Well, I wasn't planning to announce this just yet, but next month I'm starting a job with the iPod group... however, I have no idea what I'll be working on, and when I do find out I'll be very legally bound not to tell anyone.

It'd be nice if it was automotive-related, but I think they have that tied up & many of the issues/limitations that exist are more to do with the 3rd party implementations than the device itself - and so will improve as the car makers improve their systems.

Effectively, this means that there may well be a lot more bay area meets - come October, when my H1B starts anyway - and goes some way to explaining why there will be a lot of empeg-related stuff being given away at my barbie come the end of July

This doesn't mean bad things for the empeg code (and its expert custodians) which is still on track to be in some hoopy (and yes, they are hoopy, I've seen the industrial designs) new players for the holiday season!
