iPods Turned Into iPod Speakers

Now this is interesting - a pair of iPods (presumably non-functional, of course) that has been turned into iPod speakers. The original iPods' scroll wheels were removed as you can see above, being replaced by a pair of speakers instead. The entire DIY project cost around $100 (replacement front and back panels since the old ones had too many scratches to count plus shipping), although with a careful search done locally, the entire thing could have been completed for approximately $60. The speaker size stands at 2.25" and needed to be dremeled a little at the back in order to fit into the iPod properly. It would be nice to see if someone could make Zune speakers for the Zune...

Frozen 30GB Zunes To Regain Back Life

Good news for those who are afraid that their 30GB Zune might have actually choked and died - Microsoft has owned up to their own blunder and here's what they have to say about the entire situation. There is a bug in the internal clock driver that causes the device to bite the dust on the last day of a leap year. But don’t worry, even though they won’t be releasing an update for the device any time soon, it should resolve itself when January 1, 2009 comes around. Well at least you don't have a brick lying around, right? Cue Apple fanboys who smugly tell you, "I told you to get an iPod, didn't I?" If you like Ubergizmo... Become a fan in Facebook

30GB Microsoft Zunes Start Dropping Like Flies

Everybody seems to be pretty clueless at the moment concerning breaking news that 30GB Microsoft Zunes have malfunctioned and stubbornly refuse to boot up. It doesn't matter which country you're at - as long as you own a 30GB Zune, those people have discovered that their portable media player does nothing but freeze at the boot up screen. Guess this is another reason on why an iPod is better, but don't tell that to die hard Zune fans. Just when we thought that all this was supposed to happen at the turn of 2000, and hopefully Microsoft will come up with a solution of sorts to calm the growing, frenzied horde. Update 12/31: A Microsoft spokesperson has issued a statement. Take a look in the full post: If you like Ubergizmo... Become ...

iPhone Nano Case - Part II

We told you about the iPhone nano rumor, largely caused by the apparition of a XSKN case for that phone on a Chinese website. Well, know the case is apparently up for sale, even though the phone is definitely not. People are split when it comes to an iPhone nano: some just don't believe in it, while others think that it is possible that Apple has been working on a smaller, lighter and cheaper version of the iPhone. Many point out that a different screen resolution (especially lower) might break the compatibility of existing apps. Others point out that it is very possible that the iPhone nano would have the same number of pixels but on a smaller surface, and yes, that is technically possible. To their credit, XSKN has a ...

Metal Gear Solid for iPod is Coming

Lured by the 70% revenue share that developers get from the iPhone App Store, Konami has decided to port several games: Metal Gear solid, Silent hill, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and Frogger. There is little doubt that they will end up selling well and generate a mountain of cash for Konami, so we are sure that more developers are going to follow Konami's lead. You need to know that the developer usually gets a small share of the sales revenues in traditional channels. It is something like 20% developer, 30% publisher and 50% distribution. With the App Store, companies have a chance to make more money - but it works better for those who are developer and publisher at the same time. The publisher is usually the entity that funds the development. If you like ...

Touch Walkman In the Works (Rumor)

Sony has been busy working on its next-generation touch Walkman. The word on the street is that it will feature 16 and 32GB of storage and be the new spearhead music player at Sony. It will go head-to-head with Apple's iPod touch, as it features WIFI and is compatible with most popular music and video formats. A web browser is also integrated and this Walkman is also said to be able to download music from the Amazon store, and we expect some form of Sony online store as well. The touchscreen walkman also has FM radio. Oh, and it would be nice to have an SDK and a distribution platform too. If you like Ubergizmo... Become a fan in Facebook

EFF To Apple: Free Speech Isn’t a DMCA Violation

Apple has always been very protective over their proprietary software. The company doesn't want anything but iTunes to control an iPod - and for good reason, too. The iTunes Store is a money-making machine with over 65 million active customers helping the company sell billions of songs, videos, and apps. Despite iTunes' popularity, however, there are still those out there who would rather run their own software... View Full Article: ReadWriteWeb
