Dock Your iPod While Still in its Case with SendStation’s Dock Connector
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Apple, Design, Portable Audio / Video,
Sometimes it’s the simplest invention that yields the greatest convenience. What inspired this profundity? The SendStation Dock Extender, a small device that lets you plug your iPod into its docking station (or iPod speaker system), while still in its case or skin! Using a removable support and one of three interchangeable caps, you can dock your iPod, regardless of the case or skin it’s in, as long it has a dock connector opening. Works with 3G iPods on up, and even the upcoming iPhone if you’re planning ahead. The Dock Extender will be available soon, with price still to be determined.

As I was Twittering, Software Update popped up and notified me that there is a WWAN Support Update available. What does this mean? Since I am posting from a MacBook Pro, it means that Apple is adding support in OS X for even more cards for hopping online. Included are a bunch of Novatel products, like the Novatel Merlin XU870 ExpressCard (HSDPA) for Cingular, and the V740 ExpressCard for Verizon that supports EVDO Rev. A. The full message is below:
The WWAN Support Update v1.0 provides SW support for the following WWAN products:
Available on the Cingular network:
- Novatel Merlin XU870 ExpressCard (HSDPA)

Coming Soon: iPod Connectivity on Airplanes
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Apple, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation,
As if iPods weren’t ubiquitous enough (and we mean that in a good way), by mid-year select airlines will have iPod seat connections that will keep your little buddy powered and charged during the flight. Even better, using the dock connector port, you will be able to display the video content from the iPod on seat-back screens. It’s all about synergy, as many airlines are currently improving and increasing their in-flight entertainment options. Apple is currently working with Delta, US Airlines, United, Continental, and others, with even more airlines on the horizon.

Apple’s iTune store now has Lionsgate films available for purchase. Downloadable titles include “Terminator 2,” “Basic Instinct,” “Dirty Dancing,” and “The Blair Witch Project.” The online store carries over 4 million tunes, 350 TV shows, and now over 400 movies when you include their current distributors Paramount and Disney. Each flick can be yours for $9.99 at resolutions of 640 x 480 in what Apple claims is “near-DVD” quality. At that price, Arnold can let you know he’ll “Be Back” over and over again.

Ticketmaster Offers Free iTunes Track With Purchase
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Internet, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Ticketmaster is dangling a new carrot in front of donkeys
iPod owners. You can now select a free iTune with every concert ticket you order from the company. They are also promoting a program they initiated last year whereby if you pre-ordered Red Hot Chili Pepper tickets, you got earlier access than those who bought them from other outlets. Now you will not only get that privilege, you also get to pre-order selected digital albums. There is no information yet on just which artists will be a part of the plan, so contact Ticketmaster for details.

Apple and The Beatles - All You Need is Love
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Apple Inc. and Apple Corps Limited have finally reached an agreement with the use of the name “Apple.” Under it, the U.S. company will own all the trademarks and license some of them back to Britain for their use. Also, the lawsuit will cease with each party paying its own legal fees. Specific terms of the settlement will not be released.
Both sides appear to be relieved that the entire episode is finally over. Steve Jobs commented, “It feels great to resolve this in a positive manner,” while Neil Aspinal, manager of Apple Corps said that they “look forward to many years of peaceful co-operation.” We can’t wait until a Special Edition Beatles Apple iPod is released to celebrate the event. Hint, hint.
