Let’s Rock Event Roundup

By Mr. Mayor

The lights are off, all of the reporters and live-bloggers have gone home to hunch in front of their laptops… So that can only mean one thing… It’s time for a roundup of today’s ‘Let’s Rock’ Event! If you’re big into music, movies and any sort of digital download for that matter, chances are you’ll want to take note of the new iPod’s and iTunes 8. Let’s get started…

Of the less-important news, the iPod Shuffle now comes in 4 colors… And Apple is also now selling in-ear headphones with in-line volume control. They look purty nice, but I think I’ll hold off on purchasing them for now. They go for $79. (more…)

Personalize your iPod Nano & iPod Shuffle

By Ben

ShufflesomeYes, Apple users love their iPods. Often a little too much. We sleep with them, we shower with them and often we may even occasionally listen to them, but in essence they aren’t really ‘ours’. They all look the same, come in the same colors and often sound the same. With the amount of iPods in peoples pockets at the moment it can be quiet easy to confuse yours with someone else’s.

I’ve stumbled upon a solution. Personalized stickers available through Shufflesome.com, a website devoted to stickers designed specifically to personalize both your iPod Nano’s and iPod shuffles. The stickers are designed by artists from all over the globe and suit a range of tastes and styles. The stickers are edgy and offer style to your music lifestyle. They’re not only really cool but there also really easy to use and are quiet inexpensive. Check them out at www.ShuffleSome.com

Apple Patents New iPod Shuffle-Like Remote Control

By Mr. Mayor

Apple Patents New iPod Shuffle-Like Remote ControlToday was a big patent day for Apple. They won 6 new patents published by the U.S. Patent & Trademark office.

One of these patents looks like a remote control that resembles the current iPod Shuffle. You can see for yourself by the drawing to the right.

The remote control has a belt clip built into the back, and has a round click-wheel on the front. Function of the remote was not defined, but I can certainly guess that it could be used to control your iPod, iTunes, AppleTV, etc… The list goes on.

iDiamond: A Girl’s Best Friend

By Mike Santos

iDiamond: A Girl's Best FriendWhile flying to Norway last month, I noticed an ad of an unusual iPod shuffle in the flight magazine. It was an iPod shuffle encrusted in 430 diamonds! And let me tell you… it does not come cheap. You can pick one up for $41,000 USD!

Which things can you buy with that amount of money today? Well, you could buy 520 shuffle iPods or even a car! This iPod was designed by a Norwegian jeweler called Heyerdahl. Their website also says that the iPod is made of 18 carat white and pink gold. They also say the iPod will be donated to a charity cause auction in London in March 2008.

In case you are the modern guy who would like to propose to someone with an iDiamond, instead of the ubiquitous diamond ring… And in case you don’t have THAT kind of money, you can still buy one for around $600 USD! This cheaper more ‘affordable’ one is found at a jeweler in the United Kingdom: John Harrington.

So hurry! Diamonds are still a girl’s best friend, I mean iPods are still a girl’s best friend! Or is that both?

Now That’s a Good Popsicle: Unique iPod Shuffle Givaway

By Mr. Mayor

Unique iPod Shuffle Givaway from Kibon and AppleBrazilian ice-cream company Kibon is taking popsicle promotions to a new level. They’ve done away with the old prize printed on the popsicle stick… Instead, for this unique givaway they are putting an iPod shuffle right in the popsicle!

Kibon is manufacturing 10,000 specially made ‘propsicles’. They are identical in size and color to the real thing, but obviously aren’t actually popsicles.

The original idea was to put a shuffle inside the package. But due to the fact that people would easily be able to tell what popsicles had the prize in them, they had to think of a different way of concealing the shuffle. That’s when they came up with the idea of the ‘mock’ popsicles with the ipod shuffles inside. The ‘mock’ popsicles are made of a fake ice-cream that will not damage the iPod in any way.

They seem to have thought of everything. Once a winner realizes they’ve won a shuffle, Kibon has provided a phone number to call so that they can claim their manual and charger. Two thumbs up!
