iPod nano lawsuits moved close to Apple's home

by Jan Kabili (Apr 28th 2006 7:30PM)

One of the few things I remember from law school is a quote from a Charles Dickens story: "The law is an ass." Well here's a case in which someone in the legal system is thinking with his head, rather than the other end. Remember the brouh...

iPod owners actually sue Apple

by Dave Caolo (Oct 21st 2005 2:00PM)

File this one under "completely ridiculous." iPod nano owners have filed a class action suit against Apple Computer over the nano's susceptibility to scratches. Is it just me, or is this like suing Kodak because your photos got fingerprints...

PRIE Ambassador leather iPod nano case

by David Chartier (Sep 21st 2005 9:30AM)

If you fellow nano owners (or soon-to-be owners) are anything like me, you just might be thinking about getting a case for your new 2 or 4 GB baby. I haven't done the case thing in the past when I owned larger 4G and photo models, but with the minor ...

New iPod: Black or White?

by C.K. Sample, III (Oct 12th 2005 4:30PM)

So we've all heard the horror stories about how the black iPod nano scratches like a maniac. I have one. It is rather scratched already, but I also don't really care. I beat the heck out of my gear and I think the scratches add character. Ho...

by David Chartier (Oct 22nd 2005 4:00PM)

In addition to the Lanyard Headphone nano case I received yesterday from Apple, I also picked up Tunewear's PRIE Ambassador leather case, featuring both a removable hook/carabiner system and a belt clip. After playing around with it for a bit I've po...

Apple to introduce iTunes Movie Store, new iMac, iPod nano, and video streaming device?

by Dan Pourhadi (Sep 4th 2006 7:45PM)

Wow, that's a long title. Blame it on AppleInsider, who believes most -- if not all -- of those yummy goodies will be delivered to us in a nice wrapped package by The Jobs himself at next week's supposed media event. According to the rumor peddler, a...

iPod cookies

by Dave Caolo (Nov 3rd 2005 4:00PM)

We came across these iPod cookies earlier today while visiting Engadget. I'm going to guess that, from left to right, they are: iPod mini, 20GB iPod, iPod nano and iPod. The look good, but if you want to make them yourself, be warned: I hear they scr...

Podguard guards your iPod from scratches

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 17th 2005 9:30AM)

Where would our economy be without iPod accessories? And where would iPods be without all that gear to protect them? Podguard feels that lame case Apple has decided to throw in the nano's box isn't cool enough (who can blame them), and came out with ...

by Dave Caolo (Sep 5th 2006 6:00PM)

Ok, folks, it's wild speculation time. The rumors are flying around Apple's upcoming press event. Let's take a detour into fantasy land for just a moment and pretend that all of the supposed goodies come to pass: The new 23 inch iMac, the video-strea...

Apple patent suggests flip iPhone

by Dave Caolo (Mar 25th 2008 9:00PM)

We don't want to use the term "iPhone nano" because we've heard it before, both formally and informally. Yet, it isn't unreasonable to guess that Apple will release additional iPhone models, a small one among them. According to Everything iCafe, Appl...

How anodizing aluminum finishes Apple's products

by Steven Sande (May 29th 2012 1:00PM)

The beautiful anodized aluminum finish on many Apple products keeps them from corrosion, provides a hard and (mostly) scratch resistant surface, and even -- in the case of the iPod nano and shuffle -- a beautiful color tint. But have you ever wo...

The safest iPod on your block

by Dave Caolo (Aug 17th 2006 2:00PM)

I've got an iPod nano, and I'll admit that it almost never, ever leaves its case. While not everyone is as scratch-phobic as I am, I know that I'm not alone. Check out the iTank cases by YoTank. Formed from a single piece of machined aluminum, the iT...
