A video demonstration of the use of Retro T2 iPod Touch Case from ivyskin:


According to the review from DAPreview, there are a few drawbacks that they find for the Retro T2 iPod touch case:
- The reduce of overall sensitivity of the touch screen -- not to any great degree but on occasion you may have to repeat an action.

- The black frame on the front plate, which surrounds the screen, is about 1.2mm off target (Shown on picture below). The unit that they are reviewing is a black edition. The reflect-chrome version is free from this flaw.


- The opening for the headphone jack is too tight for some headphone.

Despite the few drawbacks listed above, they still give a big thumbs up for the ivyskin Retro T2 iPod touch case.

Solution for Disk Space issue on iPod Touch.

After some time you'll realize that there is no more space on your iPod Touch.
This happens because all applications are installed in root partition.

iPod Touch Operating System as well as any other UNIX operating system use disk drive partitioning of

following idea:

/ small partition to store system data (core)
/usr/home or /home to store user related data.

In our case

/var/media - partition to store Music and Video

Apple Q2 2008: 10.644m iPods, 1.7m iPhones sold

Reporting its second quarter financial results today, Apple said it sold 10.6 million iPods during the quarter—on par with most analyst predictions, and pushing the total number of iPods sold to just over 152 million.

Despite Apple’s dramatic iPod shuffle price drop during the quarter, which saw the iPod family for the first time become accessible at the $49 price point, iPod sales were almost flat compared to the year-ago quarter, with only 1% growth in unit sales, and 8% growth in revenues. It also sold 1.7 million iPhones in the quarter, bringing the total number of units sold up to 5.4 million as of March 31, a number that is likely over 6 million by now.

The company posted revenue of $7.51 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.05 billion, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared with revenue of $5.26 billion and net quarterly profit of $770 million, or $.87 per diluted share in Q2 2007. Sales of Other Music Related Products + Services were up 35% over the year-ago quarter and 9% over the first quarter of 2008, to $881 million total. That category includes iTunes Store sales, iPod services, and revenues from Apple and third-party iPod accessories. Total iPhone revenue, including carrier agreements and all iPhone accessories from Apple and third parties, was $412m, up 57% over the preceding quarter despite a 26% drop in unit sales.

“We’re delighted to report 43 percent revenue growth and the strongest March quarter revenue and earnings in Apple’s history,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “With over $17 billion in revenue for the first half of our fiscal year, we have strong momentum to launch some terrific new products in the coming quarters.”

“We’re thrilled to have generated $4 billion in cash flow from operations in the first half of fiscal 2008, yielding an ending cash balance of $19.4 billion,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “Looking ahead to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect revenue of about $7.2 billion and earnings per diluted share of about $1.00.”

Some customer reviews about this product from Apple store:

Written by PF
March 31, 2008

"Well it failed the most important test. I just bought this case for my 14 year old daughter and she called me old. She said that the brand isn't cool anymore and that I should just return the monkey case. Instead of returning it Im using it for myself. I've been getting nothing but compliments from my peers on my Monkey case and it's making me feel young again. Not only is it a cool case but it's constructed very nicely. Thanks for the cool case Paul Frank."

Written by JM
March 20, 2008

"Well, i love monkeys, but this case is not built well. My concerns- it is really thin, so it stretches out easily and can tear. Plus, the rubber is really sticky so putting it in your pocket is a chore. Combine the stickiness with the thinness and it is borderline un-useable. If you want a rubber case, get one of the INCASE ones- they are thicker and sturdier, plus the rubber is sticky enough so the phone doesn't slide on surfaces, but it's still smooth enough to easily get it into and out of pockets."

This news follows a set of recently published Apple patent applications, which outlined a digital fitness program for iTunes and touchscreen digital media devices.

Logic 3 iStation Traveller

Logic 3 iStation Traveller
Logic 3 iStation Traveller is a tiny sound system for iPod Touch (and iPhone). It's one of the cool accessories for iPod Touch that you would find it useful when you are traveling. You can watch videos and listen to music with the iStation Traveller, giving you something to do on your long dull journey.

Like the name suggested, the iStation Traveller for iPhone and iPod Touch is designed as a portable device that allows you to easily carry it with you during travel. Powered by 4 AAA batteries, it weights only 11 ounces; and is approximately 1.3" thick, 6.7" wide, and 3.5" tall when in compact mode. Different from the traditional iPod dock, the iStation Traveller connects to the iPod Touch / iPhone using a headphone cable, which is attached permanently to the station. Also, the iStation Traveller does not has a volume controller itself. The volume will be controlled by the iPod Touch / iPhone itself.

Comment from MacWorld on the Logic 3 iStation Traveller:
"The system is small enough to fit in a large pants pocket, so it’s easy to throw in a laptop bag or carry-on. Yet despite this small size, the Traveller sounds quite good. As you’d expect from two 1.25-inch speaker drivers, you don’t get much bass, and the maximum volume isn’t ear-splitting. But midrange and treble are decent, and the system isn’t nearly as tinny as many speakers of this size I’ve tested."

The iStation Traveller is currently priced at $60. With the combination of its superior performance and portability, it's definitely worth this price.

David Beckham century gift - a golden iPod Touch

Former England captain David Beckham will be dancing for joy after his team-mates clubbed together to buy him a special something to celebrate him reaching the elite 100-cap club for his country.

Beckham, 32, who reached his century during last week's friendly match with France in Paris, has been given an iPod Touch by his colleagues.

As you can see it is not just your standard Apple product but rather a golden 32-gigabyte personalised version of the iPod Touch to mark the occasion.

Beckham, who made his England debut in September 1996 against Moldova, was picked for new coach Fabio Capello's second national squad, after missing the friendly with Swtizerland due to lack of match fitness.

The LA Galaxy midfielder started the France game in his preferred right-midfield position before being replaced by David Bentley just after the hour mark.

Beckham looks like to add to his 100 caps following Capello's post-match appraisal of his performance, and with just four men ahead of him there is a small possibility the Leytonstone-born footballer could surpass former goalkeeper Peter Shilton's record of 125 England appearances if he is able to continue playing until the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as he desires.

In the meantime he can enjoy listening to his wife's back catalogue on his £600 ipod touch - he certainly has enough storage space with 32 GB.

Apple: iTunes is #1 Music Retailer in the U.S.

Apple announced on Thursday that they have surpassed Wal-Mart to become the number one music retailer in the U.S. The numbers come from the NPD Group.

"We launched iTunes less than five years ago, and it has now become the number one music retailer in the world," said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. "We are thrilled, and would like to thank all of our customers for helping us reach this incredible milestone."

Apple said that the announcement was "based on data from market research firm the NPD Group’s MusicWatch survey that captures consumer reported past week unit purchases and counts one CD representing 12 tracks, excluding wireless transactions. The iTunes Store became the largest music retailer in the U.S. based on the amount of music sold during January and February 2008."

Apple has been steadily climbing the charts in this respect. Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, has shown the sales position of Apple's iTunes at major keynotes and the suggestion was always that Wal-Mart, in Apple's sights, would eventually be surpassed by iTunes. Thursday's announcement punctuates those keynote slides even more, and chances are, there will be a big smile on Mr. Jobs face during WWDC's keynote.

Exclusive News: Ipod Touch Firmware 2.0

Moments ago I found out there is "development guy" on net that has Ipod Touch /Iphone Firmware 2.0 ! Somehow this firmware 2.0 leaked out of Apple Development Team which is performing beta testing.

I have also being told this firmware 2.0 will not be available via iTunes or Apple Store , only way to get it is to download it manually.

Apple might change that, because not many ipod touch and iphone users are very tech savy to install firmware "manually"


ADT (Apple Development Team) is probably using software like Pwnage in order to test firmware 2.0..

As it looks like we are looking for new firmware very soon!

Update 04/02/2008:

Here is video that I was just uploaded to youtube!

Update 07/10/2008: Ipod Touch 2.0 firmware will be avaliable via App Store probably tomorrow when? I don't know yet, I have to consult with my Apple guy that worked on Ipod Touch software. I can't believe I haven't ask him about that this morning!. Please subscribe to RSS feeds and also check my latest blog posts since this one is pretty old!




This is due June!
