Apple to Debut New iPod Design
07/18/2004 12:21 PMApple on Monday will unveil a new design for the iPod, which removes
its four control buttons and instead utilizes the pushbutton
scrollwheel found on the iPod mini. The
next-generation iPod features a battery life of 12
hours, new menus, additional playlists, the ability to change song
speed, and a slightly thinner case. Apple will keep the largest iPod
at 40GB for now, but is expected to drop the prices of all models by
$100 USD.

MIRIAM BOON -- Ever
since Apple came out with its iFruit (otherwise known as the iMac),
designers have been grooving off Apple's color palette. The iMac girl
was among the first, a selection of curvaceous and scantily clad anime
chicklets in your choice of iFruit colors. Many a night have I stayed
up restlessly wishing I could have one of them for my very own. Or one
of their costumes, come to think of it.
Now, the iPod Mini has kicked off a new round of third-party
products aimed to emulate the designs blessed by the sainted Steve
Jobs himself. The sex toy industry is no exception, although they seem
to be a bit behind the times. Manufacturer Doc Johnson's iPlug -- a
vibratin', gyratin', stylin' butt plug -- comes in your choice of
iFruit matching colors. Maybe in a year or two, when the industry gets
its head (or something else) out of its butt, we'll see sex toys that
match the iPod Mini. The Audi-Oh vibrator, which vibrates according to
whatever sound it's exposed to, comes to mind as an excellent
candidate.
In the meantime, those of you with fantasies involving iMac girls
with coordinating alien probes: your kink is okay. We just don't want
to hear about it.

feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

What's cooler than hanging with your fellow iPod users on Miami's

iPod mini in your pocket?
Yeah, that probably got your attention. But thanks to event sponsors
iPodResQ, the iPod mini is just one prize among many that we'll be
giving away at the South Beach iPod Garage Party. So what do you have
to do to win? All you have to do is show up with your iPod, connect it
to our sound system, and play "DJ" for twelve minutes as you share the
highlights of your own music library with the rest of us (as many
songs as you like, as long as it fits within the time limit). Yep,
it's your very own twelve minutes of fame.

08/13/2004 07:17 AMGriffin Technology has introduced

for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter
broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a
backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the
charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs
into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its
transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your
computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo.
Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with
other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the
1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

amplifier for better sound quality when connecting the MP3 player to
