I was a big fan of last year's HDD-based, 30GB Ibiza Rhapsody Wi-Fi music player, and I'm happy to report that the new, 4GB and 8GB Flash versions manage to improve on what was already a good thing—indeed, they might be giving the iPod nano a run for its money. Read on for my review.

Yes, I'm one of those guys who wait in line the day a shiny new gadget goes on sale, and the iPhone 3G is one of the shiniest gadgets of all. But while I'll be out there waiting in the wee hours of July 11 (it's my job, after all), the rest of you should think twice before losing sleep on launch day. Here's why.

Two of the best movies ever made—plus that third one from 1990—are coming to Blu-ray in just a few months, complete with brand-new transfers, lossless soundtracks, and HD extras. It's a milestone for the new format.

Looks like we'll have to get up bright and early to buy the new iPhone. Also, AT&T says a "no-commitment" iPhone is "coming soon."

For a flat monthly fee, the upcoming service will let you sign up for three or more titles at once, which you can swap out or cancel at any time. Sound familiar?

A little more than a week after Netflix announced it would nix separate account queues, the movies-by-mail giant has—wisely, if you ask me—spared its "Profiles" feature the ax.

An e-mail popped into my inbox last night, and it reads:

You spoke, and we listened. We are keeping Profiles. Thank you for all the calls and e-mails telling us how important Profiles are.

We are sorry for any inconvenience we have caused. We hope the next time you hear from us we will delight, and not disappoint, you.

It's great news, as the Profiles feature—which lets you set up multiple DVD queues under a single account—is a clever and (as I wrote before) potentially relationship-saving option, especially for domicile-sharing movie lovers with clashing tastes.

A Netflix rep had originally told me that Profiles were going away because they were "not used by a very big portion of the member base."

Well, I'm glad that Netflix has decided to reverse course and keep a cool feature even if it's not that popular—although, as the same Netflix spokesperson pointed out, the Profile feature was pretty popular with everyone who used it.

Also, I must say—I appreciate Netflix's use of the words "we," "are," and "sorry" in the same sentence. Few companies are comfortable with even admitting that they were wrong, much less apologizing for it.

Sony has finally fleshed out the details for its new trophy system, and it looks pretty similar to Xbox 360 achievements—with a few interesting twists, plus some annoying drawbacks.

The Canadian carrier of the iPhone plans on charging its customers $75 a month for just 300 minutes, 100 text messages, and only 750MB of data, making AT&T's monthly rates look like a bargain—and judging from a rapidly growing online petition, Canadian iPhone fans are none too happy.

The assault on iTunes continues apace as Rhapsody, known mainly for its monthly music subscriptions, launches an MP3 music store—and as part of the deal, Verizon Wireless users with select V Cast phones will get DRM-free PC downloads.

I'm not sure if Microsoft would ever let other companies build Xbox 360 consoles—but it should, especially given the sorry state of Microsoft's gaming hardware.
