I have great memories of popping in 8-track tapes in the stereo of my dad’s car when I was a kid.
As I got a little older I spent countless hours listening to records, only to quickly record them to cassette, so that I could carry them with me in my Sony Walkman.
8-track, turntables and cassette players were all essential to my music consumption growing up. Am I dating myself here? Don’t answer that.
In the last decade, digital music players have quickly replaced the above. We truly now live in the age of the MP3.
During April, join us for Throwback Thursday as we pay homage to some of our early favorite MP3 players from Apple, Sansa and Zune. You’ve probably owned a couple of these, you may even still own them.
Follow our blog each week to check out what’s for sale in our Throwback Thursday sale. We’re even giving away some gently used MP3 players we had lying around the Griffin photo studio. They’re fully functioning and practically good as new!
Details on our first item up for grabs tomorrow! Stay tuned.

iPad day is here! The rumors were true!
We asked last week what you would do if Apple released it’s long awaited tablet. The majority of you voted to add it to your wish lists. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that your wishes come true (it’s on my list too).
Now that the iPad is alive, you’re going to need a to protect it. We’ve been working hard to develop some great options for you.
Elan Sleeve
Slim enough to slip into a backpack, bag or briefcase; tough enough to protect your Apple iPad from whatever it may bump into in there. Slip your iPad into the Elan Sleeve, then flip the tab closure down to secure it. Gently pull the tab to slide your iPad out quickly and safely. For protection that looks great, Elan Sleeve is constructed of a stain-resistant synthetic outer shell with a smooth micro suede interior. Available for $34.99 in Spring.
Elan Passport
No matter where you and your iPad are headed, you can both travel in style with Elan Passport. The one-piece folio flips open to reveal your iPad’s Multi-Touch display, then closes like a book for privacy and protection. Elan Passport’s micro suede lining protects your iPad, all over, from scratches and smudges. Held shut by a tab closure, the inner cover includes pockets for ID, important papers, and more. You’re going to take your iPad everywhere. So you’ll need the case that’s ready for anything.

According to All Things Digital’s Media Memo, there are 6.6 million iPhone apps currently being sold each day, Peter Kafka wrote: 
…let’s note that the velocity of apps Apple (AAPL) is delivering is increasing: It took Steve Jobs and company a little more than a year to serve up the first 1.5 billion apps, which averages 4.1 million downloads per day. But Apple moved the next 500 million apps within 76 days. That’s a 6.6 million-per-day average.
Today Apple sent out a press release stating that two billion apps have been downloaded to date. There are now 85,000 apps in the App Store.
Not including the apps that iPhone includes, what’s the one app you can’t live without? Why?

Twitter has been exciting this afternoon as people were tweeting up a storm about Apple’s much anticipated iPhone 3.0 OS update. I must admit, I was guilty of jumping into the conversation too.
As my iPhone was updating, I created a fun survey to gauge your favorite new feature. Please take a moment to vote.
