<p>Having VLC available on the iPad would be hugely beneficial. VLC plays far more video formats than QuickTime or the iPad's built-in video support; on the Mac, I've often said that if VLC can't play it, it can't be played.

<em>Disclaimer:</em> Do this at your own risk and of course make backups of any files you alter.<br />

First, be sure iTunes is not running. Then, right-click on iTunes and select 'Show Package Contents.' Navigate to <em>Contents » Resources</em>. Inside there you will see lots of really colorful genre images labled 'genre-pop.jpg' or 'genre-rock.jpg' and so on.<br />

Simply copy one of those images to your desktop. Open it up in Photoshop (or your graphics editor of choice) and customize it to your delight.

<p>Recent revisions to the iOS developer agreements caused considerable controversy by restricting which programming languages could be used to develop iOS apps. Those changes also restricted what kind of analytics data could be collected by developers and advertisers.

Additionally, Apple will now actually publish a list of app review guidelines for developers—the first time the company has done so since the App Store launched more than two years ago.</p>

The Nike+iPod system has been a great idea from the get-go: Use this music machine not only to play tunes while you run, but also to measure your time and distance, provide audible updates on your stats and keep track of your progress over a period of weeks, months or years. Even if you're a purist who shuns on-the-run music, you might get something out of Nike+'s other features. The only problem with the original setup was that it required a bit of extra gear.

More surprising still, there doesn't appear to be anything Steve Jobs can do to stop them in the near future. The exploit in the boot ROM of iOS devices was first announced by iPhone Dev-Team member pod2g. It was soon confirmed by other hackers, who said that because the exploit targets such a low-level part of the operating system, Apple won't be able to stop jailbreakers without making significant hardware changes."

<p>The new $229 8 GB iPod Touch is a real new-generation device — Retina Display, dual cameras, etc. In prior years, the low-end Touch was based on the prior year’s new models.

<p>Differences Between iPod Touch and iPhone 4</p>
<p>The iPod Touch is, conceptually, a phone-less iPhone. No calls, no cellular data networking, but no two-year contract or monthly fees, either. But there are other differences. On the plus side for the Touch:</p>

<li>Thinner and lighter.</li>
<li>64 GB option.</li>

<div class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-207864"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;"><p>This morning, I headed over to the Apple Store and picked up a sweet little green <a href="http://tuaw.com/tag/ipod">iPod</a> nano to play with. (Thank you, red-headed Molly!) The nano is basically the size and weight of a 2G shuffle, with a cute little touch screen and a couple of buttons for volume control and Sleep/Wake. Of course, I was just as interested in what was inside the nano -- at least from a software perspective.</p>
<p>The interface is easy to use once you get comfortable with the lack of a Home button (you swipe to switch screens) and certain GUI changes (switch buttons are smaller and look slightly different from their standard iOS cousins). The nano refused to play with older versions of iTunes, expecting a minimum of iTunes 10.
