pBop turns PocketPC into a virtual iPod for $20from Wired News:

StarBrite is selling a pPod, a virtual iPod for Pocket PCs, that -- given Apple's past tolerance for knockoffs -- may not be available for very long.
Indeed. In fact, it appears that the pPod has already been renamed the pBop.
"It works exactly the same way [as the iPod], except it's software and it costs $20," said a spokesman for the company, who wished to remain anonymous.

Pepsi and iTunes to sell some iPodsPsst! If you've been thinking about buying an iPod, this might be a good day.

If you buy today, you can get 10% off the price of iPods and many related accessories.

The discount is obviously related to Apple's 100 million free songs promotional deal with Pepsi. Some of the people who see the Superbowl ad will log on to iTunes.com. Why not take advantage of that?

Get the details here.

Brushes with greatness

I feel like a real blogger today. Walking to the Moscone Center for the Macworld keynote this morning, I ran into Andy Ihnatko. (I apologized. Ba-DUM-pum.) Moments later, I found myself in line with Doc Searls of Linux Journal and ClueTrain fame. During the keynote, I was seated next to Doc, who in turn was next to Bryan Bell (whose templates taught me much about Web design).

Doc and I took notes along with Adam and Tonya Engst, the Publisher and Senior Editor of TidBITS using a cool tool called SubEthaNet (whose usefulness and purpose I finally get).

This is fun!
