Reviewing iTunes 7 and the new line of iPods, David Pogue writes for the New York Times, you can&#146;t &#147;find a better online music store, or a free jukebox program as powerful and clean as iTunes. And you certainly won&#146;t find a music player that beats the new iPods in polish, capacity or even price. They come dazzlingly close to perfection.&#148;

A few years ago, when MP3 players were establishing themselves as the hot cool thing, the next step seemed clear: What if you could take along not only music but movies, television programs, home video and still pictures in a high-tech box svelte enough

Continuing the thread from yesterday. I got absolutely nowhere, some people suggested I use a smart playlist, missing the point that I'm a developer working on a podcatcher, not a user trying to use iTunes as a podcatcher. I'm sure it's an excellent way to subscribe to podcasts, but I have my own ideas how podcatchers should work, and I want to integrate them with other stuff I'm working on. Integrating with iTunes is proving to be quite a challenge, or maybe it's an art, we'll see.  As usual Mac users are superior sumbitches.  (Quoting the James Brolin character the first time we meet him in the third season finale of The West Wing.) Anyway, the search continues, I tried another more direct tack, and looked for glue for iTunes for UserLand, and bingo, there's a match, from 2001, a well-known Frontier programmer Sean Elfstrom, apparently converted glue for the Sonic SoundJam app that iTunes used to be, before Apple acquired it.  I installed the glue in the OPML Editor. It's daunting, for sure, but let's see what I can get working.

&#147;I&#146;ve been testing the new iPod Shuffle for a couple of days,&#148; writes Walt Mossberg for the Wall Street Journal, &#147;and, in my tests, it fulfilled &#151; and even exceeded &#151; Apple&#146;s claims for convenience, battery life and song capacity. Sound quality is so good you can barely believe the music is coming from something so small.&#148; [Jan 12, 2005]

Proof that there still is more to do. On Saturday I got an email from Sylvia saying that a friend of mine had bought her first iPod. It took me a few minutes to figure out that she was talking about herself. Funny, I had never thought about whether she had an iPod or not, but I have been on her case to get a digital camera. So she brought her iPod over, it's one of the new "fatty" nanos with video. It was so funny to see it through her eyes, and even cooler to read her story. I didn't realize that there was a reason she had never gotten an iPod. Sylvia: Sliding into song. I seek out experiences like this. Stones I can turn over that reveal a rich experience, an eye-opener, a bright horizon that doesn't take much time or effort to achieve.

As of yesterday&#39;s Apple announcements, the newest breed of iPods -- called the iPod touch -- include a multitouch interface, a WiFi connection, widescreen video display, and the Safari browser.
