iceBar2 from Atlantic is an integrated iPod case and miniature speaker system for all three generations of the iPod nano. However, it's a nano case and speaker system with a nifty twist -- the whole kit and kaboodle is waterproof. The last time I reviewed a waterproof case I was impressed, but in real life I never used it once the review was done, mostly because the waterproof earphones I reviewed with it weren't very good. The nicest thing I could say about them was: They work. You can listen to music, even when your head is completely immersed. However, that's about all I can say for them.

Thomas Weisel Partners upgraded Apple Monday, saying the company's current share price severely discounts long-term growth potential. The firm also said the risk that 2008 results will disappoint has faded. Analyst Doug Reid moved his rating to "Overweight" from "Market Perform" and raised his price target to $195 from $188. The new target implies he expects shares to rise about 27 percent over Friday's $153.08 close. Apple will likely report a 24 percent compound annual revenue growth rate over the next five years, said Reid.

Two Missoula, Mont., entrepreneurs have launched software for the iPhone, iPod touch and laptop computers that upends the conventional sense of social networking. Unlike online dating and friendship Web sites where connections are made in cyberspace, the software's goal is moving people from virtual relationships into real ones. The software is aimed at the tech-savvy generation who are comfortable mingling online. It's an icebreaker that could lead to a smile or conversation, say Glenn Kreisel and Steve Saroff, who are partners in the company, iCloseby.

Last week I was in Shanghai, China -- which is truly an amazing place -- attending the Intel Developer Forum, where the company is officially launching its new Netbook and iPhone-like mobile Internet device platforms. This is actually the first time I've seen products that are based on Linux that may exceed Apple's vaunted user experience. While here, I'm reading a book titled True Enough, which not only explains why Apple fans think everyone who doesn't believe like they do are paid by Microsoft but also tells you how to predict the U.S. presidential election.

After two years of stellar service, my beloved iPod suddenly started giving me gip last week -- crashing three times in an afternoon. Although I managed to restart it each time, I couldn't understand why it should suddenly start malfunctioning now -- after all, I've only had it for two years, and I've been careful to look after it. My partner, however, was not remotely surprised. My problems, she said, were yet further evidence in support of her conspiracy theory that Apple deliberately tries to destroy its older iPod models, by designing software updates that make them malfunction.
