I guess that should have happened long time ago but it’s better late than never, as The Simpsons arrive to the iPod in a few different styles that are engraved onto different iPod devices, including iPod Classic 80/160GB ($329 and $439), Nano 4/8GB ($219 and $269), Shuffle 1/2GB ($89 and $109), and iPod Touch 8/16/32GB ($389, $499 and $599). Naturally, they cost a little more but you will be able to add your name or other caption at your choice. Mind you, there are only 2000 pieces of each, so if you consider yourself a real Homer junky, you should hurry up.

The new miShake PMP from Electro Box houses a Shocktronix mechanism, which allows users to change songs while shaking the player. Mind you, this is not a revolutionary feature, as we’ve already seen this Shake Control Technology on Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman devices.
