Oh geeze. Another "When are the Beatles coming to iTunes" posts? Well, I haven't actually written one yet, so I'm in the clear. But on that note of Beatles and iTunes, we do have to ask: What's the holdup? According to a fresh Reuters posting all of the involved parties can't reach a legitimate deal. Someone isn't getting as much money as they feel entitled to. That's what it really boils down to. It's sad too. While I can't stand the Beatles (Go on, rake me over the coals...), I underst...
JBL Snowflake speaker: The coolest iPod accessory that doesn’t exist?

The world of iPod docks and accessories is probably never ending. If there were one brave soul who decided to catalog it all, it would be a monumental undertaking that would more than likely be the death of him. Poor guy. There's just so much junk out there. In order to keep your own product from not blending in, you have to be different. Is the Snowflake Speaker different enough?
Sadly, this is nothing more than a concept from the head of designer Sylvain Gerber. But if it were real, w...

"I wish there was something I could use that would charge everything I owned all at once!!"
Don't fear extremely tech savvy older lady, iHome has got you covered!
Yes, you heard right, or if you can see, saw the picture, and you now know that iHome isn't some white or black alarm clock radio thing that you can plop your iPhone/iPod into anymore. It is now the He-Man of bedside gizmos. If you have things that need to be charged, and are cussing the designer of your humble abode for not in...
Upcoming iPod Shuffle revealed. Now features 1.2″ x 1.2″ display (and no buttons)?

Grains of salt and salt shakers folks. Hold 'em high and proud as we venture into the abyss...
Supposedly this is the upcoming iPod Shuffle, that if history repeats itself as it has in the past, should drop to the masses sometime around the September time frame. The leak comes from tw.apple.pro (Google Translated) and is void of any other detail, save for the image above.
The idea of a minuscule 1" touchscreen seems like one hot mess -- and I mean that in a bad way. Then again, a button...
The 8-track reborn into iPod slinging retro-mod..

If you're like many-a-aging gadget freaks, you've no doubt accumulated your fair share of electronic gadgetry over the years. I'm sure at least a few of you still have 8-tracks sitting in the basement collecting dust. Why not do something with them? Give them a second chance at life.
That's exactly what one modder, "themadhacker", did. He took an old 8-track and rearranged it's innards so that an iPod Mini could fit inside and configured it so that magnetic head would play music from the...
sn0wbreeze 1.6 has it’s way with iPhone 4.0 and your 2nd-gen iPod Touch

The general way an iPhone/iPod Touch update works is that you simply don't upgrade right away -- if you care about jailbreaking/unlocking that is. But iPhone 4.0 will be a different story thanks to "iH8sn0w" who's apparently been hard at work since early April on cracking Apple's latest beast.
The resulting success comes by way of sn0wbreeze 1.6 which iH8sn0w claims will easily jailbreak the iPhone 4.0 software on your 2nd-gen iPod Touch. Another version of sn0wbreeze which will also will...
iPod Touch w/ 2 megapixel camera blows it’s cover.

Boy oh boy, I bet el Jobso is getting pissed. First it was his baby, the iPhone's 4th rendition and now this, the next gen iPod Touch complete with 2 megapixel camera.
One interesting tidbit is that of the serial number. IT originates from late-2009 meaning it could be one of those infamous 3rd gen units that was leaked on eBay and never made it to see the light of day.
Other than that, the usual diagnostic software and geeky curiosity surround this leaked device.

AmpliTube: The iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad app for practicing musicians

Are you a musician, gadget nerd, outdoorsy person, or gear head? Most of the time you're either/or without much overlap. For the sake of this article, we're going to look at gadget nerd/musician.
AmpliTube looks to be one of the easiest to use and fuller featured guitar/music apps for the iPhone platform that I've seen yet. Please, feel free to correct me. But what else could you call AmpliTube but "awesome" when you look at the specs...

WiFi syncing comes to iPod/iPhone…”unofficially”

Mike
Posted April 26th, 2010 at 6:49 am
One of the Zune's more prominent boasting points over the iPod is it's WiFi-syncing ability -- cutting the cords and making life easier. With each revision of the iPod hardware and firmware, I've seen plenty of consumers cry out for such a feature from Apple. But alas, here we are in 2010 without WiFi-syncing anywhere in sight.
Well, it wasn't in sight until developer "Greg" whipped up a simple app that allows your iPod/iPhone wireless connect and sync with iTunes. Awesome! Welcome to the...

RIAA/labels wanted iTunes LP’s, not Apple.

Posted March 9th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Last year when Apple was all jubilant about iTunes LP's, a lot of tech people were left scratching their heads wondering wtf was going on. Over the last few years, Apple has been promoting, marketing, and pushing an entire generation towards all you can eat, cheap music via a-la-carte methods. Albums and "special edition" LP's are a complete 180 from their general philosophy.
That confusion was for good reason though. New information via GigaOhm (link currently down) has several industry...
