Belkin Rockstar is a new way for music lovers to mix and share music with their friends. The RockStar is a unique six-port hub that connects a combination of MP3 players or ipods and headphones. Multiple MP3 players/audio devices can be connected to the hub, sharing the audio from each source simultaneously with multiple headphone ports, and letting users hear either a single song, or multiple songs mixed together. While one of the ports is input-only, with a built-in wired connector, the other five can be toggled between input and output.

Priced at $19.99, it will be available from March 2008 in the US and from April 2008 in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

What I can’t understand is why would someone want to mix music from multiple music players, but I guess the kids these days have their own crazy reasons .

After a series of events that have been suggesting the end for HD-DVD, major announcements from Warner and Wal-Mart have most definitely laid the red carpet for Blu-Ray to lead us into the future.

In a shocker in January, Blu-Ray grabbed 93% market share over HD-DVD compared to 51% it had just a week ago. This is the result of announcements from Wal-Mart to officially discontinue HD-DVD sales from June and Warner announcing to go exclusively Blu-Ray. And Paramount too is looking to use an exit clause in its HD-DVD exclusivity agreement to switch over to the Blu-Ray camp.

And finally, The Ultimate Sign?: Toshiba which had nurtured and propagated HD-DVD has been gearing up to spell the end for its baby. If that is not enough there are even rumors that Toshiba is trying its hand at making Blu-Ray devices.
