Michael Jackson new single set to be released


A secret Michael Jackson single is being produced... and set to be a huge hit.

Jacko recorded the song for release with his planner summer tour.

It was shelved after the 50-year-old singer's death in June but now producers in Los Angeles have remixed the vocals with an orchestral accompaniment.


A record label source said: "It sounds awesome. The size and scope of the orchestra hasn't been seen since Ray Charles recorded Georgia. Everyone expects a huge hit.

"But they're worried about it getting out - they've hired huge bodyguards to stand by the studio door."

The song will promote the Jackson documentary This Is It, in cinemas worldwide next month.

LG-GW620 - LGs First Android Smart Phone



The new LG-GW620 features a 3-inch full touchscreen and slide out QWERTY keypad to meet the growing needs of consumers who rely on their mobile phones for more than just making calls. The LG-GW620 benefits from an operating system that was created from the ground up to take advantage of the many mobile applications and services developed by search leader Google.

In addition to the Android model, LG announced in early September that it will be introducing a minimum of 13 new smartphones over the next 16 months that utilize Microsoft’s Windows Mobile. The newest release, version 6.5, was announced just last week.

Xbox 720 vs PS4? Not for a while

As everyone knows, the videogame industry is cyclic. Roughly every five years a new generation of console technology arrives and we dutifully hand over our cash to experience the new visuals and, if we're lucky, the odd innovative new feature.

Today, in the second part of an interview with Develop, the head of Microsoft Game Studios, Phil Spencer, claims that there are no plans for Xbox 360 because Natal will indefinitely expand the lifespan of the current model.

He added"We instead want consumers and developers to know that we are all going to make a huge return on that original investment in the hardware – the one Microsoft made in building it, the one developers made in making games for it, and the investment consumers made in buying the console. In the current climate that's something people are going to appreciate much more."

At the end of last month Rich Hilleman, the chief creative officer of Electronic Arts, gave an interview to tech site Venture Beat, in which he ventured the following very brief prediction below.

"I expect we'll see a PlayStation 3.5 before we see a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox 560 before we see an Xbox 720."

Apple's new iPod Nano is great news for radio – but not for DAB


Apple's new iPod Nano will include a built-in FM receiver that will allow you to pause and rewind live radio, which is great news for the industry, both commercial and the BBC - but puts another question mark against digital audio broadcasting (DAB).

The new range of iPod Nanos, unveiled by Apple yesterday, will also include a tagging device allowing users to tag a song they like and then preview and purchase it when they sync to iTunes. Marvellous.

Having just invested in an iPhone, I have mixed feelings about this innovation. I'm not going to shell out for a Nano as well, although I can download an app allowing me to listen to some - but not all - of my favourite radio stations on my iPhone.

The Beatles finally coming to iTunes

Even more than in past years, the build-up to Apple's iPod event this Wednesday has been nothing if not a bevy of The Beatles / iTunes rumors -- the company even broke with its traditional Tuesday event date to have it instead on "09-09-09," the same day The Beatles Rock Band and a new box set are due to hit store shelves.
