Briefly: U10 review, Apple’s podcasting trademark, Video iPod speculations, South Korea targets filesharers, Kanye West’s performance cut
- Quick U10 Review (sluggishness when navigating, mediocre video playback quality at 15FPS UPDATE: hey, the 15FPS rate isn’t that bad after all—check out this video, via; other than that, good impressions—hmm, maybe I should wait for the next model in the series?) [via]
- Apple files for Podcasting trademark (“iPodcast” sounds even more ridiculous than the already silly-sounding “podcast”; here’s the trademark application) [via]
- Apple: A Pocket Full of Movies? (speculation that a video iPod acting as video-storage platform that connects to a TV set would be a major seller point; mention of Texas Instruments’ DaVinci, “a new digital-video chip [...] which is intended to simplify the manufacturing of all kinds of video-enabled products”; and for the umpteenth time, BitTorrent is not a file-trading network, it’s a protocol—I’m getting tired of this)
- Musical Unrest in South Korea (the Recording Industry Association of Korea sues almost 1,985 filesharers) [via]
- Apple cuts Kanye West performance from QuickTime stream of special event [via]
