iPod to Computer Transfer Software
I found myself having to hunt out software to get music off iPod over the holidays. My son’s computer had a major meltdown, and his iPod is packed with a few hundred dollars worth of songs that he’s collected over the last few years.
I came across iPod Robot over at www.ipodrobot.com
It’s specifically designed to copy iPod to computer, and even allowed us to transfer iPod to iTunes on his replacement PC. That was a nice touch as I didn’t simply want to get the songs off his iPod, I REALLY needed to get them back in to the iTunes library on his new computer.
It works with all iPod Models, including iPod Touch and iPhone. Aside from he ease of use and the fact that it worked, the biggest thing for me was that the iPod Robot software was safe. No adware, spyware or other malicious software.
If you find yourslf needing to copy iPod to computer, transfer iPod to iTunes, or get music off iPod I huighly recommend www.ipodrobot.com
While your there, check out their Free iPod Video Converter software, we had some fun messing around with that.
iTunes to sell copy protection-free songs.
Apple has agreed to start selling digital songs without copy protection software from its iTunes store along with over-the-air download songs for its popular iPhone, according to people familiar with its plans.
The maker of the iPod is also set to announce a deal to roll out variable pricing on digital songs at the iTunes Music Store with songs priced between 79 cents (53 pence) and $1.29.
Apple is expected to announce the changes at the Macworld Expo trade show in San Francisco later on Tuesday.
Copy protection software, also known as digital rights management or DRM, has proved a controversial topic with music fans and record labels alike.
DRM was designed to prevent fans from illegally sharing digital downloads on file-sharing services. But it also prevented many fans from moving their own songs between devices and became increasingly unpopular.
Apple’s founder, Steve Jobs, publicly called on major record labels to drop DRM in February 2007.
In exchange, labels have been asking that iTunes agree to sell songs at variable prices. Currently, iTunes sells all individual songs at 99 cents regardless of their popularity or date of release, unlike most other retail outlets.
Apple is also expected to announce details to allow iPhone 3G and iPod Touch Wifi users to buy songs while on the go, over the air through its popular App Store.

Wobble is semi risque, but highly amusing. Import any image from your iPhone photo album and then set wobble regions. Shake the phone and enjoy… The video kinda says it all…
Apple certainly have been very successful with their App store, and they’re telling EVERYONE on the front page of their home page. We would like to congratulate Apple and more importantly, every coder and developer who have their app on iTunes. The community surrounding the iPhone platform is by far the strongest in the industry and without the community, Apple would have nothing to sell!
Here’s to an amazing 2009 and beyond! Stay tuned for our first iPhone app very soon too 
From the creators of TouchGrind comes SWAY, a VERY unique multitouch game for iPhone where you have to help your character swing like a monkey around various environments to complete the level.

Sway is set for an early Feb release.
