Apple and U2 have enjoyed a successful relationship that began in 2004 with the release of the iPod U2 Special Edition. The relationship went on to include massive marketing campaigns featuring the band’s likeness in commercials, billboard campaigns, etc. What a difference a smartphone makes. Apple arch-rival RIM (the Canadian maker of Blackberry) has reportedly signed on as the official sponsor of U2’s upcoming U2 360 tour that will play Europe and North America.

On another note, Apple is apparently bringing the touchscreen concept it made so hugely popular with the iPhone and iPhone 3G, to its notebook computers. Yes, it’s been rumored that Apple has recruited Taiwanese parts manufacturer Wintek to start producing displays for an upcoming touchscreen notebook.

Love muffins, how do you feel about a touchscreen Macbook? Are you into it?

Thoughts?

Yesterday evening, Apple made it official that its new iPod touch would be released very, very soon. Playing off the touch screen capability of the iPhone, this new iPod allows you to tap your way through your playlist, videos, photos and more. There’s a wide screen for viewing and even WiFi. (Now you can log into iTunes and get new music immediately!) They’re priced between $299 and $399 depending on storage size, and they’ll be on sale within weeks. Anyone who just copped their iPod should see if they can return it for this new and much improved version!

Apple must truly be in competition with itself because they’re doing the most with their releases. You can also find the iPod Classic, a new iPod Nano and five more colors for the Shuffle. And if you’re dead set on getting your iPhone, you waited for the perfect time. The prices have been slashed! Get the 8GB for just $399. Can we say early Christmas shopping?

Anyone out there have a hybrid? If you have trouble finding somewhere to charge your car’s battery, check out the Prius that you can plug into any electrical outlet—anywhere. Toyota unveiled this new model, dubbed the Toyota Plug-in HV, yesterday, and it seems to be their next attempt to reduce gasoline emissions and go as ‘green’ as they can, if you will. It’s a good idea, but we don’t think we trust that car to even get us to the corner store just yet. As of now, it’ll only give you 8 miles under a full battery. Back to the drawing board boys!

Look how cute these are! They’re headphones, and you can get them from Elecom. They even make rosebud-shaped ear pieces.

Just as cute!

Here’s a concept phone of sorts from Parkoz Hardware. It’s just a cute idea, but these things are always the seeds for big future plans. Could this be the future of cell phone technology?!
