worlds smallest music player (ipod)

The new iPod shuffle is "nearly half of the size of the previous model" and includes a feature that voices song titles, artists and playlist names.

"The third-generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs and is easier to use with all of the controls conveniently located on the earphone cord," Apple said in a statement.

"With the press of a button, you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist."

The new music player will sell for 79 dollars in the US market.

Apple sold 22.7 million iPods in 2008. The "shuffle" randomly selects songs from the player's music library.

The iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages: English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

Ohio grandma gives birth to daughter's triplets

CLEVELAND (AP) — A 56-year-old woman who gave birth to her triplet granddaughters a month ago is recovering from a Caesarean section and hopeful that one of the girls will be home from the hospital by Saturday.

Jaci Dalenberg, 56, of Wooster in northeast Ohio, offered herself as a surrogate when her daughter, Kim Coseno, and her husband, Joe, were waiting to adopt. Coseno had two children from a previous marriage but was unable to have another baby because of a hysterectomy.

Her ovaries could produce eggs, so she and Joe Coseno, her husband of three years, tried in vitro fertilization. The embryos were implanted in Dalenberg's uterus.

Dalenberg said she was not frightened to be pregnant at her age.

"I've always been really healthy. I did get medical clearance, including psychological testing," Dalenberg told The Associated Press on Tuesday. read more of the story

As you might recall, the device has some pretty impressive features--dual-band HSDPA, quad-band GSM, Wi-Fi, a full HTML browser, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, TV-out, a document viewer, 60MB of internal memory plus a microSD card slot, a 5-megapixel camera, and a luscious-looking 3-inch capacitive multitouch display with active Flash UI (we're almost certain the iPhone has a patent on that multitouch thing, but maybe LG is referring to something else). In other words, we're looking forward to this.

Both Microsoft and Yahoo offer video with their instant messaging services, but have not integrated it into e-mail.

"I think it's a nice addition and some people will use it, but I don't think it will drive huge adoption of gmail, " said Greg Sterling, of Sterling Market Intelligence, referring to Google's free e-mail service.
