Do you need directions to some place and don’t want take some paper printouts with you? Would it not be fantastic to have this info on your IPOD or Iriver MP3 Player. Well now you can. These images can be put onto anything that allows you to view GIF images. I tried this on my iRiver H340 and it works. I have not tried this on an IPOD but I am pretty sure it will work there as that is what this site is all about.

XM Inno and Helix Radio Case

I have been reading the satellite radio forums lately about all the new products - I wish I had one of the new Pioneer Inno Radios - They are so sleek looking. They look like a really nice MP3 Player with Antenna. But like any MP3 player you need to protect it from drops, bangs and scratches. So to the rescue is Speck Products - and their cases for both the XM Radio Inno and Helix.

Beatles Lose Apple Trademark Case

Well - the ruling is out - The Beatles lose to Apple Computer - The judge ruled this morning that the company had not breached trademark agreements because the image was used for its store and not for any Musical operations. Of course the Beatles will appeal this decision, but they have to pay Apple Company court costs.
