Comp Geeks has all sorts of generic-brand iPod cables for cheap: http://www.geeks.com/products.asp?ca...PodAccessories Those retractable ones look cool.

I don't have any numbers right here, but I recall that Firewire is 400Mb/s stream, and USB2 is 480 Mb/s burst, giving Firewire the edge for file transferring. I also recall that ev…

I just got it at my local apple store. They didn't have any display models, but I decided to risk it and see what the new blue looks like. I'm very imprssed. The new blue is stu…

I'm happy that the iPod mini doesn't have a color screen or any other stuff that you don't need. I prefer 18 hour battery life over the capability to view photos. If I wanted to s…
