The Washington Post writes about the iPod and how with iTunes it holds nearly 70 percent of the market. When I bought my first (and only) iPod several years ago it was a luxury product. The iPod has kept key functions and design concepts while getting smaller thinner and more powerful.

Even though the new iPods […]

Dylan’s Jokerman video Karaoke style

This is a blast from the past for me; we often used to listen to and sing along to this song and other Dylan songs in the car on family trips. I’d never seen a video to go along with it. With the words appearing on screen, it’s a nice version that may bring back […]

When Apple open up iTunes I’ll buy

I’m waiting to spend my first Euro on Apple’s iTunes !
What for ?
Well I’m waiting for the French legislation to go through, that will stop them from selling in their proprietary format. That will allow me to listen to it with the mp3 software of my choice and on the mp3 player of my choice. […]

‘An apple cleft in two is not more twin than these two creatures’…

A quote from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night that seems to fit this very Shakespearean story of a war between two prestigious Apples…
On one side a music company called Apple Corps founded in 1968 by The Beatles and on the other a computer/software company called Apple Computer founded in 1976 that is now famous for it’s product […]

Digital music outlook : device operability gains backers
