Filed under: Cellphones, Displays, Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Portable Audio Ah, can you smell; the autumn in the air? For some that means it's iPod season, which, incidentally, just celebrated its fifth birthday this week. We've got the scoop there and on how you too can avoid blowing out the Windows virus candles your iPod may have shipped with, as well as some talk on Logitech snapping up Slim, Art Lebedev's latest project, and some interesting (albeit unsurprising) details that surfaced about the Treo 680 on Cingular.

Filed under: Cellphones, Features, Gaming, Handhelds, Laptops, Podcasts, Portable Audio What a week for product launches! Seems like out of the gate past E3 everybody wanted to get theirs out the door: Apple loosed the MacBook, Motorola and Verizon launched the Q, Sprint and Verizon launched the Palm Treo 700p, and Sony launched their UX Micro PC. But it wasn't all rosy new toys for everyone to play with, Creative and Apple are heading to court to go toe to toe over some patents, as apparently is XM and Pioneer over the RIAA-contestable recording capabilities of the Inno.
