Tommy Lee was born in Athens, Greece. His mother was a Greek beauty queen and his father was a Welsh American soldier. His family moved to California a year after his birth. Lee received his first drum set when he was four. However he received his first real drum kit when he was a teenager. At that time, he was listening to Deep Purple, KISS, and Led Zeppelin. He joined the marching band at his high school, but dropped out of school on his senior year to focus on his musical career.
His first real band was called Suite 19, With a fast playing guitarist named Bill Dora from Maryland, and played the Sunset Strip in LA during the early 80s. At this time he met future bandmate, Nikki Sixx. Casually, Sixx was forming a theatrical band that would specialize in anthemic heavy metal, and was impressed by Lee's playing. Sixx conviced Lee to leave Suite 19 and started playing together in what would end up being Mötley Crüe. At this time, he changed his name to Tommy Lee and earned the nickname "T-Bone" from Sixx. Shortly afterwards, guitarist Mick Mars joined the band. Lee recommended a singer he met at high-school, Vince Neil, and after several auditions he got the job.
Mötley Crüe quickly built a strong fanbase and they released their debut album, Too Fast for Love in 1981, on their own independent label (Leathür Records). Elektra Records decided to sign the band shortly thereafter, reissuing their debut in 1982. The band then began a string of hit releases throughout the decade -- 1983's Shout at the Devil, 1985's Theater of Pain', 1987's Girls, Girls, Girls, and 1989's Dr. Feelgood -- establishing the quartet as one of the biggest hard rock/metal bands of the '80s. During this time, Lee worked several crowd-pleasing gimmicks during his drum solo at concerts, like having his entire kit revolving and spinning, or having the entire kit float above the crowd, while he continued to play.
As the popularity of the band rose, Lee also made the headlines with his numerous romantic involvements. He married Elaine Irwin Bergen in 1984, but they divorced after a month. She later went on to wed singer John Mellencamp. He married actress Heather Locklear in 1986, but divorced in 1993 after he had s-- with p--- star Debi Diamond on an adult film set following an invitation from friend Ron Jeremy.
Pam & Tommy Lee: Hardcore & UncensoredIn 1995, he married model Pamela Anderson but divorced again in 1998 after having two children (Brandon Thomas, born June 5, 1996 and Dylan Jagger, born December 29, 1997). It was with Anderson that one of Lee's most famous incidents arose when one of their private videos was stolen in 1997. This resulted in Lee becoming notorious for his large penis size and became well known on his jet black hair, which was widely publicized by Howard Stern, and was one of the first examples of n--- celebrities on the Internet. Lee later served four months in prison after pleading no contest to kicking Anderson in the crotch. While he was serving sentence, the couple officially divorced, although they returned briefly upon his release.
Tommy Lee also decided to leave Mötley Crüe during his stay in prison, and stuck to his promise after the completion of the Crüe's Greatest Hits tour in 1999. With the popularity of rap metal, Lee formed a band called Methods of Mayhem. The band released a self-titled album the same year and toured for it.
Although Tommy Lee distanced himself from Mötley Crüe after splitting, he agreed to take part in their 2001 autobiography, The Dirt. In addition to Mötley Crüe and Methods of Mayhem, Lee has made guest appearances on albums by other artists (Stuart Hamm -- The Urge, Nine Inch Nails -- Downward Spiral, Rob Zombie -- Hellbilly Deluxe). He also contributed a solo song, "Welcome to Planet Boom" to the soundtrack of then-wife Pamela Anderson's 1996 movie, Barb Wire, and produced an album for the pre-Goldfinger project from John Feldmann and Simon Williams, the Electric Love Hogs.
Also in 2001, four-year-old Daniel Karven-Veres drowned at Lee's Malibu, California, home during a birthday party for Lee's son Brandon. On April 17, 2003, a Superior Court jury took less than three hours to reject a wrongful death claim made by Daniel's parents, German actress Ursula Karven and TV producer James (Jim) Veres. The suit accused Lee of negligence for failing to have a lifeguard or someone trained in CPR present during the birthday party.
He parted ways with Methods of Mayhem partner Tilo and began recording with members of Incubus and the Deftones. Shortly after, he started recording songs featuring himself almost exclusively, and he ended up releasing his first solo album. The album, 2002's Never a Dull Moment, had tones of rap metal and electronica, and featured little of the Mötley Crüe attitude he was famous for.
Tommy Lee in NBC's Tommy Lee Goes to College.In 2004, Lee reunited with the original Mötley Crüe line-up to release the double-disc album hits album entitled Red, White, and Crüe. They launched a monumental reunion tour to support it, The Red, White & Crüe Tour 2005: Better Live Than Dead, the band's first in six years. They also finished the year number 8 on the top concert money earners list. They played 81 shows and grossed $33 million US (Billboard Boxscore). This figure did not include a sell out tour of Australia in December 2005.
Lee released his autobiography Tommyland in 2004. That year Lee briefly attended, but did not enroll in, the University of Nebraska for a few weeks in the fall of 2004, while filming a reality television show for NBC called Tommy Lee Goes to College. The show featured a "fish-out-of-water" premise as it followed Lee's effort to fit into the collegiate experience, including trying out for the band (as a drummer), taking courses in horticulture, chemistry, and literature, and receiving constant support from a s--y but smart tutor. Lee was also one of the producers of the reality TV show. At the same time, he released his new solo album, Tommyland: The Ride in August 2005. The CD featured the hit single, Good Times. His new single, with video to be released soon, is "Hello, Again".
Tommy Lee was also a guest DJ at WXRK "K-Rock" in New York during the Fourth of July Monster Metal Meltdown in 2005.

Can you explain the importance/ obsession with Fresh IPA's? Don't misunderstand the question. I taste the value of quality IPA fresh /on tap. That said, you are not the first person that has implied that unless an IPA is super fresh it is not worth drinking. I have had some IPA's and DIPA's that where bottled/canned 10 months prior to me drinking them (kept refrigerated) and they tasted fine (perhaps not as good as they did 8 months earlier but still damn good. I thought the higher the ABV the longer beer would last and in some cases age improves them. Would appreciate your opinion.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Strong real estate market, funding cuts mean fewer infill and low-income housing projects
The fix isn't in
Winnipeg's robust real estate market and the cutting back of government funding at all levels have reduced the ability of non-profits to create more low-income housing, producing a double whammy: Fewer of Winnipeg's aging housing stock is being renovated or replaced and the city's poor are forced to live in dilapidated housing that much longer.
The city's higher house prices are even true in the inner city, Jino Distasio, director of the Institute of Urban Studies at the University of Winnipeg, said.
A decade ago, an older rooming house could be snapped up in the inner city or North End for $25,000 to $30,000 to be renovated.
The price for the same house has skyrocketed out of the reach of many non-profits that rely on government funding.
"The market has changed so radically that there just isn't really... the mechanism for some of the small groups to be able to do this," Distasio said.
"In terms of affordability, how do you take a house, buy it for $100,000, put another $60,000 in for renovation and then try to market it to a low-income family? Could they even afford that even if you could turn it around?"
What's also hurt Winnipeg's non-profit groups is the inability to secure government funding at a time of budget cutbacks, both in Ottawa and by the province.
"It's about a dwindling amount of dollars and a tightening of the regulations to get to them," Distasio said. "There just isn't that much money out there."
Charlie Huband, board member of Westminster Housing Society Inc., said Manitoba Housing a year ago brought in a proposal-call system, in which at specific times, groups could submit funding proposals for their projects. The province has said it wants to add 1,500 new affordable housing units by March 31, 2014.
But Huband, a former Appeal Court judge, said that system doesn't work for Westminster, which was previously funded by the province.
Huband said the non-profit group, which renovates homes in the city's West End, wants to get government funding when a property comes up for sale outside of the province's call for proposals.
"We can't answer a proposal call where they say 'Give us your information about the property you own' and so on," he said. "We don't own it. Proposal calls work when you already own the land and you're coming in with an architect's plans, and we're not in that position and we never were in that position."
This year, Westminster agreed to a one-time funding deal with Manitoba Housing for a two-unit project at 209 Maryland St., with Westminster carrying up to 50 per cent of the project's cost in exchange for Manitoba Housing subsidizing the rent.
The group also met with Housing and Community Development Minister Kerri Irvin-Ross in April to ask the province to set up a fund for smaller non-profits that can't operate within a proposal-call system, but are willing to put more of their own equity into projects.
"We had a good meeting with the minister, but we haven't received an answer," he said.
A spokeswoman for the province said officials are aware some groups would like to see a different funding system to assist in the purchase of properties, such as rooming houses that are now derelict or sub-standard.
At the same time, she said, the province has to ensure appropriate due diligence in the expenditure of public funds and it has to use fair, transparent processes such as requests for proposals when possible.
Non-profits are fighting back in other ways.
They've recently united -- there are more than 250 groups in the province -- under the Manitoba Non-Profit Housing Association (MNPHA) to bring a louder voice to the need for low-income housing projects. Its first conference is Nov. 22-23.
"We're trying to see if we can get together to make sure affordable housing doesn't go by the wayside," said MNPHA president Menno Peters, also executive director of the Winnipeg Housing and Rehabilitation Corp.
Without that voice and its influence on government, the spectre exists that fewer run-down homes and even apartments will be fixed up.
"I think it's important to improve them, not just to provide low-income housing but also to improve the streetscape," Huband said.
"It does something for the neighbourhood to have a decrepit building reconstituted and become a real credit to the neighbourhood."
WINNIPEG has a glut of old and poor-quality housing, says Jino Distasio, director of the Institute of Urban Studies at the University of Winnipeg.
The 2006 census shows 42 per cent of the city's housing stock was built before 1945. That represents about 10,000 units. In Vancouver, it's 16 per cent; in Montreal, it's 26 per cent. Winnipeg also has about 24,000 units deemed to be in major need of repair.
"For some reason, we're not keeping up with recycling that stock and replacing it with new," Distasio said. "This ring of old housing is causing us some challenges because the upkeep is more substantial."
The quality of that older housing stock, especially low-income rental properties, will continue to decline as public funding to renovate them also declines.
Addressing it will take a combination of government, non-profit groups and private investment, he said.
"It's a segment of the market that we have to invest in for the social good of the city," Distasio said.
"You can't say the market is through the roof and not make some investments. If the market is humming and property assessments are through the roof, well then we've got to reinvest some of those dollars in renovation and repairs for those units most in need of support."

Bulls Missing Old Bench Mob
Of the Bulls bench, only Taj Gibson, Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson had seen any time during Monday's game — but the trio only combined to play a combined 12:23 in the final 24 minutes. Coach Tom Thibodeau was asked if there was a reason he didn't use his bench more in the second half.
"No," the frustrated coach said.
In this case, Thibodeau's actions spoke much louder than his word. Of course there's a reason why Thibodeau didn't play the likes of Marco Belinelli and Nazr Mohammed, while limiting the minutes of guys like Butler and Robinson
For all the flaws guys like Omer Asik, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson had, they still knew exactly what to do when they were on the floor. While Thibodeau got frustrated with each one at various points throughout the past two years, he still had confidence in them as a group. He knew that if he plugged Asik and Gibson into the lineup they would be stalwarts defensively. He knew that even if Brewer, Korver and Watson were missing their shots they would still find a way to affect the game.

So as much as I feature high-end designers on this blog, I cannot afford these lines and I know most people cannot either. I wanted to feature some clothing stores that are on trend without being unaffordable. I was browsing the Zara website and I found myself saving almost all the images from the look book because the clothes are AMAZING. And what I also love about these images is that they feature entire outfits, rather than showcasing an individual piece.
Sorry the images are small; just click on them to get a larger image! Enjoy!
In this outfit, I love the bright yellow cardigan, knee socks, and oxfords.
Here I love the faux leather jacket with shearling detail, school girl skirt, and the oxfords (again!)
Love the leather shorts and the camel sweater. The simplicity and color palette reminds me of Celine.
I adore the jeans and the flats!
In love with these tights!
I love the pants in this outfit; reminds me of Isabel Marant.

After a rather incident free start to the semester, campus life was shaken mid-week by an afternoon power deficiency. In a university wide statement from Virginia Tech Facility Services, the Hokie community was asked to "…turn off all non-essential lighting and electrical usage by 2 p.m. today." A request that resulted in the loss of air conditioning for the majority of campus.
An interesting aspect of the request was the reason given for what led to the declared a 'Load Reduction Emergency.' From that same email, the lack in power was due to "..current weather conditions and higher than normal temperatures." The high yesterday only reached 84 degrees. Compared to normal summer temperatures around the area, 84 degrees is not terrible, though it is roughly seven degrees above normal for this date. Humidity levels also ran high for the majority of the afternoon, which only adds stress to the power grid.
Earlier this year, the Northeast battled a week-long heat wave that stressed many power grids. New York City ran a week straight with temperatures in the 90's, topping out around 98 degrees during the week. When factoring in humidity levels, the temperature felt near 100 degrees or more for the majority of the period. Over 1700 homes lost power due to rolling blackouts, and power crews were on duty with anticipation of more.
So the question becomes, does a September day with highs in the mid-80's really stress our power grid enough to trigger the threat of rolling blackouts? After reaching out to Virginia Tech Electric and Facility Services, we learned that Tech voluntarily participates in a program that works with the operator of our regions power grids. In events where power generation may fall short of demand, the university will attempt to reduce electricity usage. Tech is not directly informed of the reason for the electrical deficiency, and in many cases, the situation that resulted in the power shortage is not local.
Tech's maximum demand on the VT Electric System occurs during the late summer months as students return to school. In situations like the one that occured on Wednesday, with the heat index approaching 90 degrees for a few hours, the electric system throughout the area received an unexpected heavy load that it could not meet. It is at this point that the grid operator informed volunteer organizations such as Virginia Tech to attempt to conserve energy usage.
According to John Beach, representative for Virginia Tech Facilities Services, the university immediately took into account the impact of expected weather conditions when making the operational decision to reduce power by shutting off air conditioning.
Everything seems back to normal now. Only memories of a few smoldering classrooms and uncomfortable lectures as students leave a period of hot and humid weather into a drier and cooler weekend.

Bhopal, Dec. 20: Police have detained two IIM Indore security guards in connection with the murder of assistant professor Amrata Pancholi, 32, who was stabbed over a dozen times at her campus quarters on Thursday night.
Officers said the guards were expected to provide crucial leads. They said they were tightening the noose around a man who was known to the victim and was still inside the campus.
The police suspect the murderer is a spurned suitor, out for revenge at a time the victim is believed to have found a prospective groom whom she was about to introduce to her parents.
Pancholis parents, who live in Udaipur in Rajasthan, had spoken to her on Thursday night, hours before the murder. In keeping with an earlier plan, they had arrived at her quarters at the institute on Friday morning to be greeted by a grisly scene.
After reaching Indore by train, they had looked around for her in vain at the station. Then they had taken a taxi to her quarters, flat No. 32 on the campus.
Describing the scene, taxi driver Dharam Narain Dave said: I dropped her parents and sister at the IIM flat. What I saw was terrible it was the worst day of my life. I cannot describe how brutal the killing was.
Pancholis relatives have demanded a CBI probe. We want the truth to come out as soon as possible, her uncle, Dr C. Bhatnagar, said.
He questioned the security at the IIM and said: We cannot understand why she was given a flat at the end of the campus.
A sense of despondency and fear haunts the campus. The areas around the hostels wear a deserted look after sunset.
The hostels are interconnected, mostly built in blocks of three. A night canteen that stays open from 11pm to 5am for the students, offering anything from noodles to parathas, has not had a single customer for the past two nights.
Teachers and students said they were too stunned to react. Pancholis neighbours in flats No. 31 and 30 declined comment.
Yogesh Maheshwari, who teaches finance and accounting, said he was not in a position to say anything. Somiya Kapoor, the wife of another teacher, said she had moved in just six months ago and did not know Pancholi too well.

Vidéotron Acquired by Quebecor Media
Date Closed:
Friday, October 27, 2000
Published in Magazine:
Wednesday, November 01, 2000
The final installment in the continuing saga of Rogers Communications Inc. (Rogers), Le Groupe Vidéotron Ltée (Vidéotron), Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw), the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (Caisse) and Quebecor Inc. (Quebecor) occurred on October 27, 2000 with the acceptance of a $5.4 billion offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Vidéotron made by Quebecor Media (Media), a company jointly owned by Quebecor and the Caisse. This takeover occured pursuant to an offer from Media on September 27, 2000, replacing a previous offer made August 21, 2000, providing for the payment of $45 per share cash and targeting all of Vidéotron multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares. The new offer was conditional on the acquisition of 662/3 per cent of all of the multiple voting shares and of 662/3 per cent of all the subordinate voting shares on a fully-diluted basis.
Concurrent with this acquisition, Media proposed to acquire from various subsidiaries of Quebecor communication assets that the parties valued at approximately $2.3 billion, including Quebecor's investments in nurun Inc., Sun Media Corp., Groupe Archimbault, the Internet portal Canoe/Canoe and all of the assets related to the publication of books, magazines and alternative newspapers (excluding TQS inc. and certain minor assets).
On October 19, 2000, the date on which the new offer was set to expire, Quebecor Inc. announced that all the conditions of Media's offer had been met, and that it was prepared to take up and pay for the Vidéotron shares on October 23, 2000. Under the terms of the offer, 63,064,571 subordinate voting shares and 50,249,844 multiple voting shares, representing 100 per cent of multiple voting shares and 94.88 per cent of subordinate voting shares, were deposited. These shares include Vidéotron shares that were held by the Chagnon family (who held a 72 per cent control block of Vidéotron) and by the Caisse, Quebec's public pension-fund manager that owned a 17 per cent stake in Vidéotron.
This acquisition concluded a series of transactions reported on in the March 2000 and May 2000 issues of Lexpert, namely:
1. Rogers' February 7, 2000 announcement that it planned to acquire Vidéotron in a $5.6 billion share swap;
2. Rogers' March 23, 2000 announcement of a wide-ranging series of agreements with Shaw pursuant to which they agreed to a major swap of cable assets and the creation of strategic Internet alliances;
3. An interim injunction granted to the Caisse on March 24, 2000, preventing the Chagnon family from approving a Rogers and Vidéotron merger;
4. A preliminary $5.9 billion offer made on March 31, 2000 by Quebecor and the Caisse to shareholders of Vidéotron.
Vidéotron's acquiescence to the originally unsolicited Quebecor offer ended one of Canada's most hotly-contested takeover battles. The acquisition of Vidéotron extends Quebecor's reach into Quebec's cable TV market and adds to its multimedia empire which already includes newspapers such as the Toronto Sun, the popular Canoe Inc. Internet portal and Quebec television stations.
Counsel for the parties to the successful bid (Qubecor, Caisse and Vidéotron) were as follows: For the Caisse: in-house General Counsel Claude Bergeron, with the assistance of a team from Goodman Phillips & Vineberg that included Sylvain Cossette and Jonathan Lampe (corporate/securities), Robert Mongeon, William Brock, Louis-Martin O'Neill and Marc-André Boutin (litigation), Robert Raizenne, Brian Bloom and Marie-Emmanuelle Vaillancourt (tax) and Michael Koch (CRTC). For Quebecor: a team from Ogilvy Renault led by Marc Lacourcière (corporate/securities) and consisting of Dominique Fortin, Terry Dobbin, Ava Yaskiel, Steve Malas, Sol Sananes, Manon Guesthier, Michelle Setlakwe and Felix Duval (corporate/securities), Andrew Fleming, Robert Borduas, Jane Bogaty and Martin Thériault (banking), Jules Charette (tax) and Denis Gascon (competition). For Vidéotron: a team from McCarthy Tétrault consisting of Benjamin Silver, Patrick Boucher and Raphaelle Lapierre (securities) and Warren Goodman (corporate/ commercial).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 Coffee provides more than just a morning jolt; that steaming cup of java is also the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Scranton (Pa.). Their study was described today at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.
"Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source. Nothing else comes close," says study leader Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a chemistry professor at the university. Although fruits and vegetables are generally promoted as good sources of antioxidants, the new finding is surprising because it represents the first time that coffee has been shown to be the primary source from which most Americans get their antioxidants, Vinson says. Both caffeinated and decaf versions appear to provide similar antioxidant levels, he adds.
He cautions that high antioxidant levels in foods and beverages don't necessarily translate into levels found in the body. The potential health benefits of these antioxidants ultimately depends on how they are absorbed and utilized in the body, a process that is still poorly understood, says Vinson, whose study was primarily funded by the American Cocoa Research Institute.
The news follows a growing number of reports touting the potential health benefits of drinking coffee. It also comes at an appropriate time: Coffee consumption is on the rise in the United States and over half of Americans drink it everyday, according to the National Coffee Association.
Antioxidants in general have been linked to a number of potential health benefits, including protection against heart disease and cancer. For the current study, Vinson and his associates analyzed the antioxidant content of more than 100 different food items, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, spices, oils and common beverages.

Yet anecdotal evidence still suggests that TV critics wield more industry power, especially with creative executives in charge of programming. In light of the recent DirecTV rescue of critics' darling Damages from cancellation, The Hollywood Reporter argues that, even among the thousands of TV blogs on the web, the influence of traditional reviewers is not to be underestimated:
"The television critic cuts through the massive amount of programming that's available," says Susan Young, president of the TCA, of which this reporter is a member. "The other role is to say, 'Give this show you watched one time another shot.' Neither 'Mad Men' nor 'Breaking Bad' would have gotten a second look if not for TV critics."
For now, professional TV critics, whether online or in newspaper and magazines, still hold sway. A swell of critics decrying the likes of a monster failure, like ABC's "Caveman" in 2007, can encourage a show's quick demise, or, by contrast, influence keeping underdogs on the air -- like their much beloved yet struggling "Friday Night Lights" on DirecTV/NBC.

By Anu Passary | Sep 13, 2012 12:51 PM EDT
Apple unveiled its fifth iteration of the iPod Touch at a press event on Sept. 12. The new iPod touch has received a much-need facelift after sporting the same aesthetic design for the last two years. Here is a round-up of the new device's features and specifications.
Follow us
As rumored, the redesigned iPod Touch, touted as the "thinnest, lightest iPod Touch ever," will have features that are similar to the iPhone 5. It will sport a 4-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch IPS screen with 1136 x 640 pixels resolution and "fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating."
"The new Retina display got taller but not wider. That means everything you do on iPod touch can remain a one-handed operation, and your thumb gets more room to roam. The display is also more advanced, with finger-friendly Multi-Touch technology built into the glass instead of beneath it. So less gets between you and your games, music, messages - whatever you love to see and do," states the Apple Web site.
Size, Weight, and Design
The new iPod touch has a "supersmooth finish" and 23.4mm x 58.6mm x 6.1 mm. At 88gms, it is much lighter than its predecessor which weighed 101gms.
"Fun was built into every millimeter of the new thinner, lighter iPod Touch. It does more than ever, more powerfully than ever, from playing games to playing music to just playing around. And everything looks tremendous on the 4-inch Retina display," states the Apple Web site.
The new iPod Touch is made from the anodized aluminum that Apple uses in its MacBook line. Apple also asserts that the new iPod touch is a tough cookie and is made from one of the strongest grades of aluminum available.
Processor and OS
With the new iPod touch, Apple packs in several firsts including a new A5 processor and will come with the latest iOS 6.
Camera and Battery
Apple's rear-facing iSight camera has been upgraded to 5 megapixels, which Apple says is "seven times more than the previous generation." The iSight camera also comes with backside illumination, an f/2.4 aperture, and supports face detection.
"The new iSight camera lets you take your best shots. Facebook integration gives you plenty to post about. (Or you can just ask Siri to post for you.) And, of course, there are endless games to play and endless music to listen to. All on the thinnest, lightest iPod touch ever," states Apple.
The camera has the same sapphire crystal lens as the iPhone 5, advanced optics, tap to focus, and an LED flash. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera too gets a boost. Additionally, like the iPhone 5, the new iPod touch camera too supports a panorama shooting mode.
The non-removable rechargeable lithium-ion battery will allow users up to 40 hours and 8 hours of audio and video playback, respectively.
The Loop
The introduction of a new feature called "the Loop" enables iFans to attach a strap to the iPod touch. The Loop comes color-matched with the new iPod touch. The option to buy different colors separately is also available.
Apple says "It's a fun new way to keep your iPod touch safe at hand."
The new iPod touch supports Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n. It has Wi-Fi support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. It will also include AirPlay mirroring for the first time ever.
In the Box
The box will include the iPod Touch, iPod Touch Loop, the new Apple EarPods, the new Lightning USB Cable, and a Quick Start guide.
Colors, Availability, and Pricing
The iPod touch will come in an array of colors: red, yellow, blue, black, and white, and each with its own matching "Loop" strap. The previous model had only two variants -black and white.
The new iPod touch will hit the shelves in October and the pre-order starts on Sept. 14. The 32GB and 64GB models will cost $299 and $399, respectively.
