Apple revamp the iPod range

Last week Apple announced the release of their new iPod nano range. They have went back to the original design of the iPod nano and have added some cool new features. You can give it a shake to shuffle your music, turn it on its side and flip through albums with Cover Flow and it's available in 8GB and 16GB.

New iPod Range

They have also released the new iPod touch which has an extremely welcome new additional feature... a built in speaker!! So you can listen to the touch without ear phones. It also has a longer battery life, volume buttons on the side and it is somewhat thinner than the original.

iPod prices forever changing!

How much should you pay for an iPod? That is the question!!

In the UK market the iPod prices change frequently. At times the fluctuation borders on the ridiculous! It is almost guaranteed that a site will change their iPod prices at least once during the course of a week.

So if you are looking to buy an new iPod from a trusted outlet and are not sure how much you should pay, below is a guideline to getting the best bargain:

Madonna - new single - true legend

There are lots of artists and bands within the music industry who have had great longevity and will be remembered long after they leave this world - Paul Mc Cartney still commands a great crowd on his own and the days of the Beatles will continue to live on. The Rolling Stones are still doing concerts, Tom Jones has been belting out songs and shaking his hips from as far back as the days of Elvis Presley... but there is one artist who stands out... one particular artist who continues to reinvent herself... one artist who understands the changes in popular music and continues to produce no. 1s...

Hancock - Will Smith's new film

There are heroes. There are superheroes. And then there's...
There's what...? There's Will Smith!! Hancock is the new film for the multi talented Mr Cool which was released on the 2nd of July in the UK.

Ronaldo - over-rated?

Ok so a blog about a footy player is a wee bit left field from the normal blogs but it's the Champions League final next week so...

What the hell is going on with Cristiano Ronaldo??? One week he's talking about how happy he is at Man Utd:

"I just don't care what the whole world seems to want to say about me or speculate about my future.
"I've said it a thousand times and, by now, people should realise . . . I'm totally happy at United.

The next week he's apparently saying that he's not sure whether or not he will stay after the Champions League final:

Vantage Point

Vantage Point stars Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt. From the advertising I thought it would be some sort of slow moving thriller film which would take time to unravel. Boy was I wrong!! I would best describe it as a mix between Ground Hog Day and The Bourne films.

Michael Jackson and Akon - the 1st single from Thriller 25

Yep the rumours were true!! As reported on a previous blog Michael Jackson has collaborated with Akon for one of his new singles. Ok so the previous blog was just speculation, but now there's substance to it :-) The new version of Wanna Be Starting Something is now hitting the airwaves and you can hear it below:

Heath Ledger dead - what the?!

Heath Ledger has just been found dead in his apartment, what the hell is going on?!?!? What a talent, what a waste.

There is, as yet no confirmation on what actually happened. That should come over the next couple of days, but there is already speculation about it being suicide from drug overdose and reasons range from not being able to cope with the split from the mother of his child to not being able to cope with the Hollywood lifestyle.
