Anyone have any personal recommendations for an iPod dock? I'm looking for something simple and stylish and cheap, with at least audio out. The official dock seems way too pricey, but if it's worth getting I'll consider it. I've had my Touch for a month now, and I'm still amazed by it. I'm usually tired of new gadgets after the first week or two, but I'm still blown away by how great this thing is. It's seriously the best gadget to come into my life since getting a computer. It makes me wonder how amazing the iPods of my kid's generation will be.

Is there any way to get calendar and contacts data off the ipod and onto my computer? There's a lot of data that I'd hate to lose through future jailbreaking/restoring, and I want to pull all of it off and into Outlook or Thunderbird or whatever. Is there any way to do this? EDIT - Nevermind, I didn't see the sync contacts option in the info tab. notation fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Jan 21, 2008 |

I hate having to turn the drat thing when I pull it out of my pocket to change songs You could always double-tap the home button to bring up the music controls (assuming your Touch is locked when in your pocket). I was listening to music the other day, and while on the "Now Playing" screen I double tapped the home button. Instead of pulling up a set of music controls, it took me to an iPhone menu. I know that there are no phone parts in the Touch, but my heart still skipped a beat.

Disappointing Pie posted:What's the easiest way to get your iTunes Library in order? http://musicbrainz.org/ This program helps out a lot if you have at least a filename that describes the artist or song. It'll search it's database for songs with the same length, artist, song title and then automatically tag the song. I usually have a 80% success rate with finding tag info for my songs. http://www.fixtunes.com/ I haven't used this one, but it does album art too, so you might want to check that out.

I've upgraded my Touch to 2.0 and have spent the past hour trying out apps. The store is nicer than Installer, but the selection of free apps isn't too amazing. Some free app standouts: Remote - Wirelessly control your iTunes. Pandora - Online radio. My only gripe is that you can't run it in the background, so you can't do anything else while listening to Pandora. Box Office - Look up movie times for your area. Very simple, but immensely useful. It also lists RottenTomatoes scores for each movie. Cube Runner - Really simple but addictive game. Think of that 2D cave scroller game, except in 3D. You tilt the iPod to dodge incoming blocks. The NY Times - Let's you read the NYTimes in a simple layout. It does have banner ads that take up a bit of screen space though. As for the paid apps, the only ones that I've bought are both games. Super Monkey Ball - This game looks fantastic. I'm really surprised by how great and crisp the graphics look on the iPod. The tried and true addictive gameplay is well suited for bouts of wasting time on your iPod. The controls take some getting used to; I'm not as good at the game as I would be with analog sticks. Tapping the screen to pause also doesn't seem to work for me. Bubble Bash - It's a Bust-A-Move clone. I love BAM so I had to get this. The tropical-themed graphics are nice and colorful, albeit cheesy. The controls are great though. You use a slider at the bottom of the screen to aim, and release to shoot.
