Will Apple’s Lets Rock, Rock?

Apple’s “Let’s Rock” event is barely a few days away. There’s talk of new iPods (leaked photo of the new iPod nano), iTunes 8 and new iPhone software.

Truth be told, for the past Apple events I have been underwhelmed. Will this event wow me? Chances are no. Why? Because as much as I’d like to see new iPods, they’ve been updated a lot more than the MacBook Pros.That’s something I’d like to see more than new iPods.

I’ve seen the leaked iPod Nano shots, sure it looks nice but nothing ground breaking that will merit excitement.

iTunes 8 will see some new features.

So will the event rock? I’m hoping it will.

Your Fave HBO Shows Now Showing On iTunes

HBO and Apple have teamed up to bring your favorite HBO shows on iTunes. Shows like “Sex In The City”, “The Sporanos”, “Rome” and “Deadwood” will be made available via the iTunes Music Store.

A quote from the Apple press release says

“We’re very excited to make these legendary HBO programs available on the iTunes Store,” said Henry McGee, president of HBO Video. “Whether catching up on ‘Sex and the City’ in anticipation of its upcoming movie release or reliving a favorite ‘Sopranos’ episode, we think viewers will love being able to watch these shows on their iPod or iPhone.”

I for one am very happy that this has finally happened. I love a lot of HBO shows. It would be great to have access to episodes I missed or haven’t had a chance to see because HBO Asia is not showing them. One thing I’m sad about though.. No “Entourage”… What gives?!?

Maroon 5 and Linkin Park Exclusive Content To be Available on iTunes

First it was Linkin Park who performed a 6 song set in a private gig in Apple’s flagship SoHo store. Then Sunday night saw Maroon 5 performing a one hour set at the same store. Both of these shows were recorded and is reported to be released exclusively on iTunes.

It says so in this AppleInsider news item as well as on the Maroon 5 web site.

Maroon 5 is coming here to Manila. I would like to watch their show but the tickets are just insanely expensive. So I’m glad a live session will be sold on iTunes. I’ll console myself with that.
