A must have die hard Family Guy fans. Available for a limited time this 160GB iPod costs $439, $90 more than the stock iPod and has Brian scratching his butt saying "That Feels So Good" etched onto the back of your iPod. Each one of these babies are etched with licensed art from the Family Guy camp and individually numbered. Only 2000 pieces are made and they would come in two color variations, black and silver. Oh and Season 7 premiers September 28 starting with ‘Something something dark side’ which will be a parody of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Season 7 looks promising with Simpsons. I am particularly looking forward for this one - 6ACX18 “Family of the Future” [Family Guy and Futurama crossover]: Stewie invents a time machine to see if he rules the world in the future. However, the system starts to malfunction, and sends the whole family into the 30th century, where they meet the characters of Futurama. Meanwhile, Stewie befriends Bender and they become pals, but turns Stewie into a robot. Check the Season 7 line up.
Apple is preparing significant changes to the iPod nano as it prepares a dramatic ramp-up in iPhone 3G shipments, according to a report by FBR Research analyst Craig Berger. The investment expert now anticipates an updated, lower-priced iPod nano in the near future on top of refreshes for both the iPod classic and iPod touch. Further details are unavailble, though Apple has traditionally increased capacities of the iPod in August or September as flash memory and hard drive technology improves; the company took the unusual step this year of doubling iPod touch capacity to 32GB just a few months after the product was introduced.
Apple is also now said to be increasing its iPod production to match and is estimated to be building 15 percent more of the media players than it did with Berger’s previous check, although he adds that the shift is now more towards the iPod nano and classic rather than the iPod touch, which has regularly been Apple’s second-strongest iPod in terms of online Apple Store sales since its debut. The move is reported to push Apple’s profit margins down for the sake of maintaining or growing iPod sales share.

Nike and Apple are making the iPod compatible with gym equipment.
Soon iPod users will be able to hook it up to equipment at gyms and health clubs to track workouts.
The companies announced Tuesday that they are working with gym equipment manufacturers and health clubs to allow members to plug their iPod Nano into cardio equipment to track workouts, set goals and upload the information to a Nike Web site.
The new technology is expected to hit gyms this summer.
It’s another major partnership for Nike Inc. and Apple Inc., which created Nike+ technology more than a year ago.
