Here’s some news about a soon to arrive video / mp3 player to look out for, SanDisk’s latest version of Sansa View!
Following the news about the launch of redesigned new iPods and iPod Touch, SanDisk decided it was also time to tell the world about their newly improved media players. The new Sansa Views has been redesigned with a new 2.4-inch, 320×240 pixels screen, if you can recall the old Sansa View which was abit chubby both in size and thickness, this new one will instead be more comfortable to hold in the palm of your hands.
The new Sansa View will support video formats like MPEG4, WMV and H.264, it will also come bundled with a converter software, allowing you to convert DivX formats for viewing.
As you can see in the pic above, at just 0.35″ thin, it will be a convenient handheld media player / device, along with a battery that SanDisk has claimed to be able to last up to 7 hours of video play and 35 hours of music play.
Additionally, the new Sansa View will be available in 8 Gb and 16 Gb. Although it isn’t available to the UK yet, based on its pricing, what you pay for a 8 Gb Sansa View will only get you a 4 Gb Apple iPod, which is about $149 USD, equivalent to approximately £73 pounds.

Just over the weekend I read some exciting news off Gadgettastic regarding some leaked details of the Apple iPhone’s soon to come launch. As seen in the ad below (read in German I believe), iPhone is due to arrive Germany by November 12, “Das Kulthandy aus den USA endlich in Deutschland”, probably reads something like “the mobile phone as seen in USA to arrive in Germany”. Why Germany? As we mentioned previously in one of our posts, T-Mobile will be the sole carrier to bring the Apple iPhone to Germany, while other countries of the EU like France will be brought by Orange, click here to revisit that post.
As seen in the ad, the iPhone will come in a 16Gb version, along side a 2-megapixel camera, it will be a 3G phone (HSDPA)! The handset will be retailed at about £340, while tariff packages that will go with the iPhone will vary from £33 to £46 which isn’t terribly expensive comparing to what we normally use here in the UK. However, whether these prices and the launch date of iPhone in the EU will be ‘sync-ed’ with that of the UK still remains unknown…

Found a post about a $5000 ThinkPad Reserve Edition leather laptop currently on sale, apart from having a leather exterior, the mechanics inside are just your average specs. 160 Gb hard drive, 2 Gb memory, 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, DVD writer and a 12.1″ screen. Would you consider buying this laptop? (it’s special! :] )

The new iPod has been spoken about in everyone’s conversation here in the UK, 
Apple this and iPod Touch that…woh…we britons are just as addicted to Apple as any other nation after all. 
I realise its already been in the press, in the news on tv and you readers out there probably know more about then i do! But ok, it doesn’t matter, this will just be a quick post with lots of cool pics and some main specs about the new iPod Touch.
So it turns out Apple will finally be launching an iPod with touch screen and WiFi, the new iPod will be equipped with a hi-resolution 3.5″ screen, Safari web browser, with its internet connectivity, users will also be able to directly download music via iTunes. The new iPod Touch does not have any buttons, music controls, everything is simply based on control via its touchscreen. However, if you’ve read up to this point, you may probably realise there is really nothing more to the new iPod Touch that iPhone doesn’t already have, except for the phone bit.
If you were to hold the iPod Touch, you will notice that it is thinner (8mm) in comparison to the iPhone, may be that is the main difference! In terms of pricing, iPod Touch will be expected to arrive the UK (and worldwide) by the end of the month. Roughly speaking, the 8 Gb version will cost approx. £150.00, while the 16 Gb will be £200.00.
If you haven’t seen the new iPod Touch’s ‘guided tour’ video, here’s your chance now:

Enough reading, have a look at these pics for a sec and see what the real thing looks like:
More on the new Apple iPod Touch and new Apple iPod Nano and Classic after the break…
The pics below show the concept idea of a new upcoming multimedia device designed by Danilo Mangini called the “Lobster”. Strange look? Maybe so, but the name describes it fairly well, the segmented pieces of each module makes it easily recognisable as a lobster’s tail.
As you can see in one of the pics above, the “Lobster” isn’t just an mp3 player, it has quite alot of different ‘attachable’ functions too. The LCD screen in the middle acts as a base for the variety of modules that are plugged in, like cardiometer, etc…
Personally I think this concept is very unique, once this device gets on sell, people could separately buy new independent modules of their choice, kind of like getting add-on extensions for your Firefox browser 
, an idea maybe?

Ok, I’d hate to blog any bad news about the iPhone, especially just after having written a post celebrating the iPhone’s unlock. But this is actually quite serious, as you may already know, the iPhone is not like any other cell phone / mobile phone… the batteries do not pop out when it falls on the floor, the casing does not fall apart everywhere like you would expect with a normal cell phone (like the picture to the left), at least not usually.
This is what makes it so unique, however, in return there is a price to pay. Because the iPhone’s battery cannot be taken out and replaced by a new one, its quite obvious that your iPhone’s unique power source will die someday and along with it goes your iPhone…
To ‘help’ you prepare for this holy day, PCMAG has created an iPhone Death Watch. Given that your iPhone’s every functionality depends heavily on its battery, it was actually quite simple to setup a formula to calculate when exactly in terms of ‘after how many charges’ your iPhone will hit the bin.
Read on after the jump…
