Good evening,

A couple of new technology advances recently here.

The first was participating in the social networking phenomenon of Facebook. Wow, as if I didn't have enough ways to waste my precious time, I come across this veritable 'black hole' of online frippery. Sorry, gotta go 'poke' someone..........

The second item is (yet another) iPod, this time the third generation Shuffle, with the feature of 'Voice Over' to announce songs, artists & playlists. Impossibly tiny form factor, cool technology and very good sound is sadly let down by proprietary ear buds which I just can't keep in my ears long enough. I need to wait for the after market ear canal type phones to fully enjoy this rather expensive 4GB player.

Update: Apple have a new pair of in-ear phones compatible with the controls required for the 3rd Gen Shuffle. Will give them a try.

Bye for now, BomberBoy
