  If you're looking for some commute-time listening, Adam was a guest
  on both MacBreak Weekly and the Tech Night Owl Live this past week,
  talking in both cases about the recent Apple announcements. Also,
  for those considering a new iPod nano, note that you can now easily
  turn it into a wristwatch, and if you're wondering what happened to
  VersionTracker, it was subsumed into CNET Downloads.


**Put an iPod nano on Your Wrist** -- The iPod nano has finally shrunk
  enough to live in the most obvious spot on your body - your wrist.
  iLoveHandles is selling the $19.95 Rock Band, a leather strap to
  which the new iPod nano clips such that it looks just like a
  wristwatch. Now we're wondering if there will ever be an iPhone nano
  that could be attached in a similar fashion.

**Adam Discusses Apple Releases on MacBreak Weekly** -- Last week,
  Adam was a last-minute guest addition to the popular MacBreak Weekly
  netcast, joining host Leo Laporte and Andy Ihnatko to talk about all
  the recent Apple news: Ping, Apple TV, the new iTunes interface,
  mobile gaming, and much more. It's an enjoyable bit of Apple-centric
  chatter, in both audio and video formats.

**VersionTracker Subsumed into CNET Downloads** -- Thanks to Ted
  Landau for pointing out the story behind the shutdown of
  VersionTracker, which readers had started to ask us about. CNET,
  which acquired VersionTracker several years ago, is merging
  VersionTracker into CNET Downloads. It doesn't look like the overall
  functionality will change much, but the VersionTracker name will go
  away.
