Woz's design was not so complex that no one at Atari could figure out how it worked.
"Bushnell dangled a financial reward. Payment was to be based not upon delivery of the new game, but on how efficiently it could be manufactured."
"Woz needed no excuse to bury himself in a design project - especially ont that put a premium on a solution using the fewest number of chips."
From "APPLE: the inside story of intrigue, egomania, and business blunders"
Ironically, Wozniak's design was so complex that no one at Atari could figure out how it worked. They had to redesign the entire game so it could be tested.
iPod comes with 32MB of memory buffer, good enough for 20 MINUTES worth of music. I would like to see the reviewer jiggle for whole 20 minutes to get it to skip.
IIRC, Apple did this because France complained about the 104dB Max volume. iPod sale was banned in France for a short while over this. Blame the French !:)

Belkin Battery Pack for iPod
1. That's why there is a "Hold" switch on the top, and they also included a wired remote control.
I assume this is the 3G ipod ???
Before I update the firmware to 2.1, it didn't give me much warning before it dies. Now its all fixed. The gauage is much more accurate too.
There was only once I felt the gauage lied to me. I saw the gauage at about half, 45 minutes later it was out of juice.
