...been just another typical couple of weeks for Apple. First, it opened its latest New York City store, complete with enormous glass cube and Dr. Evil-style topless elevator. Then came the announcement of a Nike product that gives iPod nanos the ability to keep track of your physical training. After that, a new U2-autographed red and black iPod arrived, and a rebate for students of up to $179 on an iPod if they buy a computer, too. To top it all off, the new 13-inch MacBooks started shipping...
...Boomers? opinion of you is not based in truth, then it?s reasonable to wonder why it persists, so pervasively. Well, those blue jeans slung low on your hips have not helped. Those glimpses of butt cleavage have led to some prejudices. With an iPod in one ear and a cell phone over the other, you don?t look the part of an eager Horatio Alger...
...Each suite at the Kemang Icon is different. Some, appointed in darker tones, are for those who like their surroundings understated; other suites, in pastels, are more splashy. But all come with surround-sound stereos, flatscreen TVs, cordless phones, wi-fi capability and iPod docking stations (if you need new music, download it from the hotel's iTunes library, stored on an iMac in the lobby).

Last year, subscription-content privileges were extended to portable devices, but Apple still had no reason to fear: the software-and-player combinations paled in comparison to the iTunes/iPod powerhouse. While this remains mostly true, Urge is the best reason to date why Apple should avoid resting...
...have a music player such as iriver's brand-new 2GB clix ($200) - or another player listed on Microsoft's PlaysForSure website under the "Subscription Enabled" header - you can set up Urge to auto-synch playlists and feeds, but these players will never threaten the iPod. No, Urge poses a threat to Apple because of the MTV brand and because MTV closely works with youth-oriented cell-phone carriers like Virgin Mobile USA. When the circle is complete, it won't be an MP3 player that gets synched with your TRL feed, but a phone with 2GB of flash memory...
