Like everything Apple, the iPod Touch’s design is a study in simplistic beauty.
However, as with most things tech, there are those that just can’t help but tinker, which is why one crafty designer named 6mik has created a theme for jailbroken iPod Touches called Whitoken that gives a whole new look and feel to the default interface. (And reminds me a lot of Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.)

If you need a good reason to grow a giant beard this winter, Matthew Inman of Mingle2 has put together a list of 10 of them, and they include fantastic reasons like “It instantly turns any man into a badass (It’s like having machine guns on your face)”, “Every beautiful woman you meet will want to touch, stroke, and possibly frolic in your amazing beard”, and “you can hide things in it, such as weapons, tools, and snacks.”
Click below to view the full list, including fantastic illustrations of each.

Apple went iPod crazy on Tuesday, and released an updated Nano, a new Touch, a larger (and cheaper) Classic, and Shuffles in all new (for them) colors.
The tech blogs have all managed to beat this news into the ground already, so I’m not going to dive into the details, but what I am going to wonder aloud about is this: Why did it take Apple so long to release an iPod in a rainbow of colors? (Or Nano-Chromatic in Apple speak.)
While Apple was busy doling out doses of iPod five flavors at a time, ColorWare managed to make an entire business out of taking your iPod and adding color to it, and they even charge an extra fee to do so.
It’s obvious that the demand for colors has always existed, as evidenced by Apple’s decision to release their products in various (limited) colors along the way, and the mere existence of ColorWave, so why hasn’t Apple jumped on this bandwagon before?

If you’ve always wanted to have your own soundtrack, then check out SynchStep for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
SynchStep taps into the iPhone and iPod Touch’s motion sensor, and matches your music library to your pace. The result is that “every step you take lands in-time with a drum hit, a bass pluck, a piano chord”.
Unfortunately the beat that follows your feet is only available in “sucktacular beta” for now, but when the SDK goes live, prepare yourself for tons of fantastic apps just like this one.
