It’s been over 2 weeks and Bellsouth STILL doesn’t have a clue how to fix the problem with my DSL line…. Every time I call I get someone in India who is clearly having to call back to the states to actually get a real Bellsouth employee to tell them what to do…. By the time I get home tonight, I should have a brand spankin new 6Mbps connection through Adelphia. I originally thought Comcast serviced my area, errr – technically I guess they do since they bought Adelphia, but for now everything is branded Adelphia.I had the cable tv installed this weekend and got 2 Motorola HD / PVR receivers to boot. I can’t begin to express how absolutely AMAZING the HD picture is from regular cable or Satellite…. If you offered me the upgrade at no cost, you would have most likely kept me as a customer…. If the cable modem is anywhere near as fast as I am thinking it will be during those heavy peak hours, I will be one happy camper. Next step – order up Supra telecom and completely dump Bellsouth services and related affiliates.

NHL and NASCAR Working on iTunes Music Store Deals
[ via iPod Observer ] NHL and NASCAR Working on iTunes Music Store Deals: The NHL and NASCAR are both within weeks of signing deals to provide content to the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), according to the Sports Business Journal (subscription required). Apple has already signed deals with ESPN and ABC Sports, and is close to a deal with MLB Advanced Media, too. The extent of the NHL’s and NASCAR content is not yet clear, but it looks like a deal may be struck in time for the Daytona 500 in February. Video downloads at the iTMS and other legal Internet video content provider sites are proving successful for the broadcasters that have already jumped on board. The NFL and NBA are both looking for deals, although neither have committed to a specific provider yet. Brenda Spoonemore, senior vice president of interactive services for NBA Entertainment commented “The iPod is a great device and it’s exciting to see what’s happening. Apple, however, is only one piece of a much larger distribution model. The key thing is having the best available content in the most convenient manner for fans.”

Live at Macworld: Finally, True iPod Car Integration
Now THAT’s what I’m talkin about! [ via Gizmodo ] Live at Macworld: Finally, True iPod Car Integration: You’ve seen products like Ten Technology’s FlexibleDock, and Belkin’s TuneBase FM, or even Harman Kardon’s Drive + Play Kit, but you’ve never seen true, or at least easy streamlined iPod car integration until you’ve seen 2point5′s spec.dock. The thing that’s different about the spec.dock is that it’s the only iPod solution that actually blends in with your car. It’s makes it look as though your car was built with this thing. And because the spec.dock benefits off of your car’s cigarette lighter, you have two options — you can either blow off your tunes, or rock out till you need a hearing aid. What more could you ask for?

The KNG iPod DJ dock
[ via Engadget ] The KNG iPod DJ dock: Filed under: Peripherals, Portable Audio Though we’re usually a bit disinclined to write up any iPod docks that aren’t Xbox 360s, wireless, toolboxes, solid platinum, or otherwise not of incredible novelty value, how could we resist KNG’s DJ iPod dock? Seriously, how could anyone? P.S. Big ups for the Ali G on-screen.

Detroit 2006: Apple, Chrysler announce iPod integration
The other thing these auto manufacturers seriously need to consider doing is creating a dedicated docking station for the iPod in the vehicle. Whether that be a hidden compartment with the cable or a dedicated mount that is visible on the dash, I don’t want my iPod just floating around the car, It’s gotta look good and be protected!
[ via Leftlane News ] Detroit 2006: Apple, Chrysler announce iPod integration The Chrysler Group today announced that it will be the first American automaker to provide full iPod integration as an option in most of its 2006 models, with over three million 2006 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge models offering seamless iPod integration beginning this spring. The optional iPod Integration Kit for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge model lines will be available to customers for the MSRP of $175 (US) plus installation from authorized dealerships, and will debut this spring…. Drivers will be able to listen to their iPod through the car’s audio system, select their music by artist, album or playlist with radio or steering wheel controls and view selections on the radio’s display. “Customers have been asking for iPod connectivity and we’re excited to make it available to so many of our vehicles in 2006,” said Randy Ewers, director, Mopar Accessories Portfolio Team. “We’re providing the largest number and range of automobiles with iPod support of any automaker, allowing Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge owners to bring and listen to their entire music collections.” “We’re thrilled that over three million Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge automobiles will offer great iPod connectivity in 2006,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. -
Leak is in the Air: Bluetooth Headphones?
[ via O'Grady's Power Page ] Leak is in the Air: Bluetooth Headphones?: The Apple Japan Web site has a little teaser for their New Year’s Special t-shirt design that depicts an iPod nano dandelion with iPod earbuds as the wishes. The caption reads “Luck is in the Air” and a pair of the headphones are suspiciously detaching from the rest. Could this be a hint of an upcoming wireless Bluetooth headphones for the iPod? Or even an iPod with Bluetooth built-in? Tough to say, but it’s great fodder in the build up to Macworld, no? The t-shirts will be given out to the first 1000 visitor of each Apple store on January 2nd.

ExtremeMac Case for iPod Video
This two-piece case snaps onto the front and back of the iPod, providing the body and screen with protection from scratches while highlighting its sleek design. “MicroShield comes with one front and two rear panels: one with an integrated, low-profile belt clip, and one without. This design offers the flexibility of using the front and rear panels separately or together and provides users with the option of using a belt clip or not. When used together, the front and rear panels encase the iPod in a hard plastic shell that provides unobstructed access to the Click Wheel, Dock Connector, and earbud jack. In addition, the design of the rear panel accommodates the iPod with either end up—allowing users to position the earbud jack either at the top or bottom—a feature that will be appreciated by those who prefer to use the belt clip with this case. “The design of the new iPod is so striking that we decided to build a protective case that truly showcases it,” said Gary Bart, CEO of XtremeMac. “MicroShield has been our most popular case for the iPod nano, and looks to be just our leading case for the new iPod.” MicroShield is available in 30GB and 60GB models to accommodate both sizes of the new iPod with video.
