- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.
- U2
- This record is perhaps U2's finest hour, yet it has been forgotten as a strange by-product of the ZooTV tour's overload, and is generally regarded by most fans as a poor effort. It is this sentiment t

Woz: iPhone Needs 3G
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple legend and co-founder Steve Wozniak thinks the iPhone offers the best overall handheld Web browsing experience, but laments the fact that the combination iPod and smart phone does not support faster 3G wireless data networks. Woz shared his thoughts while speaking at the Broadband and Beyond conference in Sydney, Australia, according to ZDNet Australia.
"To tell you the truth, I was disappointed. Half the phones in the AT&T store were 3G already," he said.
Apple’s iPhone uses the slower EDGE data network for wireless surfing -- a choice CEO Steve Jobs claimed was driven by battery performance.
Despite his disappointment with the slower data connection speeds on the iPhone, Woz said that it is still his favorite handheld when surfing the Web. Other smart phones, he said, couldn’t compare to the iPhone experience.
"Not one of them made me feel good about accessing the Internet, browser-style until the iPhone," he said.
While Apple has not confirmed that a 3G version of the iPhone is on the way, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said last November that customers should expect to see that some time in 2008.
