I was a little concerned that no mention was made of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit during today’s introduction of the new iPod nano (known as the “fatty” in some circles). Even Apple’s new iPod nano web page doesn’t mention Nike+iPod integration anywhere.

Apple’s marketing ability never ceases to amaze me.

With the Macworld Conference and Expo just around the corner, I’ve been looking for a good guide to the week’s events that I can carry with me as I push my way through the crowds. As luck would have it, I’ve found two free guides that are formatted for iPod. The Hess Events List and [...]

My computers had stopped recognizing the shuffle for more than a few seconds at a time, which meant that I could no longer sync it to my iTunes library or [...]

You know it’s a slow day in the world of iPod news when the big story that everyone’s linking to is KarmCity’s first person account of running an iPod through the washing machine, and practically killing it… only to have it spring back to life after some quality drying-out time. I guess it’s good to [...]

For those of you who caught wind of the Register’s report yesterday that iTunes music sales were “collapsing,” you may want to pop over to Josh Bernoff’s blog to get a more reality-based version of the story. Bernoff is the source of the Forrester report that sparked this minor panic (shares of Apple stock fell [...]

Macworld announced the winners of their 22nd annual Editors’ Choice Awards yesterday, and the Nike+iPod Sport Kit was among the 29 winners. While that in itself isn’t very surprising, what is surprising is that the Sport Kit was the only iPod-related product to make the list. No shuffle, no nano, not even the toilet paper [...]

Today’s New York Times Book Review features an interesting review of Steven Levy’s new book about the iPod, The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness.
