Jody Whitesides, a musician from Burbank, Calif., poses with his 15-inch PowerBook and two of his four iPods. The MP3 players, he says, have come in handy when people ask to hear his music. "I'll just whip it out, dial up one of my songs and let them groove," he says. His latest iPod is video-capable, which lets Whiteside show off his music in living color. "Because of having the video iPod, I met a guy who is getting me connected to some heavyweights in the music business, just because he loved the video," he says.
