Reminder, 10% off new iPods with

Filed under: iPod Family, Deals If you're shopping for a new iPod this week, Daniel Jalkut at Red Sweater reminded us that you can get a 10% discount on a new iPod any day at your local Apple Store if you do one simple thing: bring in an old iPod to trade in. The program's been around since 2005, but it's always worth another mention. There are plenty of other options for recycling an old iPod, including some that will give you credit -- check them out. Rumor has it that some retail outlets are discounting iPods as well... Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Redeem iTunes gift cards

Filed under: iPod Family, iTS, iTunes, Software Update, iPhone When Apple released the iPhone / iPod touch 1.1.3 update; there was one new option in the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store that wasn't given much attention. With the inclusion of the update, you can now activate an iTunes Gift Card right from the Wi-Fi store. You can find this new "Redeem" option in the "Downloads" section of the Wi-Fi store. Just tap the button, enter in the code from the back of the gift card, and then click "Redeem" again, and the gift card will be added to your account. The only problem that I see about this option is the fact that you cannot view (on the go) how much money is still credited to your iTunes account, however, this is a welcomed feature to the iTunes Wi-Fi Store. [Update:] In the comments, some readers have noted that in the "Downloads" screen of the Wi-Fi Store, you will see your current iTunes account balance. Permalink | Email this | Comments

Create custom iPhone and iPod Touch webclip

Filed under: Macworld, iPod Family, How-tos, Internet Tools, iPhone Dan Dickinson has posted a super-simple way to ensure that those who visit your site with an iPod Touch or iPhone will get a nice-looking webclip icon. When I say simple, I mean it: * Create a 57x57 PNG. * Name it "apple-touch-icon.png" * Throw it in the root folder of your website. (Not the root of your server, the root of your web documents.) That's it. Note that your icon will receive the glossy treatment as well as those rounded corners, so keep that in mind. [Via Daring Fireball] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
