The Case for the iPod touch⇢
Karan Varindani:
The iPod touch is a lot of kids’ first Apple device. That initial experience is what’ll convince them to get an iPhone in the future. And with Android (and now Windows Phone 8) strongly competing with the iPhone, it’s in Apple’s best interest to make that initial experience as appealing as possible.
While I’m not sure Windows Phone 8 is competing with anyone at this point, let alone “strongly,” Karan’s case is solid.

The State of the iPod
With the Internet taking a collective poop in its pants about Apple’s iPhone event a week from today, rumors of an update to the iPod line have begun to take shape as well.
It’s about time the iPod family get an overhaul.
Let’s look at the iPod line, item by item. (If you want to hear a complete history of the iPod family, check out Episodes 20 and 21 of the 512 Podcast.)
‘This is What the Next iPhone Will Look Like’⇢
Rene Ritchie:
This information comes from sources who have been reliable in the past. While nothing is confirmed until Apple shows it off on stage, based on the parts, dummies, and other reports, it seems highly probable.
While I like Rene, that headline is awful. No one knows what the next iPhone will look like outside of a handful of people at Apple.

Fighting the Good Fight⇢
Joel Bernosky on The Daily Helmsman’s funding crisis:
It’s important to allow press to be free and ideas to flow freely. It doesn’t matter if the discussion is of a college newspaper or the New York Times. When credibility is challenged, readers and observers will decide to stay, or to move on. Pulling a stunt like the University of Memphis did, only increased the Helmsman’s credibility, for standing its ground, and fighting the good fight; it then made the administration look like fools.
