Introducing iPhone and Apple TV
Last week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs delivered the Macworld 2007 keynote presentation in San Francisco, unveiling the iPhone and Apple TV.

iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. It completely redefines what you can do on a mobile phone.

Apple TV brings your iTunes library — movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts — from your Mac or Windows PC to your big screen at home. And your digital photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Album on a Windows PC appear in high definition, so you can put on a stunning big-screen slideshow right on your TV.

Learn about these products now. Watch the Macworld 2007 keynote webcast, which you can also download from the iTunes Store and play on your iPod. And check out photo galleries of the show, too.

National Geographic's Atmosphere Podcast National Geographic’s Atmosphere Podcast gives you the ability to transform your home, work, or travel environment into an exotic ambient setting.

See Cairo come to life as the sun crests over the Nile. Experience the grandeur of Yellowstone from a cloud, as a golden valley materializes from the mist. Go deep in the heart of Africa’s Congo — when the sun goes down the forest comes to life. Scuba dive off the Patagonian coast of Argentina and join a group of dusky dolphins and sea lions as they feast on a swirling school of anchovies. Journey to the ancient religious complex of Angkor Wat in the jungles of Cambodia.

Download these National Geographic “Atmosphere” video podcast episodes and more for free at the iTunes Store.

Amanda Congdon Go behind the scenes of videoblogging’s favorite introverted extrovert, Amanda Congdon.

Amanda Congdon is the co-president of Oxmour Entertainment. She is a videoblogger, writer, actress, and producer. You can watch and participate in her videoblogs Wednesdays on ABCNews.com and Fridays on StarringAmandaCongdon.com.

Also, she is currently developing a show for HBO that will feature both television and online components. Last fall, Amanda traveled across the country as part of her Amanda Across America project, where she chronicled her entire trip, via videoblog.

School of Rock Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is a wannabe rock star who doesn’t seem to be rocking much of anything these days. Kicked out of the band that he started and about to be kicked out of his apartment, Dewey pretends that he’s his roommate Ned Schneebly (Mike White) in order to take a job as a substitute teacher.

Arriving at an ultra conservative — and ultra expensive — prep school, Dewey manages to fool the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). Soon, he finds himself in a classroom with a bunch of fifth graders. Obviously, Dewey has no intentions of teaching these kids anything, but when he discovers that a handful of them are talented musicians, a light bulb goes off.

Determined to enter the local battle of the bands and win $25,000, Dewey embarks on his greatest mission of all: Teaching these kids how to rock! Download and own School of Rock at the iTunes Store.

Movies
The Queen Following the death of Princess Diana in an auto accident, Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) and Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) struggle to reach a compromise in how the royal family should publicly respond to the tragedy. In the balance is the family’s need for privacy and the public’s demand for an outward show of mourning.

See The Queen in theaters now.

The Last King of Scotland In an incredible twist of fate, a Scottish doctor (James McAvoy) on a Ugandan medical mission becomes irreversibly entangled with one of the worlds most barbaric figures: Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker). Impressed by Dr. Garrigan’s brazen attitude in a moment of crisis, the newly self-appointed Ugandan President Amin handpicks him as his physician.

The Last King of Scotland opens in theaters today.
