The Future of iPod Accessories: Cars, Cars, Cars
CoolTechZone's Gundeep Hora reports:
Now that the market is proliferated with a multitude of iPod accessories, what's the next step for iPod accessory makers? Why, cars, of course. We had a talk with Kensigton at CES 2008 where the company was showcasing an entire product line for cars for the famed music player. None of the accessories we saw on the show floor, whether from Kensington or anyone else, were overly complex for obvious reasons. It was mainly adapters, holders, FM tuners or a mixture of all three. Nice, simple and to the point.

How To: Tell your iPod touch has the January Upgrade
TUAW's Erica Sadun says:
.....What you might not know is that in order to purchase the iPod touch January upgrade you must be logged into your iTunes account and you must be running iTunes 7.6. You cannot make this purchase using earlier versions of the software.
If you ever restore your iPod and need to get back those upgrades, once again you need to use the magic of 7.6 plus be signed into the account with which you purchased it. I found out the hard way that your Mac doesn't automatically "remember" that you purchased it and that it belongs on your iPod touch.

iPods Cleared Of Pacemaker Interference Charges
Ars Technica's Justin Berka reports:
Last summer, a high school student caused quite a stir when he suggested that an iPod's electromagnetic field could interfere with pacemakers. A number of people questioned the study, meaning of course that more studies were needed. Since portable media players are a widely-carried item (although they're not as widely-used among the elderly), the Food and Drug Administration stepped in and did its own testing. According to Reuters, the study found that iPods should not interfere with pacemakers.

Apple France Attacks an iPod Clone Distributor and Wins
HardMac's Lionel reports:
Over the last few months, we have reported several cases of clones or counterfeited iPods being on sale in France but although in several countries in Europe too. We were rather surprised but the apparent inaction from Apple which was acting like the company did not care of such copies being sold to unfortunate consumers.
In fact, Apple France won its first legal action concerning an conflict from August 2007.....
