1. You’re one of the first people to get your hands on the iPod Touch. Where did you get it? How did you find out it was on stock?

This is the last part of our interview with Dominique James. You can read the first part here and the second part here.
Any interesting gossip with models and Macs?

The models usually have the least number of songs in their iPods. They have the slimmest collection of music. With my Mac computer setup in the studio, I end up teaching them and influencing them about all things Mac. I bring them to the iTunes music store where they are surprised they could browse and buy songs legally off the Internet. I show them the many different must-have accessories for their iPods. …read more
