Six ways to Play an iPod in Your Car
iPods are very popular devices, but many people have problems getting them to play in their vehicles. This article looks at the six different ways you can play an iPod in your car.
Merge iTunes Libraries
If you use iTunes on multiple computers, you’ve probably run into the problem of having several copies of the same song in different places and no good way to get one consolidated library of all your songs. The method described here doesn’t merge the iTunes xml file, but it will merge all of your song files to make sure you have one copy of each song. Once you have this consolidated directory, you’ll have to re-import all of your music into iTunes.

Blackberry 7230 First Impressions
Previously I reviews the Blackberry 7100t. While I was generally happy with the device, I found that I was avoiding typing because of the strange keyboard (multiple letters on each key). I started looking for a better solution and started looking at the Blackberry 8700 series. While these looked like great phones, they were very expensive-generally about $300 even when signing up for a 2 year plan.After a brief search on ebay I found a 7230 for under $80. It doesn’t have some of the additional features of the 8700, but I figured it would give me a good chance to try out the keyboard and see how I like the form factor. If I decide I don’t like it, I’m not out much money and I can always turn around and sell it again on eBay.
Another reason I went with the cheaper phone is because neither the 8700 nor the 7200 phones work with OS X as a modem. However, the newest Blackberry Pearl 8100 does work with OS X. I don’t want a Pearl because it has a similiar key layout to the 7100t, but I’m hoping that the next phone released with a full keyboard will have the OS X compatibility.
