<description><![CDATA[Comcast is now delivering ultra high-speed Internet service to more than 40 million homes around the U.S., the company announced today.Dubbed Extreme 105, the offering provides customers with 105Mbps download speeds and up to 10Mbps upload speeds. The service is available in several major markets, including San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, the cable provider said. It plans to roll it out in other markets going forward.Reports of Comcast's 105Mbps service cropped up on the Web last year when a forum user posted what was claimed to be a bill from the cable provider marketing the new offering. A company spokesman told CNET today that the company has been &quot;quietly rolling this out for several months.&quot;Comcast said that it will be offering Extreme 105 to new and existing customers for &quot;an introductory rate of $105 per month for 12 months.&quot; The deal is available as part of the company's Triple Play bundle, which includes Internet, phone, and television service. The company spokesman said the cable provider will offer Extreme 105 as a standalone service for $199.95 per month. In addition, those who sign up for Extreme 105 will receive a wireless gateway for the home. As one might expect, opting for Extreme 105 will deliver vastly improved download speeds. According to Comcast, a 4GB HD film will download in five minutes over Extreme 105, compared to 1 hour and 30 minutes over 6Mbps service. A music album containing 10 songs will take just three seconds to download on Extreme 105, the company said.Customers living in the supported markets can sign up now.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The original iPad might soon be replaced.(Credit:Apple)Apple'siPad 2 won't have two key features that some folks have been hoping for, a new report claims.Citing unnamed sources, Engadget reported late yesterday that the iPad 2 won't launch with a high-resolution display or with an SD card slot. Apple initially planned on delivering those two features in the updatedtablet, Engadget said, but apparently &quot;engineering issues&quot; caused the company to modify its plans at the last minute.It's worth noting, however, that Engadget's latest report contradicts claims the blog made last month when it also cited unnamed sources who said the tablet would come with a &quot;super high resolution&quot; display and an SD card slot. At the time, the publication wrote that its sources could confirm their claims with &quot;near certainty.&quot; Engadget's report from last night said its sources have been &quot;dead right&quot; in the past. Considering that these two separate reports claim two very different things, perhaps those &quot;sources&quot; shouldn't make you feel as well-informed as Engadget would have you believe.As with any Apple-related rumor, it's important to keep in mind that the company is one of the more secretive in the tech industry, and rumors surrounding its products run rampant for months prior to a big announcement.Engadget's report follows several others claiming the tablet will come with a more-powerful processor and a thinner body. Yet other rumors claim the device will feature both front- and rear-facing cameras and won't be available until June.For its part, Apple isn't talking. The company did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. But we should find out everything we want to know about the iPad 2 at an Apple event on Wednesday. And CNET will be there, live-blogging every second.Until then, expect even more wild rumors to fly in reports pretending to know what Apple really has planned.Updated at 8:30 a.m. PTwith reference to a previous report from Engadget.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Social music-streaming service Rdio announced today it has raised $17.5 million as it expands to new platforms and regions.Created last year by the founders of Skype, Joost and Kazaa &amp;8212' Janus Friis, Niklas Zennstrm (pictured) &amp;8212' Rdio hopes to blend social networking, internet radio, and music playback. If it succeeds, music-streaming services like Rdio (pronounced R-D-O) could shake up the music business, ending the buying of songs and albums individually in favor of subscriptions to a big library, much like Netflix has done with movies.The idea is to give users a seamless music experience, so they can listen to music on a computer, pause it, and pick up where they left off on a phone or other device. Users can see what their friends are listening to and exchange play lists. Radio-type sites such as Pandora or Last.fm play song genres you like but dona4a4t let you choose specific songs or a specific play order. But on Rdio, you can listen to whole albums without interruption. The service launched last August.The latest deal was led by Mangrove Capital Partners and included existing investors. Friis and Zennstrm originally funded the company through their technology investment group Atomico. The company has deals with major music labels, including Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Music and Warner Music Group. Subscribers to the service get unlimited access to its millions of songs for $4.99 on the desktop and $9.99 for the mobile service.The company is based in San Francisco. Rivals will eventually include Apple, which bought the streaming music service Lala, and potentially Spotify. Other rivals are Rhapsody and Microsoft Zune. For now, Apple uses the individual song or album downloading model, where you pay for a song and download it to a computer, and requires that you manually manage take the music to other devices you want to listen to it on.Kazaa, as well as Napster, helped bring down the traditional industry of music CDs.Next Story: Ex-Skyper shakes up currency exchange Previous Story: SkyGrid Groups organize an army of fansPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: streaming musicCompanies: Apple, lala, last.fm, Pandora, Rdio, spotifyPeople: Janus Friis, Niklas Zennstrom          Tags: streaming musicCompanies: Apple, lala, last.fm, Pandora, Rdio, spotifyPeople: Janus Friis, Niklas ZennstromDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
