1. 2000 Songs in Your Pocket
Some things don't change. iPod remains the easiest, most stylish way to keep your music collection handy. Driving. Walking. Flying. Biking. Hiking. Snowboarding. However you recreate, iPod fits in your pocket and lets you take your favorite tunes with you wherever you go.
And now you can take even more of them with you.
Over 2000 songs can fit on the capacious 10GB hard drive on the new iPod, announced today at Macworld Tokyo.*
And that's not all: now you can take your contacts with you, too. Simply drag and drop contacts from Microsoft Entourage, Palm Desktop, or the Mac OS X Address Book onto iPod.

2. The All-Digital Family Gets Bigger
What offers even more screen real estate than a 22-inch Apple Cinema Display?
Why, it's the new 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.
The all-digital LCD display offers twice the brightness, sharpness, and contrast ratio of a CRT. Supporting up to 16.7 million richly saturated colors and delivering an amazing 2.3 million pixels, the Apple Cinema HD Display is ideal for a wide variety of uses, including high definition (HD) video authoring and editing, science and technology applications involving complex illustration or graphics rendering, or design and publishing. Consider: two-page spreads on a single display.
Sleek and slim, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display weighs just 25 pounds yet offers 75% more onscreen workspace than a typical 21-inch CRT. Want to see what one looks like?

3. It's Remote Control for Your Mac
Teachers can use it to monitor student activity, give a class demonstration that students can watch on their own Mac displays, or provide individual attention to one or several students via "text chat."
System administrators can install new software or software updates, perform system maintenance, easily capture system profiles (including installed hardware and software) for detailed reporting, and can even wake, shut down, restart, or put systems to sleep remotely.
New for Mac OS X, Apple Remote Desktop is the ideal tool for managing Macintosh computers on a local network, on an AirPort wireless network, or on the Internet.
How can you say hello to your Mac across the Internet?

4. Built for Mac OS X--Bluetooth
At Macworld Expo in Tokyo, Apple previewed its Bluetooth technology for Mac OS X, enabling short-range wireless connections between a Mac and Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Using Apple's Bluetooth Preview Software and the D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter, you'll be able to connect to a variety of Bluetooth-enabled digital devices to synchronize and share contact information with Palm-OS-based PDA's, access the Internet through a cell phone, and even share files between other Macintosh computers.
The Bluetooth Preview Software, which requires Mac OS X v10.1.3, will be available for free download in early April and the D-Link Bluetooth USB adapter can be ordered from the online Apple Store for just $49.
How can you take advantage of Bluetooth on your Mac?

5. Now iPod Imports Your Equalizer Settings
In a past issue, we explained how you could instruct iTunes to display an Equalizer column and how you could then set an Equalizer preference--Acoustic, Electronic, Vocal Booster--for each song in a playlist.
1. Click on a playlist. 2. Pull down the Edit menu and choose "View options." 3. Click the check box next to Equalizer and click OK.
Now that capability is more important than ever. Once you set those Equalizer preferences, iPod will import them the next time you update its music library.
But first you have to update your iPod by installing iPod Software Updater 1.1.

6. Personalize Your iPod
Keep it simple: Kat's iPod
Be Sweet: You are my muse These are your tunes
Commemorative: Championship Team 2002 Sandusky High School
Or Maternal: Enjoy Georgetown And call once in while
Now you have the opportunity to personalize the iPod you buy for yourself or someone special. Starting March 24 in the U.S. and Japan, we'll laser-engrave your message on the back of the iPod you purchase from the online Apple store, an Apple retail store, or an Apple reseller.*
In the U.S., you'll have two lines of 27 characters each (spaces included) to say what you'd like.*
Any ideas?

* In Japan, laser engraving will be available only from the online Apple store, and line lengths will vary by character set.
