankets World in White
Everyone’s favorite slightly-crazy CEO, Steve Jobs, opened Apple’s “It’s Showtime!” special event today by showing the new Bob Dylan iTunes that was recently advertised on television — he went on to announce a slew of new Apple gadgets, improvements and programs. The event, undoubtedly watched in paralyzing fear by Apple’s competitors, began with Jobs praising, well — just about everything that Apple has done, telling the crowd in the most charming, pleasant way possible that his company was slowly taking over the world.
Hi-Fi Stereo For iPod, Users iXcited
We’re as tired of iPod accessories as the next guy — but we couldn’t resist introducing Logitech’s new entry into the over-saturated iPod accessory market with its new, Hi-Fi Stereo they are calling the, “Audiostation.” We know what you’re thinking — where’s the lowercase “i” in the product name? We’re as shocked as you — but, we will assume that Logitech is trying something different, something daring, something so hip it’s retro — and we like it.
iJackets and iShoes To Make World iBetter
In a never-ending quest to put iPods everywhere, shoe and clothing makers are in a self-proclaimed race to put music in places you would never think of finding it — from basketball shoes that pump out Pink Floyd to jackets with iPod controls and Bluetooth — manufacturers are intent on providing us entertainment wherever we go, taking a brave first step into making our lives that much more similar to a musical.
InvisibleSHIELD Protects Invisibly
hieldzone, a company that sounds like a mix of virus protection software and the name of a futuristic star ship, fairly recently launched a line of “invisible” film that serves to protect laptops, cellphones, iPods, PDA’s, GPS systems — you name it, if it has a screen, then Shieldzone’s product — invisibleSHIELD will protect it.
iCoustic Guitar Blows iPod Toilet Out Of The iWater
Who could forget the iCarta — a piece of technology so grand and so mind-blowing that you need toilet paper to use it, a product so powerful that to outdo it seemed completely impossible — until now. At a convention called NAMM (as in the meeting of musical gear manufacturers and retailers — not the Vietnam War as said by a 63 year old grizzled war veteran) held in Austin, Texas in mid-July, a company called iCoustic Guitars introduced a product that blows the iCarta out of the proverbial toilet water, a product called, quite originally, the iCoustic Guitar.
