very cool!  works fine so far… I don’t agree with some of the lyric interpretations, but that’s nothing to do with your script…

Hehe, M3 is for the guys who cannot afford a E39 M5. 

Atomic Bomb, I can take you for a spin any time.

"The iPod is the modern-day equivalent of the Samurai sword"

I dunno about this portable status symbol stuff, like another person noted I tend to hide mine. It is in a black iSkin case, I really don’t want people at the gym or anywhere else seeing it.  I just got eight bucks for my white ear buds on eBay, perhaps the worst headphones ever.

Lukas: You must have missed the news that Alpine will be inroducing an Ipod compatibile head unit “in the spring.” It won’t work exactly like you have in mind, but a firewire cable can be run to the glove box or center console. Head unit display gives access to all the playlis, artist, album info, etc.

From the rules, it’s 20 oz and 1 litre bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Sierra Mist, along with select 32 ounce lids from 7-11 stores. I usually buy 2 litres of Mountain Dew for the house. *grumble*

Pacific Rim Technologies announces iShield II aluminum case

I just took delivery of my blue one a week ago… Though build quality is not what I had hoped for, everything else more than makes up for having to do some final trimming on the soft stuff inside. I am in the process of making a custom mount for my car (it’s a convertible, so nothing can be visible once I leave) and all the plugs (1/8” and power) go in without a problem. Frankly, I’m in love.

I am betting on (hoping for) A car stereo head unit dedicated to the ipod.  I noticed that Pioneer is making a stab at it at CES but still not quite what I have had in my mind since even before I purchased my ipod.  This single din device should have a flip down detachable face and a ipod slide in dock much like a 8 track player, except it would be a 10,000 track player.  The face plate would flip back up to completely enclose the ipod inside.  If possible a CD player would be great to have, but definitely unnecessary for the first product to market.  It would show all the ipod’s screen information and give complete control from the head unit.  It would obviously have to charge the ipod for the rest of your day.  This was included in the email I sent to Charlie, hopefully I guessed the product exactly and he will include me in the beta just so I will sign the NDC and shut up

“legitamate”, “unforetunately”.
I hope his product is better than his spelling.

I think there are already many products that play video that fit in the palm of your hand. My main concern is why none of the growing number of these cool new toys is made by Apple.

Korean iPod clone released

Korean iPod clone released

wutever, your view of korea seems really narrow.  i’ve been to korea and found it vastly different then what you are projecting.  to say that they “copy” another country is downright hilarious.  are you baseing this on what, culture?  technology?  economics?  politics? 

what sort of fantasy world are you expecting from a nation that climbed out of a third world economy from the end of the korean war to becoming one of the biggest manufacterers of electronics, industrial goods, and automotives.

get a grip you self hating korean-american.

I appreciate the speculation, but as Andy indicated, There are more than one Charlie Bernstein out there.  Congrats to Timmy for finding a White Paper I published years ago.  By the way, it unforetunately has nothing to do with Video, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see future products that can play music videos in the palm of your hand.

yes (i found one or two on google) but a guy that used to be at a tv broadcasters (and wrote on that kinda stuff) and who worked (at a high level) at a mobile company is likely to start something ipod related (on the guise that all three are tech related) and i did say that this only meant that it was possible that video or mobile phones could be united with the ipod
