A week after former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson's Enzo Ferrari was destroyed on a Californian highway, police have announced that a gun magazine found nearby may be connected to the crash.
According to the LA Times, detectives are attempting to determine whether the magazine is linked to the incident. They are looking to interview a person who they think was in the car with Eriksson - presumably the mysterious 'Dietrich', who Eriksson has previously claimed was driving at the time of the crash.
Sergeant Phil Brooks also told the LA Times that the vehicle was one of two Enzos imported into the US by Eriksson, along with a Mercedes SLR. Brooks said that police have not been able to find the correct papers for the car, meaning it was not "street legal" for driving on Californian roads.
Brooks added that police now believe the car was travelling at 162 miles per hour when it crashed, and not 120 mph as previously reported. The crash occurred when the Ferrari hit a bump in the road, causing it to fly through the air and smash into a power pole.
According to Brooks, officials from the Royal Bank of Scotland informed investigators that the bank may own the crashed Enzo. He also said that detectives are currently attempting to find out why Eriksson's Mercedes SLR had previously been reported stolen to Scotland Yard.
Brooks said that detectives have called Eriksson in for a further interview. The Royal Bank of Scotland declined to offer a statement

If you’re not satisfied with that FM-quality hookup between your iPod and your car stereo, the Scosche BlueLife system can make that happen with Bluetooth. BlueLife includes an iPod transmitter and a Bluetooth receiver, and the company suggests that you buy multiple receivers so that you can wirelessly connect that iPod to your car stereo and your sound system at home, too.
The only catch is you’ll need to dig down and hook up the Bluetooth receiver to your car stereo’s wiring. But the reward is digital streaming audio with what the company calls CD-quality sound. Now available for $200.

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) is now shipping TransDock Micro, an iPod charger and adapter that uses FM to link your iPod to your car radio. Nothing new there, but the TransDock can also charge up other USB devices such as the Motorola RAZR, offers four preset stations, and works with all the iPods including the shuffle.
Plug the unit into your car’s cigarette lighter, and you can connect another device such as a portable DVD player or PSP into its auxiliary input, letting you play that audio through the car stereo, too. Not bad for $70.

AppleInsider has the goods on a survey distributed this week by market research firm Coyote Insight, which digs for input related to a potential “iTunes movie service.” The fictional video download service described early in the survey would provide access to “1,000 movies on-demand” which can either be downloaded to your computer and then to your “video iPod” or played-back to your TeeVee if connected to your computer. The survey explains that this service would require a broadband connection and allow subscribers ($10/mth just like Vongo) to download films through iTunes and view ‘em as often as they like. And yeah, those commercial-free films would begin playing while download continues in the background. Otherwise, films can be purchased for about $13 each – but without the ability to burn to DVD. Of course, anyone could have commissioned the survey, and we think it's pretty likely that this was put together by some outfit that is just using the iTunes name in its research because it clicks with consumers. Regardless, the service described in the survey never mentions the potential resolution of the films for download. Hey Coyote, listen up. If your survey is real, we ain’t gonna drop $13 green for a 320x240 flick (current resolution of iTunes videos) for playback on our hi-def rig, dig? After all, this is the “year of HD” right? Oh wait, that was last year.

TEN Technology has just released a versatile new pair of Bluetooth headphones that both communicate with their naviPlay Bluetooth Adapter for iPod (included in the package) and also serve as a headset for Bluetooth-enabled cellphones. Furthermore, the naviPlay Bluetooth Stereo Headset can stream tunes from any A2DP-equipped handset or DAP as well as being a VoIP headset for PCs that sport Bluetooth. TEN went with an "old school high end design" for this model which go over the user's head, as opposed to behind the neck, include buttons for volume, track, and call control, and feature a rechargeable battery with a claimed 8-hour duration. These multi-functional 'phones are available online, immediately at Dr. Bott and at the Apple Store Online later this month, for $200.

Let’s face it, iPod cases all kind of suck. You buy a gorgeous, super sleek iPod and then in the name of not getting it all horribly scratched up you then have to buy an ugly bulky case to cover it up, one that probably doesn’t even fit in your pocket. So lame, right?
If you’ve got a Nano, you might just be in luck. Check out Moshi’s new iGlaze —it’s a high-gloss scratch-resistant false face that adheres to the front of your iPod with a polymer adhesive that leaves no residue when removed. The iGlaze is currently available in Obsidian Black and Milk White to match the Nanos on the market, and Kagami Mercury is a nice chrome to match the Nano’s front to its back. If we have to put our money on a color to sell well though, then we’re going with Sakura Pink, which’ll make your Nano the same shade as the best-selling pink iPod Mini. At $27, the iGlaze may seem a little pricey, but then again those stupid iPod socks are $29…

As an avid iPod fan and beanie wearer I shall give this product a seal of approval. This acrylic beanie stores the Shuffle and the cords neatly inside. And because the beanie will cover the ears of most wearers, then you will get a barrage of people talking to you without knowing you can’t hear them. I love it when that happens. It is available in multiple colors for $22 through Pakatun

A San Francisco woman, who was the victim of a hit-and-run while jogging, was properly identified thanks to her iPod and some ingenious thinking by investigators. No form of identification was found on her, but she did have her trusty iPod. The iPod was taken to the local Apple store and the woman was able to be identified. The victim was still in critical condition on Friday.

iPodGarage has an interesting essay about Apple’s entry into the iPod accessories space. At first blush, it seems that Apple is trying to grab a piece of a lucrative pie by nudging out other players in the market. However, this would be suicide. Those same players would just go and congregate around any number of less-popular MP3 players, leading to a lonely life for Steve and the iPod designers.
The real reason, iPodGarage posits, is that Apple wants to make the millions of iPod users out there aware of the aftermarket accessory world. This is a bit dubious to me, but it sounds logical. After all, the more crap you buy for your iPod, the better the chance you’ll buy the next generation gear. What say ye all?

Sure, it's easy to make your PC or iPod the center of your home entertainment network using various docking systems or wireless adapters like Apple's Airport Express. But what if you actually want to select music from another part of your home, without having to either run back to your PC/iPod to do so, or install a dedicated device like a Roku SoundBridge? KeySpan thinks it has the answer in the form of the TuneView, a remote control with a color LCD display that shows your iTunes or iPod library. The $99 remote works with either a $39 USB adapter to communicate with your PC, or with a $79 dock to connect to your iPod. Of course, you'll still need to hook up a set of speakers, but once you do, you can banish that PC to the home office, and still listen to your music in the living room.

The Multi Arcade emulator MAME has now been ported to the Ipod.
imphasing posted this news:
<blockquote>Here is a port of MAME for the ipod. Note that this will only work on the 5G ipod, unless you put another LCD driver in, so feel free to do so. I WILL NO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THIS. If you can't figure it out, you're on your own. I wrote this becuase I wanted to play pacman on my 5G, so it worked out.
Note that not all the MAME games are supported yet. Only these at the moment:
Pac-Man
Pengo
Cetipede
Millipede
Centipede and Millipede don't really "work" yet, but I'm working on that.
A few things you need to know:
This is a standalone binary, so you will need to start it from your rc, or from pz0.
You need to have a folder called "pacman" in the same directory the emulator is in, with all the pacman roms in it.
You need to not ask me for pacman roms.
The screen is oriented sideways, so play is right, menu is left, FF is up, and RW is down.
The source is released under MAME's license, which does not permit commercial useage, so don't sell it. Got it? Great, here's the download:</blockquote>

Yamaha alsready took care of your iPOD, and now it's Denon's turn with this ASD-1R, that can be hooked up to an amplifier or Denon HiFi set but also to an S-Video port. If you connect this docking station to a Denon set (there's a long list of units), you can control the iPOD with the remote control of your HiFi set. Connecting the iPOD to this dock also charges it.

Yamaha presents 3 new DSP AV amplifiers, the DSP-AX759, 559 and 459, available in gold and silver. These amps are entry level models, so no HDMI but rather D4, S-Video, composite for video and optical for the audio. The 759 is a 7.1 (100Wx7ch(6Ω)), has YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) and decodes 21 audio codecs (AAC, DTS, Pro Logic, ...). The 559 is a light version of the 759 that decodes 18 codecs, offers 5.1 (95Wx6ch(6Ω)) and also comes with YPAO. These 2 models (759 and 559) are compatible with the YDS-10, an iPOd docking station that allows you to use all the audio power of these 2 AV amplifiers directly from your iPOD. Finally we have the 459, it's not YPAO compatible, it does not have the iPOD docking station port, but it does provide 5.1 (90Wx6ch(6Ω)).

While we at Gizmodo will readily admit that this MP3 Shower Radio is not exactly the most exciting thing we’ve seen in the past few days, it does have a certain kind of hokey charm to it. This water-resistant radio houses a compartment where you can put your MP3 player (read: iPod), enabling you to listen to your whole music library whilst you exfoliate in the morning without fear of, well, electrocution. The radio also includes a fog-free mirror for those ever-so-dangerous in-the-shower shaving sessions. Four AA batteries power the $29.95 radio.

Former Gizmondo exec claims links with anti-terrorism unit
The mystery surrounding former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson and his crashed Ferrari has deepened following revelations that two men claiming to be "homeland security" appeared at the scene of the accident.
Eriksson claims he was not driving when his USD 1 million Enzo Ferrari crashed on a Californian highway last month, and police have yet to locate 'Dietrich', the man identified by Eriksson as the driver.
According to the LA Times, police are also attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of two men who arrived shortly after emergency crews reached the scene and flashed cards which said they were from homeland security. They were allowed to talk to Eriksson before leaving the scene. Police are now asking the public for help with identifying the two men.
It's also been revealed that Eriksson flashed a card of his own which declared that he was "deputy commissioner" of the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority police's anti-terrorism unit. The SGVTA is a small non-profit organisation which provides transportation for people with disabilities in the California area.
SGVTA commissioner Yosef Maiwandi told the LA Times that he founded the organisation's police department so that he could seek funding for security and perform background checks on potential members.
Maiwandi said that he was introduced to Eriksson by Ashley Posner, who is also a member of the transit board. Posner is Eriksson's civil attorney.
According to Maiwandi, Eriksson offered to install free surveillance cameras and facial scanning technology on SGVTA buses, claiming that he had provided a similar system for transport agencies in England.
Maiwandi carried out a background check on Eriksson, but did not find cause for concern and accepted the offer. In return, Eriksson was given the title of deputy commissioner and a set of business cards. Maiwandi said that the two men claiming to be from homeland security were nothing to do with the SGVTA.
Californian law allows transport agencies to establish police departments, although officers are not allowed to arrest anyone without undergoing training and meeting legal requirements for hiring staff. Most of these departments are certified by the State's Police Officer Standards Commission - but the SGVTA is not. As a result, its officers' powers extend to carrying weapons and making citizen's arrests.
The LA County Sheriff's Department is still looking into the case. Eriksson is said to have given a sample of blood for testing, but refused a recent interview with police.

Been trying to follow the Gizmondo Ferrari story but can't seem to keep the facts straight? Well we don't personally see how a simple little story about an illegally imported excusive Italian sportscar, a video game exec for handheld has been Gizmondo, the Swedish Uppsala mafia, Homeland Security, a mysterious ammunition clip, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and a transportation service for old people run out of an auto repair shop is the least bit confusing at all, but some of you apparently required some visual aids.
Enter Game Revolution's fun-for-all-ages flow chart, the piece de resistance of their extensive Gizmondo coverage aptly called "Gizmondo Bizarro." It's only a matter of time before they turn this into a made-for-TV movie featuring Eric Roberts as Stefan Ericksson in what will be heralded as "a gripping performance." They'll call it Crash and Burn: The Real Life Story of the Gizmondo Saga.

Snes9x UIQ is a port of well known Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom emulator with the same name. It is actually based on OpenSnes9xGP, modified Snes9x for GP32 handheld, which had parts of it adapted to / totally rewritten for GP32 (in C or ASM). As GP32 is ARM CPU based device (same as UIQ2 phones), these optimizations were used in this port.
Features
Zipped ROM support.
SRAM support.
Save state support.
Ability to auto-pause game on phone call (and resume it later).
Selectable frameskip.
Configurable keys and touchpad.
Flip-closed mode for SE phones.
Full sound support (very slow and barely useable).
Problems / limitations
Due to various optimizations emulation accuracy was lost and most games have various graphical glitches, some are unplayable at all.
Some SNES PPU (pucture processing unit) effects cause major slowdowns.
Enabling sound slows the emulation way too much (it was added only because it was already there in Snes9x, and was easy to port).
SuperFX games eather crash or are totally unplayable (< 1fps).
Configuration
It is mainly the same as in PicodriveN, check readme for detailed description. If you have trouble configuring keys, see PicodriveN key tutorial.
Quick notes
sound emulation is very slow, it is not recommended to use it.
If you change sound settings AFTER loading a ROM, you may need to reset game to get sound (this depends on a ROM itself).
zipped ROMs: zip files must contain one ROM per file, ROM must be in .smc format.

PicodriveN is another port of PicoDrive, Dave's Megadrive / Genesis emulator for Pocket PC. This version is based on PicoDrive 0.030 and is made for Symbian UIQ2 devices. It also has full sound support added (starting from version 0.70). It is alternative version to another port by AnotherGuest / Someone and is not based on it (so it has a little different name).
Features
Modified Cyclone 68000 core with better compatibility.
SRAM support.
Save state support.
Zipped ROM support.
Ability to auto-pause game on phone call (and resume it later).
Selectable frameskip.
Configurable keys and touchpad.
Flip-closed mode for SE phones.
Full sound support.
Problems / limitations
Some games don't run or have various glitches due to inaccurate emulation
Configuration
Check readme for detailed description. If you have trouble configuring keys, see this tutorial.
Quick notes
Enabling Z80 in sound settings will improve compatibility (you don't have to enable anything else, only Z80), because some games need it to run. But it slows emulation down, so turn it off if the game doesn't need it and you don't want sound.
Sound related:
You must use auto frameskip or you will get stuttering sound.
Sound needs a lot of CPU power, so it is best to use "fit 0" or "fit 180" display modes and to exit all other apps.
If you change sound settings AFTER loading a ROM, you may need to reset game to get sound (this depends on a ROM itself).
Changelog
0.70
Started using tools from "Symbian GCC Improvement Project", which give considerable speed increase (~4fps in "center 90" mode).
Rewrote some drawing routines in ARM assembly (gives ~6 more fps in "center 90" mode).
Minor improvement to 0 and 180 "fit" modes. Now they look slightly better and are faster.
Added some background for OSD text for better readability.
Added Pal/NTSC detection. This is needed for proper sound.
Implemented Reesy's DrZ80 Z80 emu. Made some changes to it with hope to make it faster.
Implemented ym2612 emu from the MAME project. Runs well but sometimes sounds a bit weird. Could be a little faster, so made some changes too.
Implemented SN76489 emu from the MAME project.
Added two separate sound output methods (mediaserver and cmaudiofb) with autodetection (needs testing).
Fixed VDP DMA fill emulation (as described in Charles MacDonald's docs), fixes Contra and some other games.
0.301
Launcher:
Launcher now starts emulation process from current directory, not from hardcoded paths.
Improved 'pause on call' feature, should hopefully work with Motorola phones.
0.30
Initial release.

Divineo USA have posted news that they have the Neuros Recorder 2 in stock. Heres the news and info:
The Neuros MPEG4 Recorder 2 is a Digital VCR for your Sony PSP(tm) and iPod(tm) video! The ultimate solution for all multimedia geeks.
<blockquote>Imagine having instant access to all your video anywhere! With its ability to easily record from any analog video source onto standard memory cards, the Neuros MPEG4 Recorder 2 is the must-have companion for PSP’s, iPod’s and other portable media players. With the Recorder 2 you can record the media you already own onto your handhelds to liven up your commute, make a cross-country business trip seem a little less lonely, or just watch your favorite movie or TV show in bed without disturbing your sleeping spouse.
Here’s how it works. Just pop a CF or memory stick memory card (purchased separately) into the Recorder 2 and plug it into the video-out jacks of any video source (cable or Satellite TV box, DVR, PVR like Tivo™, VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc) with the supplied cables and hit ‘Record.’ Once the recording is finished, you can instantly view the recorded video on a PSPTM , your laptop or other handheld that accepts CF or memory stick by popping the memory card out of the Recorder 2, popping it into the player, and hitting ‘Play’.
It’s easy to watch on an iPod too: Just transfer the recorded file to your PC via a USB card reader (purchased separately) and add it to iTunes, then sync your iPod, and you are ready to go. Nothing to download or convert.
Neuros is all about openness and freedom and, unlike the big guys, uses open standards to make sure your content plays without hassle on as many products as possible.
You can even do timed recording so you can record last night’s “Sopranos" or “The Daily Show” while you sleep or this afternoon’s ballgame while you work. And it’s just as easy to record from DVDs or to digitize your home movies. You can also use the Recorder 2 to watch video or view photos on your TV. Just plug it into the Video-In jacks on the TV and hit ‘Play’. And with the USB connection from your PSP or an inexpensive USB adaptor/Card reader (not included), you can easily drag and drop content from the memory card onto your computer to play it on your laptop or home PC.
The Recorder 2 weighs ounces and fits in the palm of your hand, so you can easily take it on the road with you as your portable digital VCR.</blockquote>

If, for whatever reason, you really don’t like having to use iTunes to rip and transfer songs to your iPod, Taiwan-based Zettabyte may just have what you’re looking for: the iUpload connects directly to the iPod (or any other MP3 player) and transfers music in MP3 format via USB that the unit rips from CDs. Also of note is that it automatically fetches your songs’ metadata tags from the Internet, making the whole song transferring process a little more pleasant. While it might not win any sexiest gadget award, the iUpload is due to arrive sometime this year, price still TBA.

Here’s the first keyboard to integrate a universal iPod dock, and the Razer Pro|Solutions Pro|Type Multimedia Keyboard also has a dedicated button to launch iTunes. It’s loaded with ten macro command hot keys which give you dedicated transport controls for your iPod and let you do things such as undo, zoom in and out, and of course, turn the Mac on and off. Plus, all the standard keys are fully programmable. Sync and charge your iPod using USB 2.0 without having to deal with a rat’s nest of wires. Nice. No release date was set yet, but it’ll be $99.

Community gaming and Smartphone technology said to be key
In his GDC keynote speech, Nokia's director of games publishing, Greg Sauter, has outlined the company's commitment to the future of mobile gaming and stressed the importance of enhancing the end-user's wireless experience.
Sauter's speech focused on the emerging Smartphone market, which Nokia believes will be the primary vehicle for the evolution of the wireless gaming experience. The company hopes to have an installed base of 250 million for its own smartphone range by 2008.
But technology is only part of the solution according to Sauter, and the wireless gaming market needs a pretty serious overhaul if its growth is to be maintained and improved over the coming years.
The company has revealed a number of new additions to its developer support system, including an enhanced and updated software development kit (SDK), improved developer tools and support on the revamped developer community site, Forum Nokia PRO, and access to community and connected gaming functionality through SNAP Mobile.
Nokia believes that the end user experience has so far failed to evolve in sync with the rapidly advancing technology platform, and has developed a next-generation consumer interface to enable fast and easy access to discover, purchase, play, manage and share mobile games and content.
"With our new consumer interface, you get quick access to new games and information, it's easy to buy and manage your games, and share game accomplishments with your friends. You can play fantastic looking games for a great overall entertainment experience in your pocket. This new consumer interface is going to transform the way people find and play mobile games," Sauter commented.
The company's N-Gage platform is also very much alive as far as Nokia is concerned, and whilst the handset technology may have changed to encompass a wider selection of devices than the standard N-Gage game deck, the concept of wireless connected gaming and an online community built through the N-Gage arena website remains a key strategy for the firm. Potentially mirroring the Xbox Live experience, Nokia plans to include gamer profiles, avatars and a new N-Gage gaming points system in the near future - all of which is designed to enhance the consumer experience in the wireless gaming market.

Over the next couple months Apple may be phasing out the 60GB iPod video in favor of something else, hopefully the true iPod Video that we have been hearing about non-stop for the past month, according to an Apple analyst. Apple told distributors that the 60GB iPod will be “at risk” until the end of April. At risk basically means that it could be discontinued at any moment. Let’s hope this possible discontinuation will preclude the new video iPod that may or may not appear some time soon.

By a margin of almost 100 votes, France's National Assembly has approved a bill that could force Apple and other companies to open the DRM used by their online music stores to other companies. At issue isn't DRM itself but interoperability. The law, if passed by France's Senate later this year, could require Apple to open its FairPlay DRM system to music players other than the iPod. If Apple refused, the law would allow consumers to use software to transcode the music into other formats, stripping the DRM in the process. The law would also apply to other DRM, such as Microsoft's PlaysForSure, but Apple has the most to lose, both because of its large share of the market, and because of its "razor-and-blades" business model, which closely ties the iPod to the iTunes Music Store. Apple has thus far refused to comment on the bill.

Speaking at GDC, David Collier, CEO of Tokyo-based mobile content provider Pikkie, has argued that developers must remember the mobile phone is first and foremost a communications device.
According to Collier, developers must make use of that functionality in order to secure and maintain interest from mobile carriers, something which he sees as key since "We live in a carrier's world."
Together with Matthew Bellows of Floodgate Entertainment, Collier took the stage at GDC to deliver a presentation on the need for mobile game developers to be more creative.
To demonstrate what can be achieved with innovation in gameplay and a closer working relationship with carriers, the pair showcased Korea-based developer Gamevil's Path of a Warrior. It's the only mobile game to have secured a unique fixed fee with Korean mobile carriers, at USD 10 per month for unlimited play. "I'm sure the American operators are dying to emulate that and help us all make a great business," Collier joked.
Bellows and Collier also heralded EA's Need for Speed as a major step forward for big publishers, in that it takes full advantage of the mobile platform by offering connected multiplayer gaming and downloads - as opposed to a relatively basic single player port of a hit console game.
Taito's Puzzle Bobble was highlighted to demonstrate the idea of real-time connected gaming, and Floodgate's Pet Shop - which enables gamers to enter virtual 'best of show' events with other players in their real-world local or national area - was shown as an example of location based services.
"The mobile phone isn't just a small Game Boy," stated Collier. "It's about connectivity."

If there’s a hipster in your life whose lights you’d like us to punch out, by all means equip them with this $50 Woody iPod Blaster bag and make sure they’re blasting some Yeah Yeah Yeahs from it while they walk by us on their way to the L train. Nothing says “SCREW U MOM & DAD!” harder than a mass-produced wood print vinyl bag.

The people spoke, and Apple listened -- while they still have their hearing that is. After facing that French iPod law (no, not that one, the other one regulating volume output in portable audio devices) and a lawsuit here in the states about iPod-related hearing damage, Apple's apparently releasing a software update to allow for a personal volume threshold option in your iPod. Meaning you can set it so your iPod can't get any louder than a certain pre-defined level -- though as long as that level is configurable, even if its placed out of the way in the device options, people will still continue to set it to 11 and damage their hearing. Still, what's interesting here is that this move could be construed as an admission of guilt in some sense, but hey, we appreciate the thought, Apple. Look at that guy in the picture -- we wouldn't really want him screaming at full volume right into our ears, either.

A month after losing his Enzo Ferrari in a crash on a Californian highway, former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson has been forced to say farewell to another luxury car after police impounded his Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
According to the LA Times Eriksson's wife, Nicole Persson, was driving the car when a Beverly Hills police officer's suspicions were aroused by its European licence plate.
He stopped the vehicle and found that Persson was unable to produce a driving licence. Further investigations revealed that the $400,000 Mercedes was not registered in the US, and after contacting Scotland Yard, police learned that the car may have been stolen.
LA County Sheriff Sergeant Phil Brooks said that Eriksson is now left with just one of the three luxury cars he imported into the US last year. "He brought in through San Diego two Ferraris and the Mercedes and said they were show cars and that he was not going to drive them on the streets," Brooks said.
Police are still investigating the incident last month where Eriksson's Enzo Ferrari was destroyed on a Pacific Coast highway. Eriksson claimed the car was being driven by a man named Dietrich, but so far police have been unable to ascertain his whereabouts.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told Fortune magazine that the company is interested in taking on the iPod, and hinted about combining the player with a cellphone. Ballmer said,
“In five years are people really going to carry two devices? One device that is their communication device, one device that is music? There’s going to be a lot of opportunities to get back in that game. We want to be in that game. Expect to see announcements from us in that area in the next 12 months.”
Of course, Microsoft will have to play catch-up again and again, because Apple will almost certainly have an iPod phone on the market 12 months from now. Good luck, Redmondians.

"The new iGoatse is the definitive skin for your iPod. There are no words to describe it. And you know why."
Besides the angry pink you see above, iGoatse can also be seen in equally lurid shades of green and blue. Dull cream and gray also, but we feel that bright colors are best, to remind the world what Goatse stands for: Freedom. Liberty. Anal leakage.
