3G iPhone On The Way
All signs seem to point to a June arrival for the eagerly awaited 3G iPhone from Apple. For one thing, like the tide retreating from a beach before a tsunami, current iPhones have disappeared from Apple store shelves. Numerous reports from China indicate that manufacturing is due to begin on the next-gen iPhone in May. Apple's World Wide Developers Conference is scheduled for June 9-13, and many analysts predict an announcement of the new phone will be made there.
What will be in the new iPhone? We know for sure it will operate on AT&T Wireless' speedy 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA network, currently available in 270 markets in the U.S. and 350 markets by the end of the year according to AT&T. An unlocked version also will be available in several non-U.S. markets, including Belgium and Italy, at least. iPhone also will be available in Canada through Rogers Wireless later this year.
We may also get a break on pricing. Fortune Magazine reports there will be two versions, 8 GB and 16 GB, at $399 and $499 respectively, but AT&T will offer a $200 subsidy for folks who sign up for two years. Several rumors have persisted that there will be a 32 GB version.
The iPhone rumor mill also has been swirling about what the 3G iPhone will look and act like. The strongest possibility is the current controversial recessed headphone jack will be replaced by a standard flush jack. The new model may also include true GPS capabilities, it may be smaller and lighter thanks to a plastic rather than metal enclosure.
One report from Taiwan says its screen will shrink from 3.5 to 2.8 inches, but we have a hard time believing that. It may have a front-mounted camera for possible video telephony, however, and could access and/or control tracks from your iTunes library through your home local area network ala AppleTV. Unfortunately, it likely will not include haptic response for its touch keypad.
Knowing Apple, though, the 3G iPhone will probably include some insanely cool functions no one has thought of yet.

Chi-Town's Finest
Chicago is a great city, recognized for all the extrodinary music that has come out of it during the past few decades.Some of the best Hip Hop artists of today hail from Chicago. There is Kanye, Common, Rhymefest and The Cool Kids, just to name a few. The Windy City has also provided some of the finest R&B crooners like R. Kelly, Avant and the great Lou Rawls.
Chicago-native Peter Cetera helped form a band in the late 60's who loved the city so much, they actually named themselves Chicago. Just a few years back, the name Chicago was given to both a play and a movie that showcased city life during the 1920's.
There are plenty of great artists from Chicago. Check our site for you favorites, whether it's Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, or Pop.

Never Gonna Give Rick Astley Up
Twenty-one years after its original release, Rick Astley has become an internet phenomenon with his hit single Never Gonna Give You Up. Rick can thank "Rickrolling" for his resurgence.
Rickrolling is a prank and Internet meme where a person provides a link that is supposed to be something unrelated, and the link actually takes the user to the Astley youtube video. It can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive. A person who falls for the prank is said to be "rickrolled".
Get Rickrolled today with the hot "Never Gonna Give You Up" ringtone!

Mariah On Idol
Watching Mariah Carey on Idol last night, made me realize how many great hits she has. Her new single Touch My Body has just topped the charts, and she's beat Elvis Presley for most #1 songs.Some of Mariah's biggest hits to-date are: Fly Like A Bird, Shake It Off, We Belong Together and Butterfly. She's also had mega-chart toppers like: One Sweet Day with Boyz II Men, and let's not forget the one that kicked it all off for her... Vision Of Love.
Did anyone catch David Cook with last night's show-stopper Always Be My Baby? It was an incredible (and surprising) performance!

Idol Success
One of the most fascinating things about American Idol's 2006 season, wasn't necessarily the winner Taylor Hicks or runner-up Katharine McPhee. For many people, it was the number of successful solo careers that were launched by numerous Top 12 Contestants.Elliott Yamin, the underdog of the season, released an album laced with great songs. It included the radio-friendly singles Wait For You and One Word.
Probably the most successful career launched was Daughtry. He has released numerous hit songs like Home and the current smash Feels Like Tonight.
Hey did anyone catch Dolly Parton on last night? If you want to get familiar with her tones, check them out here.
