Puh-lenty going on in the portable media world as last week Apple announced their new slew of iPods, Microsoft finally announced the Zune, and SanDisk got together with Real. Oh, and videogame news, too: Nintendo announced the Wii, and Microsoft made their announcement of the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive.

Oh sweet, they said they are giving away HD TV's a long with the slingboxen and Zune action.

Thank you for the ogg feed. It's great that you're considerate as a content producer to open standards like ogg vorbis.

[Jon @ Sep 23rd 2006 4:58PM]

MP3 is an open standard too, and so is AAC.
