U2 360 Tour - Ticketmaster VIP Packages

The U2 360 Tour presented by BlackBerry is coming to the UK this summer and cheap tickets will be available to purchase from Ticketmaster from 9am this Friday 20th March.

In their new tour U2 will be visiting 14 cities across Europe and this will include dates in the UK. The following UK dates have been confirmed…

• Wembley Stadium London - Friday 14th August 2009
• Hampden Park Glasgow - Tuesday 18th August 2009
• Don Valley Stadium Sheffield - Thursday 20th August 2009
• Millennium Stadium Cardiff - Saturday 22nd August 2009

You can already buy VIP packages and bid on RED zone packages at Ticketmaster.co.uk.

U2 have become one of the biggest rock bands in the world, so demand for these tour tickets will be incredibly high.

Fan pre-sales begin tomorrow and you can purchase VIP packages now, but normal tickets won’t be available until Friday morning.

I’m no expert, but with only 4 UK dates available the U2 360 Tour tickets are bound to sell out in record time.

If you’re a fan and you’ve got a bit of cash put aside, it’s worth checking out the VIP packages that are available, as you can get free champagne, a post-concert party, VIP gift, VIP laminate and more!

Make sure you don’t miss what is set to be one of the biggest tours of this year (the other being the Michael Jackson Tour of course) and buy tickets for the U2 360 as soon as they come on sale this Friday.

Visit the Ticketmaster website now for more details on cheap VIP packages and information on RED Zone bidding.

The speakers at the Currys i-Shop can be very powerful and great for taking along to parties and social gatherings, but the iPod Party Speaker from IWantOneOfThose.com is in a league of its own!

IWOOT are calling the iPod Party  Speaker the “ultimate mobile party system” and they’re definitely not exaggerating!

Two wheels on the base of the iPod Party Speaker and a retractable handle allow you to pull it along behind you at ease, making this speaker extremely portable.

When fully charged the internal re-chargable battery can provide up to 12 hours of play, but a mains cable is also provided for even longer music sessions!

The iPod Party Speaker dock is compatible with all iPods (apart from the Shuffle) and you can even hook it up tp CD or MP3 players and musical instruments with a 6.3mm jack.

Even though the iPod Shuffle won’t sit in the dock, you can connect it through one of the four inputs on the iPod Party Speaker.

A good quality microphone is thrown in with the package, so you can try your skills at DJ-ing or pretend you’re the next Bon Jovi!

The 22W iPod Party Speaker wouldn’t look out of place on stage at a gig, as it’s made from heavy duty aluminium with adjustable bass and volume and it will blast sound a whopping 50m on average!

The iPod Party Speaker can be used anywhere, so whether you’re raving in a field, partying at a festival or just chilling at home with your mates, you really should invest in one of these beasts!

Metallic Series Touchlite cover for iPod Touch Version 2

If you’re lucky enough to own a 2nd Version iPod Touch, you’ll probably want to protect it from nasty scratches and dirt.

There are plenty of cheap covers and cases available from Currys i-Shop, but none quite like the new Touchlite Metallic Series designed for the iPod Touch Version 2.

The Touchlite for iPod Touch 2 is the thinnest metallic case available and will effectively protect your Touch from damage, dust and scratches.

Touchlite for the iPod Touch 2 is a plastic case with a high reflection metallic finish in a range of colours including royal blue, dark gold, rouge and titanium.

The metallic series Touchlite gives easy access to all your iPod controls and ports, so you don’t have to ever remove it and a choice of free mirror or crystal screen protector is available with your purchase.

As of yet, the Metallic Series Touchlite Case isn’t available in the UK for purchase, but to give you a rough idea of price they are being sold in the US for $26.90.

Personally, I think that’s really cheap and reasonable for such a good-looking and functional iPod Touch 2 cover!

Keep a look out in the Currys i-Shop for the Metallic Series Touchlite case for the iPod Touch 2, as they always stock the most up-to0date accessories for anything iPod related.

As soon as we hear of any pre-order information or get a hint of the UK price for the Metallic Series Touchlite iTouch covers, we will be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, shop online at the Currys i-Shop for other accessories and iPod must-haves!

There are some very funky GelaSkins covers for various iPods available at Urban Retro too which are well worth a look.

New 4GB iPod Shuffle - £59 from Apple Store GB Online

Apple are on a roll. We loved the MacBook Pro, were very impressed with the new iMac and were wowed by the Mac mini, but now Apple have produced something else for us to drool over.

The origional iPod Shuffle was small, but the new design takes “compact” to a whole new level.

The new iPod Shuffle is 1.8″ tall and 0.3″ thin, making it the World’s smallest music player. Apple moved the controls from in the actual device to the headphone cord, so they’re even easier to access and you don’t have to take your iPod out of your pocket to change the track.

The previous iPod shuffle had a memory of 1GB and could only hold 240 songs, but the new iPod Shuffle has an immense 4GB of storage allowing room for up to 1000 of your favourite tracks.

And don’t panic - that memory has room for your multiple playlists too!

The iPod Shuffle clip turns your music player into the ultimate fashion accessory, as it’s sleek, stylish and would look great clipped to your skirt, coat or gym clothes.

The new iPod Shuffle has three modes; off, shuffle and straight (to play your songs in order), but probably the best thing about the iPod shuffle is that it talks to you.

No, i’m not going insane. The new iPod Shuffle actually has a VoiceOver that (at the press of a button) tells you the details of the artist, title and playlist that you’re listening to.

VoiceOver is a bit of a clever clogs to, as it can speak 14 different languages to suit origin or a song and simply dips down the music to provide you with the information you need.

I don’t know about you, but I always thought not being able to see what track you were listening to or who sang it was a bit frustrating and the VoiceOver feature on the new iPod Shuffle completely solves this.

The expression “big things come in small packages” springs to mind in the case of the iPod Shuffle, as even though it is very tiny it has a playback time of 10 hours when fully charged.

Continuing with their mission to make their products as environmentally-friendly as possible, Apple have made the new iPod Shuffle with a highly recyclable aluminium enclosure and smaller packaging.

The new iPod shuffle isn’t available in a rainbow of colours just yet, but you can get it in silver or black.

Perhaps even more impressive that the technical specifications is the price… it’s very cheap!

One of the cheapest places to buy the new Ipod Shuffle is direct from the Apple Store GB.

You can buy a new 4GB iPod Shuffle for just £59.00 from Apple Store GB online.

And don’t forget, Apple online are also offering free engraving, free delivery and free gift wrapping. A perfect Mother’s Day gift? Definitely!

You can also buy a new iPod Shuffle from Currys for the same price at £59.00.

Philips VHS to DVD Convertor with USB DivX

If, like me, you are fed with having to hook up your barely-used VHS player every time you want to watch an old-school video, then Philips VHS to DVD Convertor is for you.

This duel video and DVD combo not only allows you to play both medias, but also allows you to record your old VHS films onto DVDs. If, like me, you barely use your video player, and tend to plug it in when and if needed, then this combo is an ideal solution.

By recording onto DVDs it means you can play your favourite old films on your laptop, portable DVD player, or even burn them onto other portable movie devices like the iPod Touch.

This converter is also great for those who have old home videos, and who wish to make copies for safe keeping or gifts.

The other great feature about this Philips VHS to DVD Convertor is its USB DivX port, which allows you to play most movies, music, and view photos from USB storage devices like USB sticks.

Even better, Maplin are selling a cheap Philips VHS to DVD Convertor for just £149.99, saving £30 off the original price. Hurry, though, as this reduction ends 17th March.

RothDock - Perfect Streaming Solution

Ever since it was announced mid-2008, we had all been waiting for the release of Roth’s Audio RothDock; a streaming device that wirelessly streams music from your iPod or iPhone to you very own stereo system. But now it is available to buy, and here’s why we recommend the RothDock…

Most us of have had to make do with semi-good sound quality iPod speakers, but now you can stream your music from your iPod or iPhone to your own state-of-the-art sound system, without having to compromise on sound quality.

You may be thinking why you would want to wirelessly stream your music when many of the best stereo systems around allow you to plug in your iPod or iPhone.

But the beauty of this Roth Audio RothDock is that you can situate your iPod or iPhone right next to you, and play the music you want to hear without having to get up to change the song/album when the stereo is in the next room (you have 10metres of transmission distance to play with).

Plus, for many of you who invested in a quality sound system just a few years ago, there may not even be a way to plug your iPod/iPhone in. But with the RothDock, you get the wireless receiver fitted with the standard 3.5mm stereo jack, which will plug into (almost) all stereo systems.

Another great feature of the new RothDock is how the dock will detect when your iPhone is ringing by fading the music sound, and by playing your ring tone through the stereo system, meaning there is next to no chance of missing your important call.

As well as the wireless dock and receiver, you also get a fully functioning remote control.

The RothDock will also transmit music from other music-enabled phones or MP3 players, not just iPod/iPhones. The dock also charges your iPod or iPhone as it plays, meaning you don’t need to worry about partying all night and wearing out the battery!

The RothDock is a smart, sleek and discreet wireless streamer, and a perfect answer to fun parties, romantic dinners and even summer BBQs.

You can get your cheap RothDock from The Carphone Warehouse for just £99.99

Found - The Cheapest iPod Nano!

The latest addition to the Apple iPod family has been the new iPod Nano 8GB and 16GB, which were one of the biggest selling Christmas presents in 2008.

Not that the demand for the new iPod Nano has slowed down, but people are taking their time to shop around, to find the best priced iPod Nano on the market.

There are no massive savings to be found just yet, because as I mentioned, there is still such a vast demand for them. But already we can see some much needed pounds being dropped off the original RRP of £109 for the 8GB, and £149 for the 16GB.

The cheapest new iPod Nano I have managed to track down has been from Amazon.co.uk, who currently sell affordable iPod Nano for as low as £97.65 for the 8GB, or the 16BG for £135.99, saving over £10 on each. Not necessarily a vast amount, but that tenner left over means you can purchase a couple of old albums to start filling up your new iPod Nano!

In case you have been living in a hole, and are not quite aware what the new, affordable iPod Nano has to offer, then read on. Like some of the previous iPods, the new Nano has a full colour liquid crystal display with blue-white LED back-light, and can play movies and videos.

But my favourite feature of the new iPod Nano is installed with Apple’s new Genius feature, which finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. So, whether you’re in the mood to chill out, or mix it up with some raving dance tunes, the Genius feature will search your song library for you, saving you the bother!

The screen also has a motion sensor, meaning if you tilt your iPod, the screen changes orientation, too. This also allows you to play motion-sensored games and applications which you can now download onto your new iPod Nano via the iTunes Store. The shuffle function has also changed for the better, allowing you to simply shake the Nano to shuffle you to a different song in your song librariPody.

And finally, for such a small mp3 player it has a rather large full colour display, measuring 2inches diagonally. This means that you can watch your favourite films, or view your own photos, when ever you want on a high quality screen.

So make sure that you head over the Amazon.co.uk to get your cheap new iPod Nano from as low as just £97.65.
