Lots of short little flash-style animations (apparently it&#8217;s Flash wrapped inside Quicktime &#8212; odd), some short demos of the iPod and how it works, and various &#8220;hints and tips&#8221; on how to convince your parents to get you an iPod. Some of the iCards that can be sent through the site gave me a laugh &#8212; the one I&#8217;ve got pictured here was my favorite of the bunch. There are also &#8220;help around the home&#8221; coupons, a points-for-grades suggestion, and even a small screensaver featuring the dancing silhouettes from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ipod\/ads\/\" title=\"Apple - iPod - iPod Ad Gallery\">recent iPod ads<\/a> listed as &#8220;subliminal advertising&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already noticed iPod ads on quite a few of the buses around the Seattle area.
