No iTreo in that link. I'm disappointed. I like my PDA/Phone convergence too much - if Apple comes out with one and not the other I will cry.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
EXCELLENT. Sheer musthaveness techaddiction convinced me I want a mini to hook up to my TV. Now with added FrontRow!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Damn them. Just in time for the tax refund, too.

I don't get a refund this year. I spent so much time working self-employed last year, with no taxes taken out of my check, I have to come up with about $1,000 by April 15th. Feh. FEH, I say!

Oh, Sean, that sucks something very large and unpleasant.

That sucks, Sean.
Well, at least you didn't wait until the last minute to do taxes, so you have a little warning.
ION, the Apple Boombox sounds nice - good integration between it and iPod. But no iPods with larger HD. If I buy a 60 Gig now, I'll probably have it filled again in a year or so.

I wonder how the sound would compare to my crappy stereo with really good speakers....
Oh well - I'll just keep on running a long cable from my iPod to my stereo for now.
eta. Huh. It does look cool....
