I love The Ting Tings!!!! BEST IPOD AD SONG EVER.

Wow, that's friggin awesome. As someone whose first AT&T experience was the iPhone, I have to say so far I've been impressed. Domestic spying notwithstanding :)

Now if only they would offer a cheaper, low-minute plan. I have enough rollover to last for the next 2 years!

Clearly the PowerMac will be called the Mac Pro.

Notice how an article about WMP11 and Urge turns into a message thread about iTunes and iPods?

Enough said.

This is excellent news. The record companies may finally be understanding that Apple KNOWS what they are doing. Virtually no one is interested in non-Apple downloads or "Plays fer sher!" bollocks.

People have a choice. They can buy Zens and iRivers and Yepps and rip CDs into WMA and use Napster or Rhapsody or whatnot. Or they can go the iPod/iTunes route. Consumers have a choice. And most have chosen the latter.

Now, it is up to Apple to innovate and push iPod development a bit further. It'll be interesting to see where they take it next.

It better have 32 hour battery life to justify its extreme thickness. This iRiver needs to do some cardio.

So will this one play standard m4a's, or is this another proprietary WM player?

To #3: Are you serious? Um, ya think everyone is copying the iBook?

That said, now that 8th-rate computer companies are doing iBook twins, I hope Apple completely updates the look for the MacBook (.... annnny day now, right Apple?).

Oh, and to be fair, this Asus laptop doesn't look bad. Wonder how much it costs.

Wow that seems like a great player... will it play all my AAC files and sync up with iTunes?

This player is perfectly reasonable -- it is attractive, it has an iPod-esque UI, the price is fine.

Oh wait, it won't play my AAC files (neither unprotected nor protected)? It won't work with iTunes?

Um. Then it's just a pretty paperweight.
