Well, I logged in to the web today to check on some news and what did I find? Apple Computer has upped the bar again for the digital music industry. First, the iTunes Music Store is now available across Europe and North America. Second, Apple has launched an Exclusive U2 branded iPod but the third item is the coolest yet. The third item is iPod Photo. iPod Photo can not only play your iTunes music but, you can now store all your photos on the iPod and share them via the television or the color screen on the device. Solid move Apple. I can’t wait to see one in person.
