iBoy: iPod in a GameBoy

This incredible iPod case was made from an original GameBoy circa 1989.

Is the iPhone a True 6th Generation iPod?

Well, it finally happened. Apple released a new version of the iPod with a widescreen/touchscreen display. However, the new device is NOT an iPod, at least not in the traditional sense. In actuality it is so much more. A cellular phone, a wireless internet device, and music player all in one glorious package. But is [...]
