Here's a look at how MP3 players have changed over the past decade. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/83863/evolution-mp3-player#comments Personal tech Feature gadgets iPod mp3 player slideshow Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:53:52 -0500 ITworld staff 83863 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/83741/tech-9-things-i-still-hate-about-you Sure, we all claim to love technology. But there's just as much to loathe about the world of tech and techies - whether it's internal users suffering from PEBKAC, IT workers lost in their own acronym-filled worlds, Apple devotees, or early-adopter consumers who love themselves a little too much. http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/83741/tech-9-things-i-still-hate-about-you#comments Offbeat Feature gadgets iPhone iPod slideshow Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:34:54 -0500 ITworld staff 83741 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/83457/how-set-continuous-podcast-play-new-itunes The old iTunes allowed continuous play of podcasts on an iPhone or iPod touch using an ordinary playlist. You had to drag and drop the podcasts into the playlist, then "shuffle" them on the device. It was a manual process, but a vaguely intuitive one and one broadly known to users. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/83457/how-set-continuous-podcast-play-new-itunes#comments Mobile & wireless Personal tech How-to iPhone iPod iTunes Podcasting Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:40:04 -0500 mikelgan 83457 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/78702/ipod-nano-5th-generation-16gb-audio-player The fifth-gen iPod Nano is almost impossibly slim, but somehow the wizards at Apple managed to pack in a video camera. Though you'll find a few other new features in the fifth-generation Nano, the video camera is the marquee addition. Considering how much space your home-video clips might take up, it's unfortunate that Apple didn't boost the Nano's storage capacity this generation. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/78702/ipod-nano-5th-generation-16gb-audio-player#comments Personal tech Product review iPod iPod nano Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:11:23 -0400 ITworld staff 78702 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/78530/6-must-not-have-iphoneipod-accessories Rock and Roll (of toilet paper) http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/78530/6-must-not-have-iphoneipod-accessories#comments Offbeat Personal tech Opinion accessories iPhone iPod slideshow Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:48:19 -0400 ITworld staff 78530 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/77788/microsoft-zune-hd-no-reason-live It is hard to think of a valid reason for Microsoft's new Zune HD media player to exist.

Creating a name for said product that is at once cool but not too cool or exclusionary, marketable to both early adopters and a broader audience, and, of course, isn't already in use and protected by various trademarks and copyright laws is difficult—to say the least. The makers of these 10 tech products—the iPod, BlackBerry, Firefox, Twitter, Windows 7, ThinkPad, Android, Wikipedia, Mac OS X and the "Big Cats," and Red Hat Linux—all have displayed certain amounts marketing savvy, common sense and fun-loving spirit in settling on their products' names. Here are the intriguing, surprising and sometimes predictable accounts of their creation. http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/77425/how-10-famous-technology-products-got-their-names#comments Offbeat Feature BlackBerry iPod Mac OS slideshow Snow Leopard Windows 7 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:34:08 -0400 ITworld staff 77425 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/77241/ipod-touch-comes-its-own-game-platform Never mind Mac OS X, and forget about future iterations of the Apple TV as a video game console--the iPod touch is Apple's game platform.

As you might imagine, much of the activity centered on the area where the new iPod nano was on display. Fast though the third-generation iPod touch may be and nicely shiny the iPod shuffle SE, the fifth-generation iPod nano offers tangible--and, Apple hopes, desirable--new features. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/77141/hands-ipod-nano#comments Personal tech Product review iPod Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:53:04 -0400 ITworld staff 77141 at http://www.itworld.com
