Ric, thanks for posting that! I'd been wondering where I could find out about the show specials.

A couple notes:

- The coupon code they provide for Crossover Mac also works for Crossover Games. I've been using the trial version for a couple of days to play a couple of PC games that I've kinda been missing since I switched to Mac full-time. It works well to satisfy the occasional PC gaming itch, at least for me, though I'm not particularly hardcore. Haven't tried Crossover for non-games yet, but based on my experience with running games, I'm convinced it's both solid and less annoying than running a full Windows environment in VMWare, so I'm going ahead and buying it.

- Any Frank Miller fans here (I'm guessing we have some) should have a look at Gelaskins' new offerings. Their market is mostly Macs and iThings, but they cover other devices too.

I have one of those and honestly it's not much for music, but it gives a really good improvement in the distance from which I'm likely to notice the phone ringing (1st generation iPhone's ringer is pretty weak). At $11 it'd be more than worth it to me just for that.

Also fairly pretty; good if a Lucite stand fits your office decor better than a standard slab-white iPod dock. (I'm actually somewhat serious about that.)

Definitely not for critical listening but the sound us fine for background music in an office or bedroom, and it is a great way to play podcasts or audiobooks anywhere. My son uses it all over the place and we would have used it with an infant like you have all the time. $11 is no-brainer territory.

It's a strange day when something that a mid-fi guy like me thinks good only for ringtones gets better scores from the the Omega-toting, DAC-offing, ball-rocking, customs-remolding, Dead-taping HC elite. Maybe I woke up in bizarro world this morning.

More seriously, what phone models are you guys using? Mine's just a 1st generation iPhone which doesn't have much of a speaker on it to begin with. Maybe the little Griffin thingy simply outperforms it, though I wouldn't have expected that.

it's just a matter of using it for what it's good for :)

I use my aircurve so that my iphone can function as an alarm clock, and so I can listen to XM sports and comedy while I work.
