Pocket PCs Masquerade as iPods

Posted by pudge on from the i-smell-a-lawsuit dept.

agwadude writes "Wired News has a story about a British software firm called StarBrite that is selling a virtual iPod that runs on Microsoft's PocketPC operating system. It mimics the iPod interface exactly, including the unique scroll wheel. It's a mere $20 but this seems right considering it's only software, and it only supports MP3. MacDailyNews has a shorter story."

    "If knowledge is power... explain George W. Bush!"

    We, he is certainly smarter than that boob who lost the election after he made a false boast that he had invented the Internet.

    If I install a Fleshlight in an iPod, does that make me a music producer?

    We have seen that living things are too improbable and too beautifully "designed" to have come into existence by chance.
  4. Ted Williams' son, cryonics believer, dead at 35 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Howard Lovy's NanoBot alerts us to the death of John-Henry Williams, son of baseball great Ted Williams who was put in a cryogenic deep freeze in 2002. Apparently, John-Henry and his sister signed a pact with their father declaring their desire to be frozen. No word though on whether John-Henry went through with it. Link
    Update: bb reader Bryan Maloney points us to an ESPN.com article that says: "The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, citing family sources, reported John Henry Williams' remains were delivered to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., where his famous father's body has been stored since his death."

    (Can the trolleditors please do a rewrite of this into canonical "%s, found dead at %d" format. I'm too lazy to.)
