It’s always those darned case manufacturers giving things away. Latest to scoop Apple to their own announcement is Cygnett, who have thrown up product pages for both iPod touch G3 and iPod nano G5 models; the same models we’re expecting Apple to unveil later today. The iPod touch G3 case has a cut-out for the rumored camera, while the iPod nano G5 images show a much-elongated display.
Looking for a bargain? Not interested in (possibly) taking photos with your PMP? Apple are doing some shelf clearing with an impromptu price slash across their iPod touch range, with the 8GB dumped unceremoniously by $40 to $189.
This time tomorrow we’ll be cranking up the liveblog engine in preparation for Apple’s iPod event, set to kick off at 10AM PST in sunny San Francisco. SlashGear will be bringing you all the news from the event as it happens, courtesy of our automatically-updating liveblog system at http://live.slashgear.com/
We’re ramping up to run our usual liveblog of the Apple iPod event tomorrow in San Francisco – join us at 10am PST on Wednesday 9th at http://live.slashgear.com for all the news, as it’s announced – but could the company’s camera-toting iPods be conspicuous by their absence? According to Apple Insider, “technical difficulties” with the 3.2-megapixel camera modules believed to be integrated into the next-generation iPod touch, iPod nano and, potentially, iPod classic will see them delayed.
Did’t I just finish writing a week in review? That time again already? Ok, so here we go! Asus’ Eee netbook roadmap leaked this week showing us some of the new machines Asus has up its sleeves and tipping us off on the netbooks already on the market that will be going extinct soon. SanDisk got all official and stuff with a new low-end MP3 player called the Sansa Clip+. The thing gains a microSD card slot to accommodate that big bag of fail known as slotMusic.

When you find yourself out, going places and doing your day-to-day routines, do you ever find that your battery life on all your tech gadgets just doesn't seem to be cutting it? Maybe you wish you could have gotten an extra hour, thirty minutes, or even a handful of minutes just to get something done and out of the way. It looks like your worries are about to take a step to the wayside. Well, as long as you ride a bike.

There's a lot happening this month, but we're sure you're keeping good tabs on it all. And there's no chance you forgot about Apple's event coming next week, right? Of course not. But, just in case you weren't excited enough already, get ready to have those socks knocked right off your feet. That's right, it may be coming: MMS.
We’re waiting to see a toaster with an iPod dock at this point. Sony has unveiled a brand new set of PC speakers today, ones that the company believe are capable of “blowing all other PC speakers off the stage.” Bold words, but that’s what we’ve come to love about Sony over the years. They always have bold words. And they want bold people, with bold wallets, to go ahead and step on forward to take a peek at these new speakers, which have garnered a very auspicious title: muteki.
Just as expected, the invitation to Apple’s iPod event on September 9th has dropped into the SlashGear inbox, and that means we’re off to San Francisco to live-blog the whole thing. Already a tradition on the Apple calendar, the September music-themed event is the chance for the Cupertino company to show off their latest advances in the segment-dominating PMPs, and this time we’re expecting camera functionality to join the party.
We’re always keeping our eyes open for crazy contraptions, or gadgets as we like to call them, and usually that means we have to point our eyes across the ponds, to really find something of interest. This time around, we’ve struck gold. These speakers look like bags, and are even just as mobile as a bag, but we assure you: they aren’t.
