Jean-Michel Jarre, a pioneer when it comes to electronic music and also famous for those massive concerts that got record amounts of followers and used some of the most beautiful laser and firework games, has now designed some iPod Speakers. And looks really neat. Dubbed the AeroSystem it features two 20W RMS speakers and a 45W RMS subwoofer into a retro design that also packs a USB port and a 3.5mm jack. Though they look shinny and modern, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be a real deal, because the cost for these iPod speakers are €450 (some $580). Plus, it’s only in France right now. - via Gadget Lab

Ordering room service using an iPhone or an iPod Touch is one the most interesting things I’ve heard regarding Apple’s products. Apparently Malibu Beach Inn is trying to attract people that are in love with their touchscreens and won’t let go of the fancy brick, no matter what.

The hotel has a web application built for the Safari Browser, that allows all iPhone/iPod Touch users to access remote capabilities like room service, setting a wake up call, requesting luggage, renting a limo and flipping the door placard to “Do Not Disturb”. Does that mean that geeks are lazy or is it just a nice way of saying we love you Apple freaks, come stay at our hotel for a couple of nighs to play with the system. Not sure if any geek will afford something like the Malibu Beach Inn though.

There is a rumor on the market saying that Apple is preparing a $100 price drop for the iPhone and the iPod Touch line in the next few months. The same rumor says that Apple may lose the 8GB versions of the iPod or the iPhone.

With analysts craving for a new Apple event, late February, this sounds almost real and if I try to go deeper and deeper I can think of the following:

1. The 3G iPhone is on the way so I guess Apple needs some price spacing by the end of the year when it goes live. Even Forbes announced that a better iPhone is on the way.
2. Memory prices are going vertically down so it’s only fair for Apple to sell the iPod Touch or the iPhone, cheaper.

So the new prices could be $299 for the 16GB iPod Touch and $399 for the 32GB version, while the 16GB iPhone is going to cost $399.

Holidays rush! Everybody is looking for something cool in order to offer a nice and fashionable gift. What could be more wanted than a high tech device? iPhone? Oh, yeah! iPod Touch? No problem. Apple’s latest iPod, looks alike the iPhone, but it doesn’t have so many features. However the Touch has a 3.5-inch touch-sensitive glass screen and is able to connect to Internet via built-in Wi-Fi.

I wouldn’t mind to receive one as a present. The Touch features a web browser for surfing the Internet and comes with 8 or 16 GB of storage. iPhone’s applications work perfectly with iPod Touch. So there is a lot of entertainment provided. It plays photos, videos and music, and you also have YouTube. The gadget retails for $299(8GB) and $399 (16GB).

I would certainly opt for the Touch against a Zune or Sony mp3 player, even the price is higher. I have heard about many people who put the Touch on their wish list for Santa. The player can substitute the iPhone in those countries where it wasn’t launched yet.
