The new iPod Nano

I saw this yesterday on Kevin Rose’s blog.  Supposedly it’s a picture of the redesign of the upcoming iPod Nano.

Rose does not disclose any type source or idea of how he came upon this picture or information.  Personally, I think that the design looks like an older gen iPod Nano that is just a tad [...]

Copy and Paste for the iPhone; Just do it already!

I still can’t wrap my head around this.  I just can’t understand why Apple has not integrated a copy and paste function for the iPhone yet.  According to Lifehacker there may be a way around this, even without a jail break app.  I just don’t understand why someone has to write a program to do this [...]
