This is for you Linux geeks. Here’s an interesting video on how to install Linux on you iPod.

Scratched your spanking new iPod and don’t have Brasso or Dremmel to fix your scratched iPod? Try using my favorite fruit banana instead of those expensive kits. Here’s a short video which will show you the process:

Still I’m thinking if our favorite Iphone clone, the Meizu M8, will ever make it to the stores. Apparently the M8 again undergoes a face lift not for being more iPhone but for doing the opposite. No shiny, metallic edges neither the rear iPod charcoal shading, even the screen has fattened from 3.3″ to 3.4″ .

The M8 sporting a black plastic bezel making it look more like an iPod Touch now. Still scheduled for the December release, a slightly revised price list to start the holiday season at $265 (4GB), $320 (8GB) and $400 (16GB). Sure the prices ain’t cheap but still you don’t have to bear a 2 or 3 year contract with some lousy cellphone operator.

Apple nowadays tries to bundles its music management software iTunes to every possible gadget they are making…. be it iPhone, iPod, the Mac. Just like Microsoft does with the WMP and Internet explorer.

But we never get a mention of Apple dragged to courts due to anti-trust, monopolistic litigations. Not everybody loves everything about Apple, same goes for their iTunes that comes bundled with iPod. I don’t prefer iTunes mostly because I’m a Winamp addict since god knows when! Favoritism is a different issue altogether, we can discuss about that later.

The upcoming Zune 2 just gets official. Price at a cool $249 for the 80GB hard drive model and $149/$199 for the 4GB and 8GB flash-based models respectively. As you would know it comes with WiFi which automatically sync with your PC or laptop. The Zune pad is touch sensitive much like the iPod click wheel.

Meizu yesterday came up with the M7 right after a week the announcement of iPod. It was close to the iPod in design, functionalities. Today  CEO J.Wong posted new interface shots of the M8 on there company forums.Now don’t tell me you even copied the interface…….heck!     Don’t get surprised , it’s the same as iPhone, just about everything! You can expect touchscreen designs to be around same. But the possibilities of the UI being same thats really odd. Hey copying is fine, but should atleast confess you are taking some inspiration from iPhone. Expect guerrilla wars this fall between Steve and Wong.

Bose, one of the most reputed companies in the high end audiophile systems category, but they thinking of taking a chuck of the PC audio segment by introducing a new set of speaker specially designed for your desktop. The Computer MusicMonitors are two 5-inch by 2-inch, 25-watt speakers powered by so called “dual internal opposing passover radiators. Definitely Bose should bring in a change to the already crowded PC audio speaker segment.
