Apple SMASH! Rawr! If you're one of the thousands of people that crashed Apple's support forums with complaints of the buggy iTunes 7.0 release, you can stop hitting F5 now and put down the pitchforks, a patch has just been made available.

The release notes aren't particularly that extensive, with Apple only mentioning that "iTunes 7.0.1 addresses stability and performance issues with Cover Flow, CD importing, iPod syncing, and more." Either way, as long as it works and works well, we're all good right?

Among the complaints leveled at the version 7 release of iTunes, which Apple hailed as the "most significant enhancement to the worldÂ?s most popular music jukebox and online music and video store since it debuted in 2001," we're issues relating to frequent crashes, poor audio quality and interface graphic anomalies. Cross your fingers, now if they'll just lower the price of those movies and up the image quality a wee bit...

I love my PSP, but I've never purchased any sort of protection for the unit, I've always just used the soft carrying case it came with. Those armor type cases didn't make much sense to me because I wear cargo pants so I just slip the thing in my massive pocket, and I try to not make it a habit of dropping the device anyway. I've always kept an eye on screen protectors though, mainly because no one wants to scratch up their PSP's pretty surface, but I never got one because I didn't like the idea of seeing a sheeny, shiny screen of plastic laid over my regular screen, obstructing my vision and dimming the PSP's screen brightness. If you've felt the same way, you might want to keep reading, because there's a product on the market that should make you a pretty happy camper. Oh, and in case you don't own a PSP and are wondering what this story is doing on your fave blog, it's because the the InvisibleSHIELD can be custom cut to fit over 400 different devices, including PDA's the Nintendo DS, and yes, the iPod too.
