o Report: Apple to Introduce Video iPod at Oct. 12 Event

San Jose, Calif. - Apple has invited reporters to a special event next week in San Jose, Calif. that has many speculating the company plans to introduce a long-rumored version of its iPod that also plays video. "Apple Computer has begun production of a new version of its iPod digital music player that will be capable of playing videos, AppleInsider has learned," according to post on the Apple enthusiast site. "Sources who claim to have seen the new iPod describe it as being similar to Apple's 60 GB iPod photo player, but several millimeters thinner." The reporter's invite, which says only "One more thing…", is a nod to how Apple CEO Steve Jobs usually introduces a new product at the conclusion of a keynote speech.

o Study: In-Game Advertising Found to be Particularly Effective

New York - In-game advertising, where ads are inserted directly into video game environments and appear on virtual city billboards and as product placements, is particularly effective, according to a study from Nielsen Interactive and in-game ad provider Double Fusion. The study, which examined the effectiveness of Double Fusion's in-game ads within developer Metro3D's PC game "London Taxi," found a 60% increase in awareness for a new product. It also found that in-game animated 3D ads achieved twice the recall of static billboards. Nielsen polled gamers and found that 50% agreed that in-game advertising makes a game more realistic, while 21% disagreed; and that 54% of gamers agreed that in-game advertising "catches your attention" (17% disagreed). "The study provides continued evidence that in-game advertising is a medium which brand managers across categories should be exploring, particularly if they want to reach the highly valuable 18-34 year old male audience," said Nielsen Interactive Entertainment managing director Henry Piney. "What we learned is that even for new brands, the impact that in-game advertising can have is significant."

o COMTek Launches First City-Wide Powerline Broadband Network in Va.

Manassas, Va. - Communication Technologies (COMTek) announced on Wednesday that it has launched the first city-wide deployment of broadband-over-powerline Internet access in the U.S., for the 37,000 residents of D.C. suburb Manassas, Va. The powerline network uses the electricity grid in a city and the wiring in individual homes to provide broadband access through electricity sockets, rather than over phone or cable TV lines. The company said that currently 12,500 households and 2,500 businesses in Manassas are covered by its network, and that it has already signed up 700 customers. "Congress is looking closely at ways to improve broadband access in rural and other non-urban settings and that is why I am so encouraged by the Manassas success with broadband over powerline," said Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.). "The City of Manassas and COMTek are to be applauded for their leadership roles in pioneering access in a way that has never been achieved anywhere else in the United States."
