The Different Ecommerce Habits Of Men
And Women 11/10/2003 11:02 PM
A pair of unrelated studies suggest that online shopping habits of men and women really don't sound all that different from the offline shopping habits of men and women. The first study found that men are more likely to go online for larger purchases. The article suggests that men are bigger online shoppers than women, but the details show they're really talking about more expensive items. Meanwhile, the article about the other study suggests that it's actually young women who are doing the online shopping. However, again, when you look at the details, they're really talking about who's shopping at cosmetics sites, jewelry sites, and clothing sites, to which I think most people would respond with a big "well, duh!" Basically, the two studies show that most people seem to shop the same way offline as they do online.

Listening

Listening 12/06/2003 04:32 PM
I’ve written before about how listening is the most important skill a software developer can have.

One part of listening is the art of listening to feature requests.

Sometimes you get a feature request that describes a problem and proposes a solution that’s right on the mark: all you have to do is implement it. Sometimes you get a feature request that’s just about right, and with a little modification and back-and-forth you end up with the right thing.

And other times you get feature requests that describe a problem but propose a solution that’s not right. So the art here is listening to the problem. Sometimes it’s not always plain, you have to figure it out (often by asking questions of the person who made the request).

For example: think about how Exposé must have come about. Users made requests about ways to find a given window easily when you have a bunch of windows open. I imagine people suggested solutions like a system-wide window menu.

But what Apple did in this case was listen to the problem rather than specific solutions, and they came up with a solution that probably nobody had asked for—but that works wonderfully (and that, as a bonus, delights people who use it).

Not every feature request will be solved so dazzlingly. Most requests are for small problems with simple solutions. But it’s worth keeping Exposé in mind as an example of the art of listening.

Jas on Snell describes a new feature of the iPod, where the music will automatically pause when you pull out your headphones from the iPod.
The world is now waiting for Apple to invent a new headphone which can detect whether you are listening to your tunes.
Imagine: you are grooving to your iPod, a phone ring, you pull out the headphone from your ears to attend to the phone, and the music automatically pauses. After the phonecall, you put back the headphone, and the music automatically re-start from where you left off. Cool, isn't it?

Know what you're listening to

Know what you're listening to 12/02/2003 01:23 AM
It's becoming increasingly difficult to know exactly what it is you're listening to on the radio now that DJs almost never announce the names of the songs they're playing (though, there are a few different services that can help, like Shazam, which sadly isn't out here yet, not to mention satellite radio, which usually includes track information). Anyway, if you want to be able to look at your radio and know exactly what it is that's playing, there's a new tabletop radio/CD player from Cambridge SoundWorks called the SoundWorks Radio CD 740 which uses Radio Data Service information to display the song title and artist of whatever it is your listening to on the radio. Almost certainly something that is going to start showing up in more and more radios. Read [Thanks, Kit]...

Perhaps here's something the brand new iPod division in Apple can ponder on... invent a headphone / earphone that is aware when the user has it on the ears.
This is so that the iPod / iTunes / RealPlayer / Windows Media Player can automagically sense that the user has removed the headphone from the ears, and can proceed to pause the current tune / audiobook / broadcast for the user.

Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

“While I’ve had my share of techno devices and toys (including an original iPod),” writes David Kirkpatrick for Fortune, “it wasn’t until someone gave me an iPod shuffle last week that I fully joined the new digitized masses. It’s giving me new insight into how technology is changing our daily lives...With the iPod shuffle, it’s infinitely easier for me to live in a world of music. In the first five days that I’ve owned it, I’ve listened to about three times as much total music as I would have otherwise.” [Mar 24, 2005]

Om Malik points out that he's lost two iPods in two days to the iPod updater. I just got my 3G 40GB back from the shop and updated with no problems today, but basically, keep a sharp eye -- there may be a problem.

This is unrelated to the fuzzy playback issues some people have been reporting, as well. I trust that Apple will fix the problem if there is one, but of course they'll have to acknowledge there is actually a problem first. Om took his iPod mini to the Apple store in San Francisco and swapped it out for a new one, but that still doesn't mean no one else will have a problem. Basically, be aware, scouts.

iPod language app limited to newer iPods

iPod language app limited to newer iPods 07/11/2004 05:32 PM
A few weeks ago, Xeni posted about Talking Panda, an iPod application containing hundreds of common words and phrases in your choice of three languages. It seemed like a great deal for $10, so I bought the French version. (I'm going to be spending several months in Paris in the fall.) The bummer though is that for some reason, Talking Panda requires iPods with firmware v2.0 or later. It won't run on the first or second-generation iPods (like mine). Basically, if you bought your iPod before May 2003, you're out of luck. I emailed info@talkingpanda.com and developer Bob Ippolito responded right away:

"The iPod 1.x firmware is simply not capable of using Talking Panda. You can either purchase a new iPod, give the software to a friend as a gift, or I can offer you a refund of $8. Unfortunately it costs us $1 for each transaction (once for sale, once for refund), so I can not offer you a full refund."

The $2 loss won't kill me and, besides, it's my own fault for not reading the system requirements on the Talking Panda site. But I am annoyed disappointed that I can't use the software! It sounds like a useful application and I wish there was a way to get it to run on my iPod. Or that Bob would develop a version that does. Link

UPDATE: Bob writes...

"You should ask Apple, not me. The revision 1 and 2 iPod hardware is technically capable of doing the things that the newer iPods do, at least in this case, but they simply have chosen not to add the functionality to the older firmware. If you want to do cool new things with the Notes functionality, you simply need to buy a new iPod. Seriously, there is no possible way for me to do anything for older iPods, short of developing a new firmware image myself and having the users void their warranty and lose iTunes integration! The iPod firmware is an extremely closed environment and I was lucky that I was able to get the kind of integration that I did."

The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be)

The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be) 07/19/2004 08:14 PM

stevenberlinjohnson.com

July 19, 2004

I'm a little disappointed with the new iPods, currently gracing the cover of this week's Newsweek. Not because they'll do anything to interrupt Apple's brilliant financial roll, but because they don't really solve any problems that I'm currently looking to have solved. My two AirPort Express units arrived a few days ago, and so I've been tinkering with a true wi-fi audio network in my house for the first time. Part of that experience has been amazing: I've got digital optical line-ins delivering music to my living room speakers from the G5 upstairs in the study. For the first time, I can think about a single hard drive holding my entire music collection, and serving songs out to whatever speakers in the house need them. (Until now I've been shuffling songs on and off the iPod, and then hooking it up to the stereo manually.) So that much is fabulous. The problem is -- as others have noted, including some Apple execs themselves -- I don't have a remote. I'm downstairs in the living room listening to music streamed from the upstairs computer, which sounds cool on paper, but then you actually sit down to listen and realize you have to walk up the stairs to press pause, much less change the music.

Given that this iPod announcement was coming right on the heels of the Airport Extremes shipping, I was hoping that the new models might address the issue. Because what I need now in my iPod is not more storage space, or Mini-style color designs -- what I need is wi-fi. I want my iPod to double as an audio remote control when I'm sitting in my living room. I want to be able to call up any song on any computer in home network, and direct it to any set of speakers, right from the iPod scrollwheel. If the song's stored on the iPod itself, fine. But I should also be able to co-ordinate the transfer of songs from the upstairs G5 to the downstairs Airport Express from the iPod as well.

Yes, it would cost more money to integrate wi-fi into the iPod, and cut down battery life as well. But I'd happily pay a premium to have one small device that could control the entire music network, and battery life doesn't matter so much if the unit is just triggering the transfer of files from one wi-fi client to another, and not participating the transfer itself. Like many people, apparently, my wife and I have already decided that it makes economic sense to have a regular iPod for normal music listening, and a mini for super-mobile music settings (jogging mostly.) I can easily imagine making the decision to add a third iPod to the mix: the home audio remote -- short on storage and battery life, but long on wi-fi. (And yes, I'm aware that there are several third-party products that can do variations of this already.)

And of course, anyone who buys one of these wi-fi iPods will inevitably end up shelling out the cash to buy at least one Airport Express unit, for the sheer giddy pleasure of whipping out your iPod in the kitchen and putting a song on the upstairs stereo. Most of these people will be Windows users, of course. At that point, they'll have their music software built by Apple, their wireless network built by Apple, and their portable music device built by Apple. How much more do you need before you start thinking about having your operating system built by Apple as well?

Turn your iPod into a universal remote

Turn your iPod into a universal remote 07/27/2004 11:04 AM
This week's Engadget HOWTO is a project to turn your iPod into a universal remote.

How did we do this? Basically, we “recorded” the “sounds” an infrared remote makes on a PC and then put them on an iPod as songs. Adding a special sound-to-IR converter then turns those sounds back to IR and allows you to use your iPod as a remote control. As an added bonus, it works up to 100 feet. It’s a slick all-in-one unit and we’re never going back to 6 remotes ever again.
