DIE, hard drive iPods, die! Make way for 32GB NAND Flash storage. And then 64GB NAND Flash. Apple has enough sway in the NAND market (it commands about 25% of world supply) to get the prices it needs. (It's German, as in die Bart Simpson, …

Something I was pleasantly surprised about: Gen 1 iPod nano Lanyard Earphones work just fine on the 3rd gen nano. The connector-jack spacing is the same. Both standard lanyard and in-ear lanyard types. These are often being discounted at sho…

Nice work! Kinda like Dave Winer's "rivers" - http://nytimesriver.com/, diggriver.com/, etc - without needing a separate site (multiple bookmarks) for each. Also, Google Reader works pretty nicely if you already have a set of feeds that it col…

Ringtones still work, but you have to change the extension back to .m4a.

You are getting 8 GB. It's just marketing people work in base 10. Computing people work in base 2. A marketing gigabyte = 10^9 = 1,000,000,000 bytes. A computing gigabyte = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. An operating system works with the …

Does anyone know if 1st or 2nd generation (they are different) "lanyard" headphones will fit into this 3rd generation nano? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...ind=MA360G%2FB The Apple accessories page doesn't list 3rd gen compatibility, bu…

I'm going to go out on a shaky limb and say: 32 GB flash and 120 GB hard drive. The 32 GB flash is probably a rash prediction, given that replacement solid state drives for laptops cost more than the most expensive iPod. On the other ha…

For live coverage, several of the better tech orientated web sites do something called "live blogging." That's where the journalists are sitting in the audience with a wireless connection and a camera, and update their page even few mins with wha…

I wonder if it will be another 6.7 GB .dmg download, or a software update a la 9A500n. I guess if 9A527 has substantial changes, the full image. Better unthrottle the bandwidth choke.

The iPhone is great to use one-handed. Over the past month I've found myself doing things like eating with a fork in one hand, and selecting music or podcasts, checking email, checking news sites, scanning Google Maps, and checking out YouTube vi…

If anything 16GB will be the next bump, but Christmas might be a bit soon, especially with NAND supply looking constrained. MacWorld 2008 may be too early too. If there's going to be a new model iPhone each year, like there (sort of) is for the …
