iPod batteries only last 18m

Frustrated that Apple wants to charge him $255 to replace the dead battery in his 18-month old iPod, one guy has decided to strike back with a guerrilla marketing campaign of his own -- he's been stencilling the words "iPods Unreplaceable Battery Lasts Only 18 Months" on Apple ads all over his town. See the movie...

Jan. 11th, 2004: Today I saw a TV-show from techTV which showed how easy it is to change your battery with a new from PDASmart for $59. You can also find a battery for $49 at Laptops for Less.

Killing the iPod slowly with coke

One of my collegues killed his iPod by drowning it in coca cola. Here is his story of how he disassembled it and tried to bring it back alive. The operation was a success, but the patient died - RIP.

You do have a change to vote for your favorite weblog of 2003 in the third annual weblog awards.

It also gives a great view of the trends in weblog design and links to a lot of great weblogs in the 30 categories.

Sorry, that there is no weblog awards for food - my new food log would have been up for a prize - except it is in danish.

T68i try it yourself

T68i

My old Nokia died Friday, so I had to get a replacement. I bought the Sony Ericsson T68i, because it got so great reviews in most magazines, like T3. It is a great phone, but I stroke against it all weekend, but the problem was basically that the account I used with my ISP (Tele Danmark Internet - Opasia Basic) was not for mobile phones. Well, after that it is great. Now I can get my emails everywhere - and the T68i is so easy to use, and extremely powerful.

Now I am just waiting to get one of the great
Cordless Bluetooth earphones - but I am primarily waiting for the BlueSpoon, which weight less than 10g and fit into your ear - it takes your voice from your bones!! And it got 100 hours standby time and 6 hours talking time - this is just cool and made in Denmark too.

Another cool thing is now I can record films and pictures with my Sony IP7BT and use bluetooth for attaching the films and images to emails! So great, when you are on the road! Did I mention, that you now can browse ordinary HTML pages on the camcorder? Ok, this is more fun than usefull.
