It looks like Apple has pulled the plug on the many websites that plunder its extensive archive of high resolution album artwork. The popular Josh's iTunes Album Art Grabber, and many others, ran into difficulty when attempting to retrieve the gorgeously detail 600px by 600px covers, offering only the 170px by 170px versions. The larger versions are still available to those who purchase music from the iTunes store but it looks like we’ll all have to turn to the lower quality Amzon.com for our audio library needs.

Expodition is a new service that aims to use PSS (Pod Snap Shot) to give your iPod the power to guide you through locations of your choice. Like the little brother of RSS, PSS is a personal travel guide for your iPod, giving you details on anything from the closest transport links, nearby cash machines and banks, to the best places to eat and shop. The service begins by collating as much information about your travel preferences; you then enter the post code of your destination and Expodition will send you an email containing the PSS to be downloaded onto your iPod. Pre-historical sat nav it may well be, but this could certainly come in handy for iPod and travel lovers alike.
