Based on Disney’s popular movie trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean: Aegir’s Fire puts you in pursuit of Aegir’s Fire — a mythical flame that drags ships to the ocean floor. You captain the Black Pearl as you search the world for treasure, sink your enemies, battle sea monsters and outwit the Royal Navy.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Aegir’s Fire works with iPod nano 3g, iPod classic and ipod video.

IPod owners will be able to legally download shows like Life on Mars and Doctor Who and watch them on the move, following a deal between Apple and the BBC. A range of BBC shows including The Mighty Boosh, Ashes to Ashes and Spooks will be available to download from iTunes for £1.89 each.

Ashley Highfield, BBC director of future media and technology, also revealed that owners of the latest iPod Touch and the iPhone would be able to access the iPlayer via wi-fi within weeks.

Apple announced today that they’re dropping the price on the 1GB iPod Shuffle to $49 and they’re adding a 2GB model for $69 (available soon).

“It’s the world’s most wearable music player, and the 1GB iPod shuffle — just $49 — is now the most affordable iPod ever. It also has a new 2GB sibling that costs just $69 and allows customers to wear even more music on their sleeves. Or belts. Or lapels. While the 1GB iPod shuffle is available immediately, the 2GB will be available later this month. Both models come in five colors — silver, blue, green, purple and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition) — weigh just half an ounce, and are just half a cubic inch in volume.”

At the moment there is no news on a UK price drop. (Yet)
