The new Sony S-Airplay AIR-SA20PK is their latest entry into the popular wireless multi room audio systems that are hitting the market with force these days. Once you dock your iPod into this Sony system you can listen to music up to 164 feet away through the S-Air’s two portable speakers.  Unlike the Griffin Evolve wireless iPod Dock, these speakers require to be plugged into an outlet for power, while the Griffin Evolve actually runs on chargeable batteries that is recharged when you dock the speakers with the rest of the unit, which is a great feature.

One of the potential great features of the Sony S-Airplay however is the opportunity to actually add up to 10 speakers to the unit for a true multi-room experience. The other great feature is that it also includes AM/FM tuner and it allows you to listen to both your iPod and the radio at the same time, most likely in two different rooms though!

Other features to notice with the Sony AIR-SA20PK is that it allows you to connect it up with your home entertainment system and TV as well through its composite A/V outputs.

The Sony S-Airplay iPod dock is expected to hit the market around September time and likely to retail at$400 in the US (no information on the UK yet).

Other wireless audio systems with iPod docks you might want to check out are:

• Griffin Evolve wireless sound system
• Klipsch Room Groove wireless sound system
• Philips WAC3500 Wireless music center

Many might ask why we should believe him this time after he was way of the mark with his predictions for the first iPhone. Well, this time he supports it with some photo evidence that is backed up by lots of other rumors about what the next generation iPod Nano will look like. We have earlier made our own predictions about what the next generation iPod Nano might look like, but guess we might be wrong this time. Perhaps our prediction is a bit more futuristic. We would however be interested in hearing your opinion on which one you would prefer.

The same Kevin Rose also supports other rumors in the market about price cuts on iPod Touch and iPod Classic coming sometime this year as well, as Apple is preparing a revamp of the entire iPod range.

Looks like it will be more interesting times ahead, although we hope that there will be some subtance in the form of actual release from Apple soon and not just more rumors.

In the US one of the largest iPod retailers, Target, can tell that all current iPod models have seen their stock status shift from active to discontinued.

So we will be on the look out for price drops on all current iPod’s going forward, and next time you pass an Argos, watch out for those point of sale price cut promotions.

Apple has recently confirmed that there has been rare occassions where the battery has been faulty and made the iPod Nano turn into sparks, shifting the blame over to a single battery supplier. The fire sparks have happened with the iPod Nano getting charged and has left he player twisted, melted and unusuable in most instances.

According to AFP, Apple is now offering to replace the batteries on the iPod Nano’s that have been sold with the potential faulty batteries in Japan between 2005 and 2006, which is potentially 1.8 million iPods.

So perhaps we have to place firealarm functionality on our wishlist for the next generation iPod.

As much as we hate the idea of wearing a school uniform or a blazer to School, this could be a big hit with the school children that owns an iPod, what we can imagine to be a very significant market in the UK.

The ‘iPod Blazer’ as it has been baptized by news sources, is not a welcomed item by educational leaders around the country that are already struggling to keep the attention of the pupils as it is. However as a piece of clothing is has more great features than just a hidden iPod pocket. The blazer that comes in both boys and girls version sizes 10-16 years is made out of fabric from recycled platic bottles, so at least it is very eco-friendly.

If you want to buy the iPod Blazer it is available from Marks and Spencer for £25 to £30.

As for iPod clothing, you might also want to check out the O’Neill iPod jacket and the iBlaze iPod bag.

1. I’m me -Lil Wayne
2. Till I collapse - Eminem (makes sense)
3. The inspiration - Young Jeezy
4. Overnight celebrity - Twista
5. Roses - Outkast

Can see how some of these songs can get him pumped up and ready to jump in for another world record and a gold medal, as there is plenty of bling on these artists as well!

A while back Rolling Stone magazine did an in depth interview with Democratic candidate Barack Obama where he shared some of his musical influences, and what turned out to be a well rounded list of legendary artists, including Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen.

Here are the respective candidates lists:

Barack Obama Top Ten iPod Playlist

1. Ready or not - Fugees
2. Whats going on - Marvin Gaye
3. I’m on fire - Bruce Springsteen
4. Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
5. Sinnerman - Nina Simone
6. Touch the sky - Kanye West
7. You’d be so easy to love - Frank Sinatra
8. Think - Aretha Franklin
9. City of blinding lights - U2
10. Yes we can - Will i.am

John McCain Top Ten iPod Playlist

1. Dancing queen - Abba
2. Blue Bayou - Roy Orbison
3. Take a chance on me - Abba
4. If we make it through December - Merle Haggard
5. As time goes by - Dooley Wilson
6. Good vibrations - Beach Boys
7. What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong
8. I’ve got you under my skin - Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Carolina - Neil Diamond
10. Smoke gets in your eyes - The Platters

It looks like old blue eyes, Frank Sinatra, is the only one that has the honour of make both lists. Other than that their age clearly shines through, as well as their target audience.

As for us we have to declare a clear victory for Barack Obama as we find his list filled with a lot more quality then his opponent John McCain (not a fan of Abba!). So based on music we have to declare Obama as the winner by a landslide.
