After Terence and I had done our earlier iPod transparent/x-ray shot experiment, I had this idea for a little mock Apple advertisement. So here's the product of our fevered imaginations.
Strobist info (which Terence, below, reminds me to add): 580EX M1/1 into white foamcore, camera left, for a side fill. SB-25 M1/1 bounced off the ceiling, both fired via Pocket Wizard Plus II's. The iPod dock is stuck via double-sided tape to a reflective black acrylic sheet.
This shot required three initial images (and a fourth for additional detail); we left the dock in place and shot from the same position with the same lighting each time, but dismantled the iPod one step at a time between the shots. The fourth shot was a higher ISO, to get a brighter and more detailed image of the circuit board to blend in for increased detail. The set of shots were combined in Photoshop CS4, and then the text added. :)

I took this a while ago. That's my trusty 20gb 3g iPod with my sisters 40gb 3g iPod and my all time favorite Grado SR-60 headphones. Her 40gb was sadly stolen by some lowlife scum.
I know these things have their detractors, but I think they're great. I use them for all sorts of stuff - my small camera, my phone and of course my iPod. They stop your gear from getting scratched while not adding much bulk. I just don't get the idea of buying a tiny piece of electronics and then putting an inch of armour around it.
New toy... Walking out of the Mac store at the King of Prussia Mall. It took me longer to walk through the mall to get to the store than to actually pick this puppy out and make my purchase.
I can not wait to start playing with video on this!
Tonight at the Apple store in London they were putting all our Nanos into "limited edition" bags. Like the Nano itself, it attracted fingerprints :)
iPod + iTrip ($22.99) + Waterproof Radio ($12.97) = iPod + Waterproof Case ($149.95)
Thanks for the mention pt!
My first attempt at clones. It isn't perfect, but its not bad. It was hard to get it done with two kids stuck inside because of all the rain.
These are all my iPods, except the red one, which is my wife's.

Okay, I just purchased an iPod Hi-Fi (on Apple's 30th birthday!). It's sitting in front of me and I'm listening to it right now. Here is my impression after two days of usage...it is a VERY nicely designed product. The size is perfect and the ability to run on battery is highly convenient. As expected, it mates with the iPod beautifully (I have an iPod mini). The million dollar question is how does it sound? Well, honestly, do NOT expect to be amazed. Once you stop expecting earthshattering performance from it, it'll pleasantly surprise you. Some music sounds better on it than other (see end of this review). I'd say the sound quality/performance is good but not jawdropping, EXCEPT when you turn the volume up...way up! It can power a nice sized backyard party. I would not, however, buy it as a home theatre system replacement. It just doesn't have the floor-shaking bass nor the head-turning soundstage. Don't get me wrong, it sounds very good for what it is. It's perfect for the bedroom, in the backyard, on a boat, at tailgate parties. But is it worth the price for me? I'm still debating with myself on that question. It would be a nobrainer if I have an Airport Express and a 5G iPod already.
Music with emphasis on the following sounds great on iPod HF:
1. acoustic guitar/banjos
2. female vocals (superb!)
3. piano
4. music with real instruments
Music with too much of these doesn't sound as good on iPod HF:
1. music with a lot of bass
2. violin
3. synthesized music
4. tracks with weak recording
5. sound effect heavy music
