From the page: "AT&T will allow 1st-generation iPhone owners to continue using their now old-'n'-busted phones as Wi-Fi enabled iPods -- basically glorified iPod Touches -- after they purchase the iPod 3G."

From the page: "Every time you glance down at your Apple iPod to scroll through your music collection, much of the data you are presented with comes from Gracenoteâ€s massive database of artists, song titles, and other text and metadata. When you search for music in Appleâ€s iTunes client, the results are largely based on data from Gracenote.

As we reported back in January, Season Pass subscribers who paid to download a full season's worth of their favorite shows last fall found that the three-month-long writers strike had cut into the number of shows they were actually receiving.

From the page: "Apple Inc.'s new iPod Touch is a revolutionary device, much like its iPhone cousin. It offers in one svelte package a host of cool features, everything from Web browsing over Wi-Fi to VPN access and a host of enterprise-useful apps. Sure, you can listen to music, but there's also a practical side, the side that makes it a perfect tool for business. (I know what a lot of you are thinking: In your dreams. Just stick with me a minute.)"

From the page: "Energizer today announced the Energi To Go Portable Power For iPod (website not yet updated with product information), an external battery-based power source for fourth and fifth generation iPods (and presumably the most recent iPods as well) that works via a dock connector."
