...Though iPods are still the gold standard for MP3 players, at nearly 6 oz. they can be a chore to jog with. Flash memory players are often smaller, but they can hold only a fraction of the 10-GB iPod's 2,500 song capacity. Enter the Rio Nitrus Mini Jukebox ($299), a 1.5-GB MP3 player with a slim profile that can still hold 400 titles. Nitrus gets 16 hours of battery life--twice the iPod's--and the included Sennheiser earbuds give great sound...
...tattered blazer and cut one side of their hair shorter than the other. And that's unfortunate because that usually is the first sign of a scene getting ready to crumble." It can't bode well when, for $100 a month, a store can rent an iPod that a "music stylist" has loaded with the trendiest obscure songs and Urban Outfitters sells T shirts emblazoned with names like LOWER EAST SIDE and CBGB...

...plans to expand the company beyond 40 employees or take it public. DriveSavers works so well, he says, precisely because it is small and nimble. Beyond acquiring expertise in new drive types--such as the CompactFlash cards used in digital cameras and the tiny drives in Apple's iPod--there is no need to diversify. Everyone seems happy with their compensation. Why bother to grow? CBL's CEO, Bill Margeson, currently expanding into Europe and Australia, says Gaidano and his troops are beholden to the Hollywood crowd and "haven't taken the initiative to go to new markets." But there...
Some add-ons are perhaps a tad over the top. Felicidade has a pleather Groove Bag available on drbott.com that turns a specially designed tote into an iPod-powered boom box. And Griffin developed a prototype infrared gimmick that allows the iPod to double as a TV remote control--but Apple refused to let Griffin access its top-secret operating system for this purpose. Let's hope Steve Jobs adopts the attitude of my girlfriend, whose motto is "Don't agonize; accessorize...
