- Soon an ultra compact power adaptor for the iPod - Lionel - 09:42:23

Thank you to the readers who drew our attention to the photographs of the accessories for the iPod on the Apple Store.



One sees there a very compact adapter which does not seem yet marketed. It will be it probably as soon as stocks of old ones are finished unless Apple reserves it just for the United States. Although one cannot see it in detail the plug seems welded to the adapter contrary to the current adapters where the end is interchangeable.

Western Digital issued a press release to announce that mass production of its 2.5" hard drives of 500 GB had started. It thus joins Samsung which has marketed disks with the same capacity since the Spring.
These disks have two platters of 250 GB and are 9,5 mm thick; this makes them compatible with Macbook and MacBook Pro. The price of the Western disk is of $219,99.
