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.

Fred, the living ipod is being chased by a hoard of RIAA-bots! Fred activates his TTS (Torrent Tracking System) and the Creative Common bots arrive in the nick of time to save the day!

This is *exactly* the type of product that shows the mentality of Mac-users; i.e. why PC users think computers are tools and Mac users thing computers are members of the family.
I know corporate sysadmins who would literally rather die than have one of these on there desk. I don't own an iPod and I'm tempted to purchase one just *SO* I could have one of these on my desk.

The "sits while docked" part is kind of freaking me out...

It's love at first sight! If only I had a regular iPod and not this Mini and Shuffle...
What I'd love to do to iGuy is hollow out the arms (or just cut out the bottoms) and feed two small headphone earpieces through.

Uh, you do realize that without a dock this guy can't "do his business?"
In other words, look at the specs and realize that you can dock your iPod while in this skin.
Then realize what he/she/it will be doing on the dock.
OK, back to work.

I emailed the company and they said an iPod mini version is coming in June. I can't wait!

Just go to the site and look and the pictures, and you'll see it!

I've been trying to pretend I don't want one of these... but I can no longer hold back. I need one of these. I have no idea why, but I'm being drawn to it. It's calling me.
I can see the bumper sticker now "My iGuy can kick your Honor Students Ass".
