iPodBomb - Free iPod Downloads, iPod Movies, and iPod Music!

iPod Music, Movies and Games -You don’t have to get them from Apple!

Well, we were planning to do a post on where to get cheap, quality songs (how does 13 cents for your favorite song sound?) and movies and games downloads for iPod.

We found several sites that offer quality downloads for iPod and were very impressed by the range and quality of the music, movies and games they offered.

You can get free iPod Wallpapers from Non-Apple sites

The way these sites work is by membership programs and we assume that there are some economies involved in getting large numbers of members together to enable them to provide these popular downloads at their incredibly low prices. Their software is easy to use and we found the membership system to be a quality alternative to Apple.

Unfortunately, so did Apple! They have found some “technical” legal trick to shut most of these sites down!

And this step is perhaps understandable. Apple are not really concerned about the tiny market share these companies were taking. This is really a fight for the minds of the consumer.

Currently most iPod owners are totally unaware that they can get software for their iPods from sources other than Apple.

We at iPodbomb intend to do out bit to keep your options open. We are now dedicated to reporting on all software that is produced for your benefit by non-Apple sources. We are searching to find a membership site that has escaped Apple’s attention. We will keep you posted!

Meanwhile, we were amazed to discover, for example, that most iPod owners did not even know that they could get free iPod wallpapers from NON Apple sources. Here is one site where you can choose from some very original ipod wallpaper designs:

iPod Movies - Check Out This New Way To Watch Them

iPods are great music centers. No doubt about it. But a hot new product is set to revolutionize the way we use our iPods. Have a look at this gizmo…

Its the “The Portable iPod® Video Enlarger And DVD Player” marketed by Hammacher Schlemmer. The iPod gets “docked” in the device which then plays videos recorded on the iPod on an LCD screen some 2.5 times larger than the iPods screen. Now the device costs more than the iPod did - but hey, its still a cool “extra” in our book!

Free Youtube to iPod converter

If you would like to download youtube videos on your iPod then this nifty free converter is just what you need.

There are quite a few sites that feature this nifty free converter. and it is also reviewed at download.com (51 user opinions).

But the best site, in my book, is dvdvideosoft.com as it takes us through the process of how to install and use the software - including images of each step. And it don’t come easier than that

But why, you may ask, would you WANT to watch youtube on your iPod? Well there any number of reasons (please feel free to suggest some in the comments) But a friend of mine likes to trick the unwary into watching some gruesome video clip or other and finds great success getting others to look at something on his iPod (Most of his friends have been tricked at one time or another and now refuse to watch any youtube link he sends us!!)

iTunes in trouble again!

Business week reports on yet another law suit for Apple. I think many iPod users will have some sympathy with this one, though.

The complaint is, basically, that iPod users are stuck with iTunes as a source of music (not true - as you will discover from this blog, there are other choices but most iPod users don’t realize this!)

According to the complaint, Apple has set up their shop so that only Apple hardware can use their music downloads and visa versa!

Add to that the fact that Apple has over 75% market share (up to 90% on some definitions!) then you can see where Apple would be accused of using its market power to fill its own pockets at its customers expense! (and at the same time restrict our choices)
