iPod Nano (PRODUCT) RED – unpacking photos

We got our grimy little hands on a new (RED) iPod Nano today, as a gift for our lovely wife. But far be it from us to not provide unpacking photos to the masses!

Enjoy, and feel free to ask questions. Of particular note: we were happy to see the tiny Apple stickers and the cool new packing case.

Review: Kensington RDS iPod charger/transmitter

It was with a great deal of interest that I happened upon the new Kensington RDS FM transmitter and charger for iPods. Last week i got a new vehicle, and it was the first one I have owned with the RDS feature.

RDS stands for ‘Radio Data Systems’, and we’ll let Kensingtons blurb define it for us here:
Radio Data Systems (RDS) is a sub-frequency of FM radio, sent along with a normal music signal. It allows text to be displayed on RDS-enabled radios. Song and artist names can scroll across the stereo screen. The Kensington patent-pending RDS FM Transmitter will digitize song information and send it via RDS to a car stereo (along with music). RDS is available in various vehicle models offered by leading automakers.

An open letter to Apple: Please add these iPod features!

Dear Apple.
We’ve owned iPods since the first version. In fact, aside from the Nano, we’ve had one of each generation/iteration to date. We’ve been fairly happy overall with your wonderful little music machine.
However, today we come to you, hat in hand, asking for a feature to be added to the next firmware revision (in particular to the 5th gen video, thanks).
As you know, when a track is playing, you can hit the ‘(c)enter’ button and toggle from song position to ratings to the artwork display screen.
We respectfully request that you add the following set of toggles.
