When I was last in Banana Republic the other day, I saw that they had begun to sell iPod accessories like iPod cases and iPod mini cases.
The iPod News Network has now picked up an official story on this topic, so head over there if you wanna read more about it.

iSquint One Of The Better iPod Video Converters
iSquint is one of the best iPod video converters out there because it’s 5 times faster than quicktime, supports avi, all of the quicktime movies, and even wmv9 if you have the Flip4Mac plug-in for quicktime.

From Joystiq:
Doom has long been the benchmark for playing retro games on a whole variety of electronic devices. If it can play Doom, it can play pretty much any game of a similar generation (as long as the source code’s available). Enter iDoom, a Doom port for the iPod. This port isn’t new, but the latest update features iPod nano support which performs much better than previous versions.

A new torrent website called Podtropolis has launched that caters specifically for iPod users. This site lists torrents for “high quality content for your iPod including movies, television programs, music videos and of course music.”

Jason O’Grady, of The Apple Core blog, writes that the iPod is missing one important feature: gapless playback.
As he notes, without gapless playback, CDs that are created so that they sound like one long track but are in fact split up into many individual tracks sound like crap due to the pause between tracks.
Does the lack of gapless playback bother you? Then sign the online petition.

Griffin has updated their FM transmitter/charger unit called the RoadTrip for compatibility with the iPod video and iPod nano. This now means iPod users can now purchase the Griffin RoadTrip in black so that it matches their sleek, black iPod nano.

Yes, iPodStuff Canada has been redesigned!
Over the course of the last few months, Apple has moved away from the bright colors that were prevalent in the iPod mini, instead opting for black and white in their designs for the iPod nano and iPod video. In keeping with these design changes, iPodStuff Canada has undergone a similar transformation. Gone are the bright colors in favour of the sleekness of black and white.
Of course, there still is some color in the new Apple iPod nano and iPod video, but these are splashed throughout the user interface screens. Similarly, the blues and greens from the iPod nano user interface are used sparingly throughout this redesigned site.
I hope you enjoy the new look. If you have any comments, feel free to express them!
