I contacted SwitchEasy because I thought it odd they don't mention Canada. While they don't sell to Canada they did give me the web address of a reseller here, Stuffed Box. It seems they're just getting going and don't have all the models in particular the one I was looking for but I've emailed them to check on availability so we'll see. If not I may well have to ask for some assistance in acquiring one.

One thing I did notice, with the 2G Rebel Touch I noticed that unless you're phones have a very small jack then an adapter may have to be used which is a bit of a turn off. I think the Image's would work but the SA6's definitely won't.

Or maybe not, I just got an email from Stuffed Box that says "Hi sorry all shipments has been halted by switcheasy. Unfortunately We won't be getting intil further notice." That seems odd seeing as SwitchEasy themselves directed me to them.

Yeah, not to organized from the sounds of things. Well after thinking about it a bit even though I think they look great the need to use an adapter for most phones has kind of turned me off, I haven't written them off completely but I think I'll have a further look around and see what else is available.

Is anyone actually using a BSE skin on these?

but no its a small time killer app that you really have no challenge or payoff of your creation. it seems it would be more enjoyed if one was high or drunk. you should use headphones with it so you can hear the lower bass notes. the different moods are not really all that different, atleast enough to really change things up that much. you can only pile so many samples on one creation till it just gets over loaded and sounds like crap.


again its an app where you would enjoy more if you were high or drunk.

Well I finally received my ipod touch case from Switcheasy. It not only took over two weeks to arrive but it is not the color I ordered. Not usually a big deal but the black does cost more than the other colors. I just sent a nasty message so will see what happens. Just a cautionary tale for the time being.

Hand it to a stranger and tell them to pick a album, seriously Genius and smart play lists may help you out a bit. of course your going to have to create the smart PL on your work station first. I have done the "blind picking" before where i just scroll the screen up and down with out looking at it then tapping on the album my finger lands on.

I just received the following email from Switcheasy:

Thank You

So apparantly the case I ordered will be arriving. We shall see. Stay tuned for updates.

P.S. I love the name Zoltan, it is one of the names I used to use as a kid when playing all the weird games we used to play.

I just grabbed Tube Clock. Works better horizontally than vertically (when it gets too small), but thought someone here may enjoy.

man, i love stanza. now that i've gotten some *cough* quasi-legal *ebooks*, i find myself having read about 1500 pages on my iPhone in the last week. i used to read eBooks on PocketPC, when i had one, but stanza works way, way better than those old apps did. if amazon sold ebooks for iPhone, fuck, i'd buy tons. screw the Kindle, the iPhone is good enough, i don't mind reading on it for hours and hours.

What sort of files does Stanza work with? PDF?

[edit]And FYI there is now a Google Earth app which is supposed to be pretty cool.
