iPod touch has camera(s) and is pretty much the iphone.

the classic still hasn't had any changes

the nano has a touch screen and is tiny (+clip)

the shuffle has its buttons back and is even smaller.

A camera? Bloody hell... When is this out, please?

I couldn't bear to abandon my old iPod so now I have 2 :D

I could never get rid of my beloved. I think he'll probably still sleep next to me, but will just be used less so.

Poor Plod lol.

I'll be getting the iPod Classic in december... would be v. annoying if next year, they doubled the memory again, like there have been predictions that they will do. :(

LOL? This is no laughing matter. I might wait for memory to be doubled, I want as much as possible, then I can keep the classic. I'll buy a new iPod (or whatever it becomes..) every few years.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

So, what exactly can you do with Ping? Everyone's talking about it and I just haven't got a clue... :confused:

In the way that Jobs described it, it's Twitter and Facebook, meets music. You can follow both performing artists and your friends. This will allow you to be updated on your feed when the artist posts something - whether this be a new song, an update as for when their new material is out, gig dates, whatever - and also follow your friends.

The friends thing is whereby you search for the friend's name (I dunno if Ping supports Facebook Connect, it really should if it doesn't), and follow them (Twitter style) and then you'll get notified when they publish a song that they recommend, or gigs they're attending, etc.

As is similar with twitter, you can change your privacy settings to change who can follow you, and make it so you need to approve anyone who tries to follow you.

Finally, you can make your own collaborative chart of the top songs out of what you and your friends are all downloading.

I dunno if it exists, since I'm as yet to try it, though if it supports some form of recommended songs, or whatever, that'd be great.

There're probably several things I've missed, too, give it a go, would be my recommendation :)

I'm sure that's not normal.. :shock:

It's basically like Last.fm, really, if you've ever used it. That does a similar thing. I think I'll be sticking with Last.fm for my new music though, because I like the radio feature it has and I don't buy a lot with iTunes really, just due to a lack of funds.

Yes, it does support Facebook Connect. Great description, BTW! I don't know if I could do any better, really :)

I believe everything is up and working fine now - I know there was a delay of about six hours between the Keynote (basically the presentation) and the actual release of the download, but I think everything's up and running fine.

Oh right. I've used Last.FM, I mean yeah, the radio feature's all well and good, but, when I first used it, and went to an artist's radio station, I expected to hear a selection of songs from that artist, not some related tracks...

Yeah, I end up usually pirating some stuff. Have a go at me, I dare you :P

Oh excellent, that makes life a lot easier! I'm as yet to use it, so I'm just taking stuff that I've got from the keynote and expanding on it a little, thanks :)

Sidenote: God damn Apple for removing it. *RAGE*

It's your choice. Also, I think Last.FM is more about finding more music, rather than listening to stuff you have heard already.

Yeah, there was a disagreement somewhere between the companies somewhere I think...sorry about that.

People really should just read the apple website...

If you mean me with this; I did that, but I just didn't understand it (maybe because I'm not English...). And also I think, people who have actually tried it can explain it better, because Apple just wants to get everyone to have it, and I wanted an independent explanation.

And thanks to Sam and Ryan for helping me with it! :)

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
