The new iPod Nano is nothing to sneeze at... really!  Just when I thought the Nano series has hit a brick wall in development, it has made a come back... a whopping comeback.  Kudos to Steve Jobs and his hard-working team.  I really thought that the iTouch series has taken over.  But it really is a product where it still makes a firm territory of its own. What territory is that you say?  I believe the iPod Nano and iPod Touch are quite similar in a lot of sense... but one things where it's not is... SIZE and PORTABILITY. The iPod Nano is still a class of its own.  Forget the iPod Shuffle as it is ...

  JVC recently released this double iPod charger/station, complete with great speakers, FM radio and a strip of buttons to make sure you have total control.  The new JVC NX-PN7, now available, accommodates two iPod players side-by side, charging them simultaneously and offering playback from each through the dock's speaker system.

Ok, first thing that flashed in my mind "Why didn't I invent this!".  Such a cool concept from Japanese designer Yuta Watanabe.  He calls this as the "peg pencil".  It's his version of a mechanical pencil made of spring activated (and re-modified) clothe's pin.  You can all see most of his recent work on his website http://www.yutawatanabe.com/.  Really creative work showcasing the Japanese creative mind. Ayayay!  I wonder how Yuta thought of the peg pencil.  I am arround clothe pins all my life and yet it has never come across to me that this can morph into something really cool.  Step up for Yuta and loud high-fives. Anyway, back to tech stuff.  Did you know that ...

If you're looking to unlock all firmware versions of the iPhone (including the current 1.1.3 version), a new Website will lend a helping hand - for $27.50US, £14.00 or 18.70 Euros. The iPhone unlocking software gets the job done in under 10 minutes and each purchase includes video instructions on getting the deed done. No matter where in the world you're located, you'll be able to use any type of GSM SIM, maximize the iPhones iPod capabilities, receive RSS Feeds, use your client chat interface, and browse the Web via WiFi. Given AT&T's service track record in my neck of the woods, the ability to use an iPhone on any network worldwide is appealing (this method will NOT work on Verizon).  ...

I've been subscribing to podcasts for the past 6 months and to tell you frankly, they have become part of my daily to do's.  I used to follow cable TV schedules so I can watch specific segments of CNN and BBC news, but now, I just hit the refresh button on iTunes and watch them when I want to.  It has been very easy to follow what's happening with the rest of the world thru podcasts, like those from CNN's "Anderson Cooper's 360" and "In case you missed it". I think I have about 30+ podcast subscriptions I download on my Dell Inspiron 8600 (yes I still have a Dell Inspiron 8600, but that's another story!).  Varied podcasts from Larry King ...

A tale of two worlds: The guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a cult member no less): "I knew it!  I knew it!  It was worth the wait. (motions to do the macarena geeky dance).  Where's my plastic?  Oh there you are!  Come here you... come here you... aahhhh.... let's go to the apple store you and I. (winks at his card, and hippity-hops out the door).  From a distance, he shouts 'I LOVE YOU STEVE JOBS!' ".Now the guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a high ranking cult member, an early adopter definitely):"Noooooooo!!!  Why did you do it!  I trusted you... (and in an eeny meeny voice) I loved you! (squeeky whimper). Whyyyyy!!! Back to reality:News news news. ...

Griffin is turning out to be a little Apple. The company has been churning out really cool looking items that make you want to buy them the moment you see them. They might have a little Jonathan Ive at their employ. Anyway, one of Griffin's cool looking gadgets will now be shipped to stores. The Evolve is an iPod dock/speaker set that is one of the best looking I've seen in years. As mentioned, it is both an iPod Dock and also a charging station for the two speakers. The cool thing about the Evolve is that after charging, the speakers can be detached from the, ehem, "mother unit" and it will crank up sounds from ...

(My apologies for the title; I did not want to upset anybody with yet another iPhone article, or so some might think if I used the iPhone word) Now that the immaculate phone of multiple facets is finally out the door, we can finally start looking into the next generation of iPods, like any true Apple fanboy. Apple is a company with the most extreme of marketing strategies and generally play its cards close to the chest. And while they never had a history of making product announcements until they are made available on that same day, last Friday's events will certainly go down as the release date for another product that's been pre-announced (oh, how times have changed) - and ...

It seems the most unlikely products want to be iPod-compatible. That's how powerful the Apple iPod brand has become: it's now a selling point for companies wanting a little boost in their sales. Here are just some of the examples of products that have made it a point to please the MP3 player giant: Pause: iPod-Compatible Bed The Pause by Design Mobel is the world's first bed that lets you play your iPod with it. They also call it the "world's most comfortable iPod Dock". Photo from DesignMobel.co.nz See also: Lomme, another iPod-friendly bed with a futuristic feel.
