This is the history of the Ipod as told by the Discovery Channel. 44 minutes long.

Google VP is now stating that the ipod can hold tons of content and will hold every tv show in about 12 years. Amazing? Maybe not.
Speaking at the FT World Communications Conference, Nikesh Arora, Google’s VP of European operations, told delegates that, in the coming years, the plummeting price of storage and its increasing volume-to-size ratio will give iPods almost unlimited potential to hold music and video.

Arora said, by 2012, iPods could launch at similar prices to those on sale now and yet be capable of holding a whole year’s worth of video releases. Around 10 years down the line that could be expanded, creating iPods that can hold all the music ever sold commercially.

He said: “In 12 years, why not an iPod that can carry any video ever produced?” The Google exec said tech is now pursuing a price volume game – searching for the price point at which content will take off for the mainstream.

He added: “It’s clearly begun happening,” citing iTunes’ 99¢ per song download model.

A scanner that can play music, so brilliant! You think Steve Jobs will try to make money off of this one?

Imagine having an Ipod or laptop that runs on gasoline and gets 10 times more run time than a battery. Well its just around the corner.

MIT researchers are putting a tiny gas-turbine engine inside a silicon chip about the size of a quarter. The resulting device could run 10 times longer than a battery of the same weight can, powering laptops, cell phones, radios and other electronic devices.

Now you can polute with your Ipod!

CBS Television will begin showing episodes of several new and returning prime-time shows for free on the Internet, becoming the second network to do so.CBS already sells downloads of episodes on Apple Computer Inc.’s iTunes Music Store and Google Inc.’s video store. In May, it launched an advertising-supported online channel called “innertube” to stream programming created just for the Web.

The network said Tuesday that starting next month it will begin streaming episodes of a new show, “Jericho,” as well as returning shows “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: NY,” “NCIS,” “Numbers” and “Survivor.”

Engadget is reporting that the new Apple iPhone/iTalk will be released next month. This is probably the sexiest phone ever released. I know I will be getting one if its half as cool as the video below.

We have no confirmation here, but sometimes a tip is too juicy not to share, no matter how suspect it might be. A reader is reporting to us that a coworker’s tech-unsavvy friend, who is regularly hired by Apple to do marketing photo shoots, was recently brought on to take some shots of “the sleekest, sexiest damn phone he’s ever seen.” The launch date? “Some time in August.” Yeah, not a typo — August. Now, to be perfectly clear, we don’t know what the iPhone (if it exists) will be actually called, we’ve never seen a real pic of the elusive beast, and this doesn’t really jive with the time frame suggested by Peter Oppenheimer’s recent comments — but we want to believe, and we don’t have to wait very long for this one to get debunked or confirmed.

Heres a video of what it might look like click here.
