iPod Touch unboxing

better for the environment,,, better for most consumers who r happy to charge it via the comp - my 4g u2 ipod came with a charger but it's perpetually tethered to a mac cos the battery's is givin up the ghost

my q bout the ipod touch is - can it play streamed content from a shared itunes library ?

that would be a killer feature for me cos my home library is on a shared drive and i'll try set one up at work in the future

#4: what stand are you talking about? the phone comes with a dock that you can 'stand' the phone on.. I only have a 3g and 5g ipod, did the 1st, 2nd, or 4th gens come with an actual stand?

Not only did the "back when they were still cool" iPod models come with all the cables, docks, and other extravagant bento origami whatsits, they also came with a big CUBE box...

A box that made you feel you'd really got something for your $400, and with more layers to exhume than the archeological dig at Troy.

Now you just get a minimalist little paper card thing with a plastic bag inside.

The sarcophagus that the nanos come in is cool though.

so if they are shipping, does that mean that the iTunes wi-fi store is up??

Yeah, I feel like my 4th gen came with the dock, USB and Firewire, wall charger, headphones, headphone covers and sleeve. 5th gen? headphones, sleeve, and USB ccable. It was a bit of a letdown....

When I got my 4th gen ipod in '04 (which I still have and it works just fine), it came with the goods: wall charger, firewire 400 AND usb 2.0 cables, ...but not the dock. that came w/ the 40gb ipod. and i'm only 16, so that guy's comment that said, "You kids with your iPods and your touching." doesn't imply to that rare group of teen tech guys. =P

doesn't look like you can add events to ical, that was what was removed from the page (I thought), all the headlines were talking about contacts on digg, but I didn't see that removed.

Looks like the ability to edit contacts was there all along, unless the Guide is mistaken.

Just a random Flickr find I think, but If Engadget had taken them, the black (as in Steve Jobs' turtleneck) would have become brown.

Always strikes me as ironic that so-called gadget experts can't take a properly exposed picture to save their lives.

Don't get me started on their tripod-less video footage.

Those are some crappy unboxing pictures. He didn't actually photograph everything. Like, unboxing pics are pretty much worthless anyway, but if you're not gonna go to the trouble of taking pics of everything, you've actually subtracted time from your lifespan without ANY reason.

I'm curious to see what the "stand" that comes with it looks like. I'm kinda pissed that my iPhone didn't come with one. Apple's really making some stupid customer satisfaction decisions lately.
