01.17.06The Apple Mobile PhoneApple, please! Giving us an FM radio for the iPod in 2006 is an insult. Why? Why can't you understand that it's not the "iPod Radio Remote" we want. We want the "iPod Cellular Remote". This product should have been a cellular attachment for the iPod. Same idea. Use the screen and the battery in the iPod. Just add a little external box with some keys, a cellular chip and preferably also wifi. Wired had lots of coverage on what people want and why they don't get it in issue 13.11.

Having the possibility to transfer them to your iPod and even review them on the iPod screen is a very good idea. Unfortunately, the iPod Photo Connector fails to help you out...

12.29.05Sleeptracker – experience so farFirst impression Very nice package. The watch itself looks better than expected. Feels quite well built. Don't consider this a complete review of the Sleeptracker. This is my first experience with a device that needs time before it is possible to judge the potential benefit or function of it. I have now been a proud owner of a Sleeptracker for two weeks. The problem is that these two weeks has not been very representative for the typical days when I need an alarm clock.
