Listen to iPod and cellphone at the same time

Question time!
What is the “Unit” called where you can plug your own headphones called?
What colours are available?
Dimensions?
When exactly will it be out?
Does SkullCandy ship to UK or is there a dealer in UK?
If someone answers these questions, that person is a living legend.

Im not English, but I love in England, so dont discriminate against me, plus its not nice to discriminate against any race, name, or appearance.

Apple updates iPod classic software to 1.1.2 [updated]

fixed an issue on the iPod nano:
I have a big playlist (300 songs). When I wanted to copy the song, I was just listening to the playlist on the go, I clicked on menu and had to browse through the 300 songs to find the song, that was just playing...try to wheel yourself through 300 songs, it’s a pain.
Now: clicking once on menu, I move up to the playlist level and the song is already selected!

Apple patent explores wireless media device applications

Getting podcasts wirelessly would be great! İ get 3-4 to listern too a day and not having to plug in everytime would make my life easier. Heck, even if the new nanos woudl let you know when you get mail woudl be pretty good. Even if you have to find a pc to response...(

Intel exec: 2 iPhones at WWDC, larger one with Atom processor [updated]

Well what I heard is that intel has been known to spill the beans so this sounds very likely. I now wish I’d waited to get my ipod touch! but hey, that’s the world of electronics. I’m guessing it’ll be a few months before an ipod version is released too but maybe not.

Anyways, I’m wondering if this thing is going to run a more advanced verison of the current iPhone OS-X. My understanding of the intel atom chip is that it was designed to run a full version of windows, but its actually too underpowered to do that, so OS-X would probably be perfect. But with apple’s current limitations of no programs running in the background, I think it may be a waste.

Apple patent explores wireless media device applications

Galley...I thought similarly a while ago about RFID chips on products and screens on shopping carts, though the tech could work similarly for an iPhone or other MID:

Think of having the iPhone at home: whenever you run out of an item, you swing the upc next to the phone camera before tossing the box, and then it automatically adds that item (and other options, perhaps that you’ve pre-selected) to your virtual shopping list (which would tell me automatically, whenever i walk into a store, whether the items I want are sold at that store).

Then, as you’re walking down the aisle, your iPhone/MID tells you which items on your list are available, whether there are sales on competing items (while providing you quickly with the unit price of each item in every iteration available, so you can compare). When you get down to the last few items, it can also tell you which aisle you can go down (mini-scale GPS) to find the last items.

It will also keep track of your spending habits, and allow you to opt in to ‘sale alerts’ for items you like, but are only really concerned about getting when they’re on sale. Like brie? Well, now you get alerted whenever brie is on sale when you go shopping.

Your phone will also let you know how expensive an item is compared to its year-long history, so you can see if this ‘sale’ price is really a sale at all, or if it was marked-up to be marked down.

And all of this is just the shopping possibilities.  Developers with an API, feel free to develop my idea...maybe give me some props or a few bucks if you make millions.

Just in case Jobs is writing this...and he doesn’t have the resources available to him to get in contact with Rockstar. Thank god you’re looking out for him Ryan.

Aliph intros new Jawbone Bluetooth Headset

They should have kept the old Jawbone’s simpler, less garish looks. Aliph must be trying to add the “bling-bling” generation to its customer base.

I’m also disappointed that this still needs an earhook. In-ear, hookless headsets offer far superior volume (a problem on the previous Jawbone), comfort (especially if you wear glasses), and ease of fitment.

Pass. Too bad the Inivisio Q7 became vaporware.

ecsacker6306: CDMA only works in USA, Canada, and S. Korea. GSM works all over the world. If you’re making one device for the world, which do you choose? GSM. (3G if you’re forward-thinking.)

Anyway, as with any pending Apple product, it’s all worthless speculation until the official announcement.

Also the graphics are great on GTA4 (from what I have seen)

AT&T offers refurbished 8GB, 16GB iPhones

They’ve already sold out of both models. I didn’t think they would go so quickly with the news of the 3g model coming but I guess I was wrong! Glad I snagged one while I could.

It always dismays me to see an iPod in advertising, illustration, film and now a game that is not the latest model. It just looks like they are behind the 8 ball.
