Tip of the Day
To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

I just wonder what sort of situation you're going into where that would be appropriate? either you're very clumsy or you live in south central and wear body armor.
the iPod as is, is already pretty tough. Trust me on this, it will survive a 4 foot fall into a muddy puddle just fine. Just be quick to grab it up.

Looks awsome!!!... but maybe it's missing a little bit of padding inside for that precious iPod photo...

i'm not sure why you are using google translation...its a terrible translation service....i used sherlock's translation....and it made perfect sense except for the first paragraph which i believe is due to the slang and grammar
