A Danish interest post..
www.netlydbog.dk is a cool new initiative by Danish libraries, it offer the opportunity to download from a central database of Danish audiobooks, the download is limited to be playable for 30 days (via MS DRM) – but you can ‘renew’ your license at any time.
PLUS; Free, collection is growing (not fast, but its up to 250-300 books by now)
MINUS; no Ipods (solution uses WMA with DRM), but use Tunebite (thanks to Jesper for the tip) http://tunebite.com/en/remove_drm/index.html to strip the DRM and you are back in business. A somewhat limited collection, but that will change.
Cool initiative, a must see for all Danes.
Atlas it would seem that the Iphone will find its way to Danish consumers, according to Business.dk – Berlingske (a Danish newspaper) Telia has landed an agreement with Apple regarding distribution of the Iphone in Denmark.

This has however not stopped 8000 Danes in getting hold of an Iphone through alternate distribution channels, a quick search of www.qxl.dk also reveals several Iphones up for sale. These versions are/needs to be ’jailbroken’ (buildin security lock bypassed) in order to be used in Denmark, and the price for being an ‘early’ user is skyhigh approx US$ 890.
There is no release date announced by Telia regarding their upcomming Danish launch.

Be careful what you have on your laptop when entering the USA, the security checks are no longer limited to your physical goods, according to the Danish online magazine ComOn.DK quite a lot of people have had to hand over their passwords to their laptops, in order for the Security personnel at the US airports to search their computers.
Disturbing is the only word I can think of.

We all know the issue, we have a lot of digital pictures and would love to share them with friends and family. However making the nice menus and uploading is complex, requires different software etc etc. hence it never gets done..
Not anymore, Gallery Mage is a very simple yet powerful utility to deal with this issue. It can create thumbnails, html preview and upload the resulting files directly to your website (via ftp) or to a directory which you can burn directly to a cd/dvd or upload to a web-site manually..
It does not get much simpler than this 
Besides being free its even compatible with many open source “online gallery portals” (like coppermine etc) so you can use your existing ‘gallery portal’ if you already use one..
