Not to point out the obvious -- but the iPod has revolutionized the way we consume music. We buy music a la carte and play songs in the order we want -- not the order dictated by some record producer. We also listen to our music anywhere we please now thanks to a world of new products that range from ear buds that are customized to the shape of our ears to the most sophisticated home entertainment systems.

Five Days With Apple TV Take 2 February 25, 2008 
After Apple announced the upgrade and lower price for its Apple TV, casually dubbed "Take 2" by CEO Steve Jobs in his Macworld keynote address in January, I knew I'd finally shell out the cash to buy one.

Live From Macworld: Fresh Air, Sharper iPod Video, User-Friendly Storage January 16, 2008 
At first glance, the MacBook Air reminded me of the photos Palm released of the Folio before sending that product to an early grave -- but the Folio was something you couldn't quite call a real computer. It was, according to Palm, a companion unit to a smartphone, or some such marketing jargon. The Air, on the other hand, stands on its own skinny legs.

The iPod in the iPhone: How's the Music? July 17, 2007 
Perhaps the biggest reason the iPhone has garnered such a freakish amount of attention is the overwhelming success of its music-playing predecessor, the iPod. While video, calling and Web browsing are important, the iPhone wouldn't be here today if not for the music. So what about it? How's the music experience of the iPhone? On the surface, the answers are simple, but dig a little deeper and minor quibbles abound.

Peace One Day, Four Things You Need With an iPhone, Alienware Product of the Week June 25, 2007 
This week, if forecasts are to be believed, 19 million of you will line up to buy fewer than one million first-generation iPhones from Apple.
