Colorware Adds Visual Spice to iPods, Better Scratch Protection For iPod Touch
We've covered Colorware's professional gadget painting in the past—and were more than satisfied after seeing their work close up, but their latest iPod coloring seems to be more than just cosmetic. The iPod Touch 2G color-coats the shiny silver metallic back with a color layer, which most likely handles fingerprints and scratches better than the original surface. They also paint iPod Nano 4G and iPod Classic as well as iPhone 3G, so you've got options on those devices as well. The process is not all that cheap ($125 to send yours in), but it's definitely worth it considering that they do a great job and you'll be using these gadgets for years. [Colorware] -

Ferrari Arno XI Hydroplane Is Remote Controlled, Costs Two Grand
Fans of classic speedboats can now reenact one of the most exiting races ever in their backyard pool with the remote controlled Ferrari Arno XI Hydroplane. The boat is a 1:10 replica of the Arno XI, which zoomed to a 1953 record-shattering 150.49mph. It's almost 3 feet in length, weighs 16 pounds and can be controlled from up to 500 feet away for 30 minutes per two-hour charge. The price for playing with the dreamboat of the 1950s is $2000.

It's Time V1.0 Brings Leopard Theme, Usable Dock to 5G iPod
Apparently, the It's Time hack provides iPod classic users with a proper Leopard theme, complete with a usable dock and other added OS X inspired fun stuff, including a Front Row-esque Now Playing screen and Finder-styled progress bars. We haven't confirmed this one ourselves and the images certainly are rendered, but if you're up to nothing, try this one out and let us know how it goes. [It's Time via iPod Wizard] -

Mac-O-Lanterns Put the 'E' Back In Halloween
Sure, there have been Apple/Halloween mashups lately, but these Mac-o-Lanterns steal the show as far as I'm concerned. With the creative use of spray paint, some epoxy paste, and a little photoshop work, the guys over at Bad Banana Blog took an old Mac Classic and gave it new life as holiday decor. I'll be expecting Old St. Mac to rear his head when December rolls around. Check out more photos here. [Gadget Lab via Tuaw via Bad Banana Blog] -

Continuing their trend of painting up gadgets you love, Colorware has extended their painting expertise to the iPod touch/nano/cassic as well as the iMac, ensuring your drapes always match the carpet. And if you want to see close-up shots to illustrate why their work warrants a somewhat premium price and is better than a crappy do-it-yourself job, take a look at our Colorware Xbox 360 gallery.
