Apple has announced the iTunes Festival 2010 in London, UK, promising 62 bands across 31 days in a series of gigs at the Roundhouse.

The first three headliners have been announced, these include Scissor Sisters (July 1), Tony Bennett (July 2) & Ozzy Osbourne (July 3).

“This has all the makings of a great gig,” says Ozzy Osbourne who will release Scream, his first album in almost three years via Epic, on June 14. “I’ve never performed before at the legendary Roundhouse, and it’ll be fantastic to do an intimate show there for the fans.  We’re also recording it, so if you can’t make it to the gig, it’ll be available for download on iTunes.”

Each performance will be recorded and sold exclusively on all 23 iTunes Stores worldwide. ITV will be broadcasting the best of the festival from the Roundhouse.

These free events take place every night in July. Tickets are free for competition winners.

If true, this rumor would blow away pre-released iPhones or anything else this year by a long shot.  The Evening Standard is reporting that Apple is in talks to buy the Cambridge UK based processor designer, ARM  for $8 billion. That is less than one fifth of Apple’s cash and short term holdings of over $40 Billion.

ARM’s stock price was up 8.1 points on the news.  Apple uses ARM chips in iPods, iPhones and its new A4 chips inside its iPad.

Apple buying ARM would profoundly change the technology industry as a whole.  Just about every single mobile device smaller than a Netbook uses ARM chips.  That includes Nokias, Blackberries, Microsoft phones, Android phones from Motorola and HTC a lot of routers, hard drives, cars, Sony PSPs NintendoDS…and that is the begining.  There is an ARM chip for every human being on earth, many times more than Intel’s footprint.

The deal would also have to clear government regulatory approval in the US and abroad, which might be tricky.

ARM was originally founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer and VLSI Technology. So this would be a homecoming of sorts. via Macrumors.

Apple this morning announced that 3G iPad models will be delivered to US pre-order customers on Friday, April 30, and will be available in retail stores the same day starting at 5pm.

9to5Mac has also received confirmation Apple has started shipping the iPad Camera Connection Kit to customers.

The kit allows iPad owners to download digital photos to the device using a USB or SD Card interface.

Previous reports have suggested the USB interface may also support USB audio, opening the door to 3rd party audio devices.

That explains it. via MacRumors
