Lots of iPod and music related news from Apple yesterday which doesn’t make me buy another iPod, but I did order an iPhone.

Subscribe to free, del.icio.us video in iTunes
Now that del.icio.us offers feeds by filetype and iTunes has full video support (including vodcasts or video podcasts), you can load up iTunes with free video files bookmarked and tagged in del.icio.us. Here’s how:
- Go to the del.icio.us page of Quicktime .mov files, which is http://del.icio.us/tag/system:filetype:mov.
- Add tags at the end of that URL which indicate the kind of movies you want. For .mov files tagged funny you’d go to http://del.icio.us/tag/system:filetype:mov+funny.
- At the bottom of that page, copy and paste the RSS feed of those videos using the orange RSS button.
- In iTunes, go to Podcasts. In the Advanced menu, choose “Subscribe to Podcast”, Paste the URL you just copied.
All goes well, iTunes will start downloading video items from the ‘funny’ feed. Once it?s done downloading, make sure the album art panel on the lower left side of iTunes is showing. Then, click on the video item. Play it in the small panel, or expand to full-screen using the button on the bottom of iTunes? chrome.
From here on in, each time you open iTunes, any new .mov?s tagged ‘funny’ in del.icio.us will be automatically downloaded.The same technique works with music and PDF’s.
The new iPod
Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video.
Time for the world?s best music player to take the stage for another encore. In 30GB and 60GB models that hold up to 15,000 songs, full-color album art and up to 25,000 photos, the new iPod makes the most of your music and more. Yeah, you?ve heard that tune before. Only now, you can watch it, too. With support for up to 150 hours of video and a 2.5-inch color display, the new iPod lets you take music videos and TV shows on the road.
