About iPods
Did I mention I love my iPods? I got a “regular” iPod and a Shuffle which I use pretty much everyday. With the FM transmitting iTrip, I listen to my music while driving to and from work, especially when Rory Wild is on vacation. The Shuffle accompanies me during workouts.
A few other developments on the iPod front. Although I don’t have a Nano, there’s an iTrip for the Nano so Dr. Tall can listen to his podcasts and audiobooks while driving. I also came across an FM receiver for the iPod when you want to listen to FM radio broadcasts.
Ars Technica has yet another article about getting video onto the new video iPods. Covers both Mac and Windows tools.
And oh yeah, you don’t need an iPod to listen to music purchased via iTunes. You can listen to this music on your computer or burn CDs for your car stereo. Buying music from iTunes couldn’t be any easier or faster. Instead of buying the CD from the store, I purchased the new collection of Destiny Child’s #1’s greatest hits from iTunes and was listening to it in a matter of seconds. Way easy and convenient.
Thanks Steve Jobs. Speaking of whom…

The video iPod is the 5th generation (5G). There’s a rumor out there that Apple is willing to replace “defective” 5G iPods to appease customers.
The iTrip works fine. Apple pretty much standardized on the dock connector for the iPod, the nano, and the old Mini. Because of this standard connector, majority of the accessories will work with all these models. A good move on Apple’s behalf. There’s a newer version of the iTrip that supposedly works better than my older one. You only can transmit audio using the iTrip of course.

Naw, man, what they mean is that if you use and abuse your video (5G) iPod and then complain that it’s defective, Apple will replace it with no questions to get back that trust from scratched nano screens.
