Apple cuts down prices for iPod Touch and iPod Nano

<Category: Apple, iPod> 2 Comments

Apple has reduced the prices on the iPod line up right before the Rock and Roll event today on 9/9/9. These prices actually make the 32GB iPod Touch cheaper than the 32GB Zune HD so there goes one of the advantages the iPod Touch competitor had. The price change have only been visible in the US Apple Store so far. At the time of writing, the Apple Store is down, probably for new product updates that will go live after the event.

<Category: Apple, iPod> No comment

Pictures of the upcoming iPod Touch 3G and iPod Nano 5G have already been leaked online thanks to a third party iPod case maker as reported by CNET. The camera in the new iPod Touch is clearly visible but the dimensions and designs don’t look any different from the current gen iPod Touch. On the other hand, the iPod Nano shows a similar design to the current generation iPod Nano but with a few differences and a camera. It still looks as slim as ever. In a few hours the new iPods will be unveiled, so we’ll know for sure if these leaked pictures are 100% correct or not.

No Nike + iPod for iPhone 3G

<Category: iPhone> 3 Comments

No Nike   iPod for iPhone 3G Strange but true. The second generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano were the first to get the Nike + iPod integration. The new iPhone 3G S also has it. You’d expect iPhone 3G to have gotten it as well. But, even though it has the capabilities to work with it, it’s locked out.
