Logitech's 2nd-gen Bluetooth headphones

Logitech today introduced its FreePulse Wireless headphones, its stylish second-generation cordless headphones for Apple's iPod and MP3 players. The new headphones "deliver the complete freedom of experiencing digital music with no strings attached," according to the compay. The FreePulse Wireless headphones are half the weight (only 2.1 ounces/60 grams) and size of Logitech’s first-generation product and are more flexible and durable, thanks to the high-carbon spring-steel headband. The new version delivers twice the performance as well as enhanced bass with its special bass boost feature and improved wireless performance with Bluetooth 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) wireless technology. The FreePulse Wireless headphones are expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October for $100. [image after jump]

Scandinavian iTunes talks progress

Negotiations between Apple and Scandinavian governments over iTunes restrictions have made "surprising progress," according to Norway's official consumer advocate. "Our meeting was much more constructive than I expected it would be," said Bjorn Erik Thon, director of the Norwegian Consumer Ombudsman's office. "We argued and did not agree on a lot, but we discussed all issues." A final resolution to the dispute may require Apple to change its iTunes business model in Norway as well as several other Scandinavian countries, according to the International Herald Tribune. Representatives from Sweden, Denmark, and Finland attended the meeting, all of which have laws similar to Norway to protect consumers, and all have agreed to follow Norway's lead.
