I really rely on my iPod (and my iTunes on my laptop) when I’m on the road. Probably another reason I’m so eagerly awaiting MoGo’s headset!

Here are some fun iPod tricks for those of you also on the go:

1) Listen to Wikipedia articles via your iPod. I recently refreshed my memory on the King Henry’s wives via Wikipedia.  There’s a service called Pediaphon that will automatically convert any Wiki article into a robotic podcast - which is actually way cooler than it sounds.

2) Catch up on NPR. My family has a strange addiction to Car Talk. You know, Click and Clack - the Tappit brothers? No? Oh, well you GOT to try them out. A lot of the shows are available only for a week after broadcast, which is a shame because Terry Gross’ interview with Gene Simmons was legendary.

3) Download YouTube to your iPod (or, even easier, use Vixy).  Although this takes longer than watching in a livestream from the site, some of these videos become as favorite as songs and are definitely worth having along to provide a well needed chuckle while on the road.

4) Catch up on your favorite blogs (like this one!).  If you have a corporate laptop and are concerned about loading it up with personal data - like the RSS feeds from the blogs you follow, never fear: there’s a way to actually bring those feeds into your video iPod.

5)  Catch up on your favorite authors or learn a new language. As much as I’m not one to endorse a commercial site, I recently got addicted to ‘Books on Tape’, by which I mean ‘AudioBooks on my iPod’ - a growing selection of which is now available at iTunes. My significant other, meanwhile, has been brushing up on his trigonometry while on the treadmill.

Either way? It’s all good.

The CES is a transformative event for the companies that attend as well as the consumers. For MoGo, the overwhelming response and interaction with everyone from other industry innovators to excited customers has been experience of immeasurable value.

Plug in to some of that excitement this weekend when MoGo’s own CMO, Jack Corrao, will be featured on the second part of Into Tomorrow’s Live CES Broadcast!

Jack will be chatting with Dave Graveline, the honcho behind Into Tomorrow, about MoGo’s experience at the CES and what’s ahead in 2008 (and beyond?).

Broadcasting From Las Vegas, Dave and his team will also be posting more video coverage from the show floor and counting down Dave’s Top 10 picks at CES.

Got a question for Jack? There’s an Ask Dave! hotline at 1-800-899-INTO (4686).

And don’t forget to check out their site for tons of news and behind-the-scenes photos from last week.
