The National's Aaron Dessner teaches you how to play a couple of their songs here, pretty cool.

"world greatest musician"?! that's some funny stuff right there.

Bogus flag? Then why did the National Association of Sport Officials call that one of the BEST calls ever? The referees kept Miami in that game. It never should've gone to overtime to begin with.

Would you like to compare your jort wearing, mullet sportin', confederate flag waving, SEC pre-conference schedules to Ohio State's before bashing on OSU?

this was all custom made by Savant, not Apple

No multi-tasking, no camera and no Flash is a deal killer for me with version 1. Maybe version 2 will be different. (i realize html 5 will resolve Flash)

Also I think the OS, using the iPhone GUI, is terrible. It's way too elementary. It's passable on the phone but having dozens/hundreds of applications scattered around the main screen / desktop seems like placeholder work to me.

I see people who don't have computers at home being the market for this. I have relatives who don't have email and this would be good for them. Or people with home desktops but want a secondary portable 'computer'.

I was really hoping for a new version of iTunes (or killing it all together and giving up something completely new) that is more robust for large libraries, incorporates brand new features and combines the iPad with the TV.

i'll be covering itunes playlist in the near future here: alternapop.com
not only 'how', but 'why', etc.

is this guy's teleprompter crooked? looks like his head is angled for most of the video.

the url's at the end of the video are a mess.

"Twitter-www.twitter.com/attshare" is way too long and almost makes it look like "Twitter-" is part of the url.

why not just use:

twitter.com/attshare ???

this video's target market would understand... you don't have to spell it out.

this is a common practice, it's called Advertising & Marketing. here is a similar example from another Microsoft ad from 2003. http://bit.ly/MS-ad

jordan doesn't quite get it. try tracking over a hundred artist manually that you'd like to see live. explain to me how that's the best use of your time when it can be automated and not be intrusive.

you can connect last.fm, pandora and lala.com to your account at sonicliving.com. coming from someone who has used most of these tools from pollstar (terrible) to iLike to iConcertCal... Sonicliving seems to be the most thorough and announces shows long before most others.
