At the Brearley School, a private school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where Samantha is in the eighth grade, the iPod went from a "want" to a "must have" this year when its use was incorporated into foreign-language and classics courses. For about 300 girls in grades 7 through 12, the iPod is now required to do homework and classroom assignments.

The Wall Street Journal has published some 27 letters from people who Switched to the Mac because of their iPod, people who Switched because of Windows problems, people who want to Switch but have reservations, and some people who are happy in their Windows world...
As anecdotal evidence is concerned, the letters offer some of the first real-world evidence of the iPod Halo Effect, which is the idea that iPod users will Switch to the Mac because they enjoy their iPod so much.

Toshiba has announced a new and improved 40Gb and 80Gb version of its small hard drive found in the Apple iPod... The announcement of the 80Gb model has caused a stir in the Apple Fraternity as the last announcement from Toshiba was a 60Gb unit and while Apple denied that it would use the drive, it eventually found its way into the iPod Photo. It would follow therefore that the new drive from Toshiba would find itself into an Apple product at some point.

Q. Is it true that iPod users must send unit in to Apple to have battery changed at a cost of over $200.00?
A. No, it's not true. You can do it yourself through a third party, such as Other World Computing's and NewerTech's high-capacity iPod replacement batteries (your iPod will play longer, up to 70% longer with over 20-hour runtimes reported, than with an Apple battery) for about US$25-$40.

The iPod is not just for music any more... Radiologists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and their colleagues at other institutions from as far away as Europe and Australia are now using iPod devices to store medical images. "This is what we call using off the shelf, consumer market technology," says Osman Ratib, M.D., Ph.D., professor and vice-chairman of radiologic services at UCLA.

Well, the iPod case thing is now out of control. If you thought Apple's iPod socks were cute and/or crazy, iPod hoodies take things that much farther...

Last night I chatted with a good reporter buddy who noted that he has seen a whole bunch of stories about iPod wannabes during the last month. He wondered why. I've heard lots of talk, too, from vendors certain that other music players will match iPod during 2005 and lay its lead to waste. After some deep reflection, I don't agree, because I see these other music players as competing in an apples and oranges race (pardon the pun) with iPod. The device is quickly moving beyond the role of just being a music player into that of an emerging platform. How much of a platform depends upon Apple's vision.

Digital technology for iPod does for radio what blogs did for the Internet.
The idea behind a podcast is simple, yet brilliant. Instead of using portable MP3 players such as the iPod only for listening to music, new software called iPodder allows one to download prerecorded radio shows onto the devices.
