04.05.06Listen to eirikso.comErling Sivertsen points me to Talkr. A service that can give you a computer generated audio version of RSS-feeds. From now on you will find a nice little button in my side bar that says "Talkr". Copy the link from that button into your podcacher (iTunes or Juice or whatever), and you can start listening to eirikso.com. I don't think eirikso.com is the best blog to listen to because I try my best to include visuals in addition to the text. Photos and illustrations. Still this is a cool service and could be very valuable for people with limited vision ...

01.26.06The iPod is now mounted in the carYou find the brief introduction on how to connect an iPod to your car here. This is the short roundup: 1. Bought a Dension iceLink to connect the iPod to the factory mounted stereo in my 2001 Toyota Rav4. 2. 30 minutes of work to dismount the stereo and connect the iceLink 3. Bought a ProClip mounting bracket from brodit.se For Norwegians, find the bracket you want on brodit.se and call MobilData and order it. For a piece of plastic it is horribly expensive: NOK 299,- For the people that have no clue about Norwegian Kroner - that's about $44 for the mounting bracket(!) That said, ...

01.17.06The ultimate Apple remote controlMore wishful thinking. More Apple rambling. And a description of the ultimate remote control. No doubt about it. I was disappointed in the remote control that Apple made for Front Row experience. For a second I was thrilled. Fantastic! A remote control with a scroll wheel! But no, it has six buttons. Period. It looks like this: It's IR. It's one way. It has no screen. It has no scroll wheel. Throw this away. Apple has already designed the ultimate remote. They only have to change some parts inside the iPod Nano. In other words, the ultimate remote looks like this: Remove all the memory. ...

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. Seems like the biggest problem is the download service that ...

01.15.06How to connect your iPod to your car...or rather how to connect your iPod to your 2001 Toyota Rav4 So, time has come to find a soultion that gives me an ability to listen to my iPod in my car. It's a 2001 Toyota Rav4 with a standard Toyota factory mounted stereo. And a 60GB Apple iPod Video. Using one of the several FM Transmitters out there is not an option. That's just not good enough. I want to connect the iPod to the car stereo through wires. I want the best sound quality possible with the combination of a car stereo and an iPod. Someone out there would immediately ...
