CBS News has a great video (above) which shows off the iPhone and all that it can do. Check it out – if like me – you can’t wait to get your hands on one yourself! The Guardian says that the ‘phone could be available in the UK by October. Still too long to wait [...]

Well Apple’s iPhone was finally announced today after years of speculation! I was really hoping it would be available straight away in the US, and unlocked, as I’m off to Dallas next week.
But, it looks like it won’t be out until June, and the only carrier signed up with it at the moment is Cingular, [...]

The American iTunes store is great – you can get TV shows (often before they air here), a bigger selection of music and music videos, and movies too. Unfortunately you can’t buy stuff in the US store unless you have a credit card registered to a US address. Or can you?
Well yes you can… here’s [...]

One of the great (free) things to come out of Apple’s big announcement last week, was an upgrade of iTunes to version 7. Part of this means that you can now buy additional games such as Tetris to put on your iPod! I used to be addicted to Tetris, so couldn’t resist buying it, and [...]

A lot of people in the UK are already downloading TV shows over the Internet – usually using BitTorrent, which can be a bit complicated if you’re a novice. Peekvid is yet another, very simple way to watch well-known TV shows online – it simply links to TV shows which have already been uploaded on [...]

After the demise of the Mycokemusic site, Coke has decided to pair up with iTunes and is apparently getting ready to give away free tracks in the UK and some other European countries. Great! In fact according to Fox News, they’re going to give away a total of 70 million tracks in the UK alone.

I wrote a while ago about how ridiculous it was that you can’t use iTrips and the like legally in the UK. Basically they are a FM transmitter that you plug in to your iPod. You can then listen to your iPod through any radio once you’ve tuned it into the same frequency.
My mate Rob [...]

In what I think is a pretty interesting link, Apple and Nike today announced that they’re lanching a new ‘sports kit‘ for the iPod nano. Basically, it means putting a little sensor in your Nike+ shoe which then talks to a receiver attached to your iPod nano. The sensor then transmits data about your run [...]

I had an iTrip for my old iPod, which wasn’t compatible with my new one, and I used it quite a bit whenever I was on a long drive for work. It’s basically a wireless transmitter which plugs into your iPod and transmits music to an FM frequency you set on a radio – be [...]

So once I’d got Airtunes all sorted out (see previous post), I started fiddling around with iTunes, and decided to look for a new and more interesting visualizer. Visualizers are the changing patterns that you can switch on to play on the screen whilst music is playing (Windows Media Player has them too).
Anyway, I found [...]
