Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

They are actually called "Norelco boxes," fwiw. No doubt, some ancient Royal Philips Electronics history there.

How is the iPod holding a cassette?
Should be "Cassette case iPod holder" I think.
"Pure genius" until such time as you want to plug your dock cable or headphones into your iPod with Video.

Mephistophelian: agreed on the dock cable, but the headphone jack is at the top.

_That_ is a "case hack?"
Yeah. Right.
No more than shaving is a "face hack."

I guess if you have one laying around try it, but there already are iPod cases with kickstands that will hold your ipod up that also offer protection for your ipod.

great idea. We just tried a DV-mini tape holder. Less wide than regulare music tape holders, so it's a perfect fit for the 5G iPod 30GB!

This may seem pretty lame, but the fact is that I don't think there are any products out there that fill this niche at the moment. A friend of mine has a nice stand for his iPod that allows the dock cable to be plugged in, but it's no longer in production. The only problem here is that I haven't actually seen an audio tape in at least a good five years.

FWIW, worked great with my iPod Mini.
Put it in on it's side, and you can charge it too.

I did not know that people still had tapes. Records and CD's yes but tapes.
