Apple iPod players and the docks, cables, and chargers made for them.
CableKeeps was the 4th Kickstarter project I backed, on 11th August 2011. It funded on 9th September, raising US$37,498 against a US$35,000 goal. My US$28 pledge, plus US$10 shipping, got me any two units from Nibbles, Goldie, or Gulp.
The Innergie Magic Cable Trio and Duo are Innergie's priciest USB cables, each retailing for S$29 at Challenger, or S$26.10 with a 10% member's discount. I went for the Trio, which has three tips, Mini USB, Micro USB, and Apple.
No idea why Li Xiang is suddenly so into sports, but she's rubbed off on me. I've jogged every Wednesday for two weeks now. Naturally the gadget freak in me grabbed the Nike + iPod Sport Kit.
I've been eyeing the Sony ICF-C1iPMK2 lately because it's quite affordable: S$179 retail, or S$159 at Challenger with member discount. It's an iPod and iPhone dock clock radio, with reviews over at iLounge worth a look before buying.
Last Wednesday, the Apple Store Singapore ran a one-day shopping event with online discounts, though they were pretty paltry, just S$20 off an iPod nano. Still, S$20 off beats nothing, so I grabbed a Belkin charger.
Apple has just refreshed its entire iPod lineup at the Let's Rock event, the last refresh having been on 6th September 2008. The second-generation iPod Touch features a stainless-steel design, side volume controls and a built-in speaker.
My old Sitoca table has lasted over five years and is still excellent, so I'm passing it to Li Xiang, whose table is collapsing. I went to Ikea for a new desk, a table top on Vika Grevsta legs.
Apple iPod Touch 8GB for S$498, or Asus Eee 4G for S$598? Two very different gadgets at a similar price, one a sleek media player, the other a tiny netbook. Any suggestions or comments to help me decide?
Apple has announced a new iPod branch, the iPod Touch, refreshed the Shuffle and Nano, and renamed the fifth-generation iPod the iPod Classic. Imagine an iPhone without calling, just 8mm thick, and you have the iPod Touch.
