, Aug 26th 2010 Discuss [0]

When pictures show up of a new Apple product, it tends to get people in a frenzy. Even if they are, just like in this case, just the outline of the device. With these new cases, the sixth generation iPod Nano and fourth generation iPod Touch are supposedly revealed. No, you don't get to see what the gadgets actually look like, but you do get to see what it would look like to have a very colorful case on them. Read The Full Story

11.6″ MacBook Air refresh tipped for September, plus clickwheel-free iPod nano

, Aug 6th 2010 Discuss [0]

Apple's now venerable MacBook Air currently languishes as the notebook most in need of an update, and so it comes as little surprise to hear that just such a refresh may be imminent.  According to BMO analyst Keith Bachman, Apple's supply chain is ramping up for what he believes to be a September launch; interestingly, he also expects the new MacBook Air to start off significantly cheaper than the current model's $1,499 base price.

Multifunction Devices and Teens

, Jul 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Multitasking is a huge concept for devices today. The idea of a single use, single feature device is becoming increasingly rare. Today, the lines are really blurring in technology – between mobile and desktop devices, between phones and media players, between TVs and computers. Even alarm clocks have WiFi built in. And especially among teenagers, the idea of multipurpose, connected devices is becoming more and more important.

For teenagers, one of the most important concept of our lives is being connected to each other – we like being in touch with all our social circles, be it for friends around the corner from school to friends across the globe. Media, entertainment, and pictures are also huge features – consider the huge importance of music, movies, video games, and Facebook albums in today’s world. And in portable devices especially it’s become more and more critical to have these features to ensure that you appeal to teens.

, Nov 27th 2009 Discuss [0]

It's the day after Thanksgiving and that means Black Friday sales in the US.  We're already hearing that parking spaces outside US malls are full up - and it's only just gone 4am on the east coast - so if it's cut-price Apple tech you're after then why not do your shopping online?  As is somewhat traditional by now, Apple have discounts across various parts of their store today: save just over $100 on a new iMac, for instance, or the same off a MacBook Pro.

Apple report latest finances: Mac sales & margins up, iPod touch sales double

, Oct 20th 2009 Discuss [0]

Apple have announced their fiscal Q4 2009 financial results, and it's been another successful three months for the company.  Anybody suggesting that Apple's tactics of selling relatively few expensive devices (rather than many cheap ones) will have some explaining to do in the face of these latest figures: Mac sales are up around 17-percent from the same period one year ago, while gross margin is up 36.6-percent.  That's helped the company reach $9.87bn in revenue, of which $1.67bn is profit (compared to $1.14bn profit in Q4 2008). After the cut, slumping iPod sales and the promise of "really great new products" by Steve Jobs Read The Full Story

iPod nano 5G camera falls foul of gym blacklists

, Sep 23rd 2009 Discuss [0]

Apple's iPod nano 5G has impressed plenty of reviewers (and will likely find favor with even more buyers, too) but gym owners are less enamored.  With the arrival of the nano's video camera, the PMP has found itself on the blacklist for some gym changing rooms, over fears that patrons may use image- and video-capable devices to surreptitiously grab shots of each other.

Fiio E1 iPod headphone amp spotted

, Sep 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

There's a compact band of loyal headphone-amp users who swear by the audio-tastic qualities of some external amplification, so it comes as no great surprise that manufacturer Fiio are attempting to jump onto the iPod gravy-train.  The Fiio E1 plugs directly into the docking connector of an iPod or iPhone and not only offers in-line remote controls but the sort of headphone boost that can drive high-end cans or simply help more mainstream models shine.

iPod nano 5G Video Review

, Sep 14th 2009 Discuss [3]

Apple’s traditional September iPod event last week failed to deliver the all-encompassing camera update widely predicted, leaving the compact fifth-generation iPod nano as recipient of the most attention.  With video recording capabilities, a new radio and even a pedometer, the nano 5G certainly has a longer spec-sheet; has it managed to do what Steve Jobs predicted, though, and stomp neatly over the Flip camcorder?  SlashGear set to finding out.

iPod nano 5G gets teardown

, Sep 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

If there's one thing you can count on - beyond third-party accessories - it's that as soon as a new iPod hits the shelves, it'll be torn down to its component parts.  iFixit have already begun to strip the camera-toting iPod nano 5G out of its glossy shell and down to bare circuit-boards, and even if chip codes and DACs mean nothing to you there's something scandalously exciting about watching it happen.

, Sep 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

We can blame cases for tipping off the iPod nano 5G's camera, and now that Apple have made the PMP official the accessory manufacturers can go to town.  Scosche are one of the first with the kickBACK n5, a nifty polycarbonate shell with rubber edges and a flip-out kick-stand for enjoying tiny videos on the nano 5G's 2.2-inch display.
