ipod20wrist202_020screen20time2020mirror_0-images

The New York Times is reporting that Apple is secretly working in a prototype device that can be worn as a wrist-strap watch. According to sources within the company, the “… new curved-glass iPod that would wrap around the wrist,” will have the built-in functionality of Siri, allowing users to control the device with their voice. The inspiration seems to come from third-party accessories that make wrist watches of the iPod nano.

Apple announces Black Friday 2011 specials

We’ve seen a few leaks this week on Apple’s annual one-day-only Black Friday sales event. The savings on Apple products were accurately slight, but as in years past, Apple is offering significant savings on compatible third-party products. Save over $100 on Bowers & Wilkins speaker docks and various laptop bags, and you can get fun accessories like the Parrot AR.Drone for under $250.00.

Remembering 10 years of Apple’s iPod

With over 300 million units sold to date, it is no secret the iPod has become a major success in the portable music player industry.

Is Apple gouging Canadian customers?

Canada’s “loonie” dollar has been trading at a higher value than the U.S. greenback all this year so far. And unlike with its brief upward spike in 2007-’08—during which time it briefly hit US$1.10—this time the Canuck-buck is forecast to remain above-par through 2012 as well, and perhaps beyond. So, why should Canadians be paying higher nominal dollar prices for Apple hardware (and most everything else) than Americans?

How to set track by track volume and EQ in iTunes

Few things are more annoying then getting a big blast of way-too-loud music when you are wearing headphones. The 20 seconds of feeling like a moron for jumping at nothing will quickly fade away. The 20 minutes of ringing you will be hearing is much less fun. If you want to avoid this fate, then follow these steps for your playlist.

That old iPhone or iPad may be worth more than you think

One of the great perks of being a Mac owner is that they retain their value more than any other computer. Whether you’re selling them on ebay or trading them in for the purchase a new one, you can sometimes get more for your trade than PC users will spend on a new system. But what you may not know is that you’ll often receive pretty sweet deals on iDevice trades.

The TEAC SR-100i is ready for your holiday parties

It’s that time of season when friends and family gather together for an evening of wine, obnoxious sweaters and music. We can’t help you with the alcohol and poor fashion sense, but we can at least suggest you take a look at TEAC’s SR-100i when you’re ready to play some classic Spinal Tap, Wall of Voodoo and Dance Hall Crashers Christmas tunes…or are those just my parties? And is that why no one ever comes?

How to reset your iPod

Sometimes, you just need to reset an iPod. A lot of problems and inconsistent behavior can be handled with a reset instead of a full restore, which would actually wipe out your iPod data and give you a clean slate. It’s effective, but drastic, so you’ll always want to try a reset first (this is especially handy when your iPod is frozen; unable to turn on or off). Doing so is as simple as this…

Get ready for school with the Apple Online Store

Once again, the end of the Summer break is looming and the education system will soon be back in full swing. It doesn’t have to be all bad, though, because Apple is once again offering some great deals for students (and even teachers) in their Back to School campaign. This year, if you purchase both a qualifying Mac and iPod touch before September 7th, you could receive an online rebate up to $199. You can also get…
