Backstage: In the queue and making plans
Currently in the review queue:
DLO New TransPod: We’re working on a review of DLO’s new TransPod, including some comparison references to the version most people are familiar with.
Power Support Swivel Fix Stand: The review’s done, along with reviews of Power Support’s Silicone Jackets. We’re just waiting to post.
Secret Item: Something we can’t discuss yet, but want to. Hopefully soon.
This might be the right time to take requests - anything you guys would like to see reviewed? Written about as a feature?

I’d like to see some reviews on the emerging 4th gen cases… Especially any leather ones.

i’d like to see an article on the “best of” iPod software and iPod scripts. Something like this was done before, but it would be cool to see an updated “lastest and greatest” feature.

I agree with Ben, I’d like to see some reviews of iSkin’s and ####’s new cases for 4G ipod. I know they are same design as their older cases, but i’d like to know how much they hinder the ease-of-use of the Click Wheel, if you can dock with the cases on etc.

seems that as of today (26th), you are out of things to review in your queue. Except, of course, for the ‘secret item.’ Come on guys, give a hint.

1. Organize reviews by grade, for example what are the top ten cases? In order.
2. Reviews on high end earphones: Shure 1 and 5. Etymotic 6, Bose Triport
3. Ipod hacking. (What a cliche’) Ipod filesystem info, Hardware specs. Reverse Engineering notes!
4. Regularly Announce That you have a secret, and then don’t share it!
