iPhone 4 is here!

“Steve Jobs moved on from discussing the Apple App Store to the company’s iPhone products. According to Jobs, iPhone now has 28 percent of US smartphone market, behind RIM at 35 percent. In terms of mobile web browsing, the iPhone commands a 58 percent market share.

Joking that some attendees have “already seen this,” Jobs moved on to introduce iPhone 4, saying it has 100 new features. The iPhone 4 is 9.3mm thick, about 24 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS was. It includes a micro-SIM tray, a new camera on the back with an LED flash and new front-facing camera. It also adds a second mic on the top for noise cancellation purposes.

SiA talks about new album “We Are Born,” feeling miserable

Not happy to hear that SiA is feeling miserable these days, but last time she felt this way she released the monumental Colour The Small One. It’s hard to believe that such an acclaimed artist is not making any money. It’s sad really, but we have high hopes for We Are Born and we hope it gets her the appreciation she deserves so she could stay and not become a full-time songwriter because we’d miss her beautiful face.

Robyn launches new album with mini-documentary

We can’t wait for the album as she released one of the greatest albums in pop history last time around. Click below for the rest of the documentary.

VH1 to premiere new Michael Jackson video

VH1 and VH1 Classic are set to release a new Michael Jackson video for his single “They Don’t  Care About Us” from his HIStory album. The original video showed Michael Jackson dancing and walking through the streets of Brazil. The new video is to contain live scenes and never-seen-before footage of Michael Jackson during his This Is It tour. The single is set to promote his latest greatest hits collection. That’s nice, but we need some new material!

Massimo Tartaglia assaults Berlusconi

This happened in Milan a little while ago while Italy’s Prime minister Berusconi was meeting and greeting his supporters. We never condone violence of any sorts, but, just as the shoe throwing incident with George W. Bush brought a certain amount of sweet justice, this one does too. Berlusconi has been known for his chauvinistic  jokes, his strong anti-human rights stances, his racist comments (once directed at Obama) and his sense of supriority over the Arab world. He is also in love with Bush. A leader of the “center-right” in Italy who also happens to be embroiled in endless sex scandals and alleged ties with the mafia. Pn top of all that, he has a strong hold on the media that has given Italy low rating in the Freedom Houses indexes. We don’t sympathize with him at all, but we remain with our pacifist beliefs, even if the damage he has done to lives is way much more than two broken teeth and a fractured nose.

Nadia Ali

You might not know Nadia Ali. But, she has been shaking the dance world for a couple of years now. This Pakistani-American of Punjabi decent was one part of the dance duo iiO. They are best known for their hit song “Rapture.” Their album Poetica received moderate success, but now she wants to do it on her own. “Fine Print” is her new single and it doesn’t stray too far away from her dance roots. The cover’s not too bad either. Looking forward to finding some top-notch dance tracks on her album.

Janet Jackson reveals cover for “Best Of” collection

So, she changed the name from Number 1′s to The Best, because, as we’ve said before, some of these tracks never saw top spot in their lives. Still, the album cover could have used some boasting and boosting. Cute is out and fierce is in. She should have done something lavish and decadent that honors her long-standing career in the pop world. Like her standing on a very high pedestal and spitting on Ashanti, or something in that sense. But, we get to settle for this re-issue package that’s lackluster in appearance and really doesn’t do anything new to Janet Jackson completists like us.
