iPod photo extractor
Macworld has a handy guide for iPod owners “…while visiting relatives a while back, I was showing pictures from a family event—thanks to the iPod photo’s handy present-on-the-TV feature—and got several requests to send one photo or another to various family members. I ended up writing down who wanted which photos and then grabbing them from iPhoto when I got home. But I wondered: How could I have pulled those photos off the iPod right then and there?” Here’s how – [via] Link. You can also check off a box in iTunes/iPhoto that says “include hi-res photos” too.
Griffin has a nice new product hack, they tapped the USB on the iPod Shuffle and it’s now both the lanyard and headphones in one – nice work “TuneBuds keep both the earbuds and shuffle handy around the wearer’s neck. Just snap TuneBuds onto the shuffle’s USB connector, and you’re up and running (or dancing). TuneBuds’ audio cable, integrated into the lanyard, keeps you free of excess cords and tangled lines.” 
Excellent DIY iPod dock for tinkering on panocamera “I needed a quick way to test signal interactions with a microcontroller and an iPod, so for about $50 and an afternoon of soldering, I threw together an iPod dock/breakout box. Ingredients include a small breadboard, and a $15 cheapie usb charger cable, which when stripped of its plastic housing luckily has all 30 dock connector pins ready to solder.” 
Handy tip for iPod video owners – “You don’t have to fork out for an outrageously priced “proprietary” Apple video cable. You don’t even have to buy an expensive dock. You can connect your Video iPod directly to a TV, and you can do it with the ordinary camcorder A/V-to-RCA cable you probably already have lying around your house.” [

Trevor writes “When I got my first iTrip, I loved it. Yea, the range and quality could be better, but hey, I’ve got my iPod playing in my car. Then I found a tutorial online which explained how to increase the iTrip’s range simply by taking the antenna out of the case. When I did it, I was amazed at the increase in audio quality. Such a simple hack can easily make your iTrip much better. Then, I got the new iTrip LCD from Griffin, which has an LCD screen to display the station and a knob to change it. Griffin says the LCD version has better audio quality and range than the old iTrip, but it still didn’t match my hacked iTrip. Since I couldn’t find a tutorial online, I decided to just dive in. I used the same basic method as with the old iTrip, with a few small changes. If you decide to do this to your iTrip, know that it does void the warranty, and you need to be very careful.”
