Apple apparently readies WiFi iPod for Q3 launch

The latest news around the hot tub is that Apple is prepping a WiFi iPod for the Q3 this year. The rumor is strong provided the information that Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) will supply the Wi-Fi modules and Foxconn will assemble the player. Anyway, Apple and Microsoft are not the obnkly two firms planning WiFi music players. Other companies such as Sony, Samsung, and Sandisk are also in the race. Apple will need to augment the battery capacity of its iPod in order to stuff WiFi functionality into the device or lower the power consumption. Apple iPhone played with us a lot and I think the WiFi iPod is all set to play the tricks now. Via: TGdaily

Look goofy with MP3 headphones

Hong Kong Electronics Fair 2007 saw Halloa release MP3 headphones, which support SD/MMC card and USB 2.0 flash disk. With these headphones, all you are required to do is to fill up either of the above devices and plug it directly into one side of headphones. If you are kinda tired of carrying around your MP3 player and headphones, get one of these. But don’t complain to me if people call you an alien (which they of course may be already doing.) Seriously, these headphones look too bulky and just imagine them with USB drive sticking out. I guess convenience has a price after all. Pictures: aving Source: about-electronics

Is Amazon ready for DRM-free music service?

Amazon is planning to open its online music service without any copy protection. The British paper claims that Amazon has approached all the music majors in order to launch its MP3 store in May to give direct competition to Apple’s iTunes. Amazon is in hurry to launch its DRM free music service on its retail store because at the same time, Apple is planning to start selling DRM free music from EMI in May through its music store. Amazon has partnered with Universal Music Group to sell unprotected music, mostly in the form of classical tracks. Universal Music Group is holding top position among all music labels. According to Reuters, if Universal goes for DRM free music then everyone has to follow. Even if Amazon will manage to sell its DRM free music service with Universal, still Amazon has competition with Apple. If it will become true, the Amazon direct download store will become second major online store to offer unprotected music compatible with both the iTunes jukebox and the iPod. Amazon has already entered into the online media business by unveiling its Unbox video store, which sells movies and TV shows in a DRM-laden Windows Media format. Image Credit: SUN Via: Ars Technica
