iPhone & iPod Touch OS 3.0 Software Update!  

5 comments

So I was really pissed off when I read about all the great new stuff that the upcoming iPhone 3G S would be able to do after just buying my current 3G four months ago. But guess what?!

The new iPhone OS 3.0 software update adds most of the new features from the 3G S to the current 3G!!

The new update includes:

  • Landscape keyboard
  • Cut, Copy and Paste
  • MMS video, photos, audio and contact info
  • Spotlight search
  • Peer to peer connectivity
  • Voice memos
  • Improved calendar
  • Shake to shuffle
  • and my favourite Youtube Login!
Theres also an update for the iTouch (second generation) that includes some of the new features but of course some of the features available on the iPhone wont' be supported by the iTouch.

The software update is free for the iPhone but if you want it for the iTouch it'll cost ya 9.99$ (CAD). I've already tested many of the updates on my iPhone and I'm very impressed so I think it'd be worth it for iTouch owners to purchase the update.

I'm very happy and relieved by this update 'cause I was about to send a hate letter to Steve Jobs but now I'm happy :o)

The update for the iPhone will self install the next time you connect it to your computer and for the iTouch you'll find it on the home page of the iTunes store.

Welcome to the future boys and girls!

Little Boots - New In Town  

0 comments



I’ve been OBSESSED with Little Boots for the past few months so I’m very excited about the release of her full length debut album titled ‘Hands’.

The album was released today in the UK but unfortunately it's not yet available in North America. In the meantime there's a new EP coming out tomorrow that should keep her fans satisfied for a bit (already pre-ordered it). The EP is titled 'Illuminations' and it contains some not yet released tracks, digital booklet and the "New In Town" music video.

If you’re not familiar with her music you’re missing out on one of the best new artists to come out of the electro-pop scene this year. Some music critics and reviews have gone as far as to name her the new Lady Gaga and the new Kylie Minogue and I have to say they might be right.

Watch the music video above for “New In Town” the album’s lead single and her very first music video as a solo artist.

Click HERE to purchase the “New In Town” EP (four remixes), HERE for her full album 'Hands' (UK only) and HERE for 'Illuminations' (North America).

Make sure to visit her official MySpace page to learn more about her.

I haven't followed Mylène Farmer's career as much as I should've but thanks to my friend Dan I've discovered one of the most amazing songs/videos ever.

Check out the video above for Mylene's ultra sensual "Dégénération" the first single from her seventh studio album 'Point de Suture' (2008).

I'm loving this song and I purchased the "Dégénération" Remix - EP on iTunes HERE.

Thank you Dan!

Hey everyone!

Again sorry for the lack of posts lately. Like I said before I've been busy with other stuff and also didn't really have anything to write about. That's over now 'cause I have tons of cool music to write about and share with you, so much that I don't even know where to start...

Well lets start with the new look of Pop Spotlight. I've redone the layout and added some cool widgets from a few of my favourite music sites and resources including iTunes and Last.fm. I'll write more about them later.

I've also added a poll and a guestbook, more stuff to come soon. So welcome back to Pop Spotlight, poke around the new layout and share it with your friends.

Thanks for dropping by and come back often.

BoA - I Did It For Love  

0 comments



A few weeks ago my friend Jay showed me a preview for BoA's "I Did It For Love" video and I was hooked!

I bought her self titled debut album as soon as I got home that night without even previewing the other tracks. I knew I'd love it and I was right! The whole album is full of delicious pop/dance songs that you'll keep playing over and over again.

"I Did It For Love" is my personal favourite and I'm soo glad she made a video for it. The song is addictive and the video is amazing!! Been waiting for the full video to come out and it's finally out! Watch it above and enjoy!

Get the track HERE, the video HERE and her full album HERE.

Lily Allen - Not Fair  

0 comments



Here's the latest video by the always controversial Lily Allen. This one's for "Not Fair" the second single from her sophomore album 'It's Not Me, It's You'.

The song and video are quite different from anything she's done before. Some might not appreciate the style and look if they're not familiar with the old country variety shows but I totally see what she's going for. It's just for fun and obviously she doesn't take herself too seriously.

I'll be seeing her live in Toronto on April 22nd, can't wait!!

Get the track HERE, the video HERE and her full album HERE.

I first discovered Frankmusik on MySpace over a year ago and I've been scouring the net for his singles ever since.

He's got an EP out which was really hard to find but thankfully he's got a full album coming out later in the year.

Until then here's a little piece his musical genius for your enjoyement; the track is called "Better Off As Two".

Listen to more of his music on his official MySpace page HERE and check out his official YouTube Channel HERE.
