First eight-track players slid off into history. Then that unruly stack of cassette tapes disappeared from glove compartments. Now, car-stereo makers are marketing units that threaten to boot compact discs into the auto audio graveyard. Last Wednesday, Blaupunkt announced it's shipping a second-generation, $160 stereo and AM/FM radio that ditches the CD player in favor of ports for other digital music technologies including Apple iPods and other MP3 players, thumb drives or other USB devices or SD memory cards.

All the Canadians who've held off driving down to America to buy a bootleg iPhone can rest assured that their wait is nearly over. Rogers Communications, Canada's leading wireless carrier, will bring the popular Apple device to the land up north later this year. Announced in conjunction with the release of Rogers' first quarter results Tuesday, the details are sparse. The official announcement was limited to a brief statement from President and CEO Ted Rogers, who noted "We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year."

One of the best ways to speed up any computer is to add more memory to it. As the old joke goes, you can't be too rich, too thin or have too much RAM. There are two places data live in a computer: in memory and in storage -- either a hard drive or an optical disk, such as a CD or DVD.

Apple has upgraded its all-in-one iMac line by adding faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, the fastest of which will cruise along at up to 3.06 GHz. The processors come with 6 MB of L2 cache and a faster 1,066 MHz front-side bus, with 2 GB memory standard in most models. The high-end 24-inch iMacs already flirt with performance suitable for professionals, but the $2,199, 3.06 GHz model -- with an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS graphics processor sporting 512 MB of memory -- might become a less expensive alternative to a decked-out Mac Pro.
