Despite loads -- and I mean LOADS -- of airtime dedicated to educating viewers about the upcoming DTV transition, the analog armageddon may be delayed four months.

As portable music players are fast-becoming portable media players, users are looking for ways to make their movies as mobile as their music. Entrenched in copyright issues, the ability to copy DVDs to a computer isn't as much 'desktop' issue as it is a courtroom one.

Earlier this month, media software company Real introduced RealDVD, a product designed to let users copy movies to their computers for playback and storage. Just hours after making the software available, Real has lawyered-up and is preparing to battle the major movie studios in court.

Just weeks after launching their new Windows Vista ad campaign, Microsoft is reportedly ending their series of commercials featuring comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

The software giant made headlines when they inked the sitcom star for a reported $10 million, as they aimed to counter competitor Apple's long-running, and well-received, "PC vs. Mac" spots.

As expected, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced a new iPod Nano at a press event in San Fransisco on Tuesday.

In addition to the retooled iPod, Apple announced changes to the iPod Touch and an update to the iTunes software.
