An iPod with a discrete accessory offering serious lighting power makes sense – it’s small, low-bucks (US$30) and very useful when you consider its high-output beam is visible up to several hundred yards away. ..
Blinkit even blinks to the beat of your music.

We recently discovered that a small number – less than 1% – of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006 left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. This known virus affects only Windows computers, and up to date anti-virus software which is included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it. So far we have seen less than 25 reports concerning this problem. The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all Video iPods now shipping are virus free. As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it.

My sense of wonder for the variety of iPod cases continues!
EDIT… added that picture from TUAW. Can iPods survive in this? It’s like a perfect hammering device.

Every stride takes you further when logging your miles means giving to a cause. Introducing Nike+ Group Goals. For every mile you run, Nike donates $1 to a cause. The Nike+ community is currently donating miles three ways—and it’s not too late to join.
It still boggles my mind that I can share my runs with someone else anywhere. Adding fund raisers to the experience is just awesome.

The Perception of ‘Random’ on the iPod
Steven Levy really liked Steely Dan, but so too, it seemed, did his iPod. Like a lot of people, he began to wonder about its shuffle – was the random function really random or a result of dirty tricks, blunders… or even telepathy?
Sometimes, I can also hear the same selections just a few songs apart…

Gadgets on the Go points to an article about an iPod screensaver hack. Personally, the iPod is a device I don’t want to unnecessarily show video. Extra video = extra battery juice drunk or if plugged, means unnecessary screen “burn.” It’s either sleep mode or screen off for me…. just as I do with my Power/MacBook.

We interrupt your late day latte to bring you the news that Starbucks and Apple have brewed a deal that brings the soothing sounds of the Starbucks Hear Music catalog direct to your desktop and/or iPod via iTunes. They’re serious too… there’s an entire Starbucks Entertainment area within the iTunes Store now. Starbucks knows prime real estate when they see it! TUAW
I’ve seen the CD’s in Starbucks but have never really paid attention. I didn’t realize these are quite popular.
