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?

It’s been mentioned at Mashable, that it looks like Gmail’s storage will soon look to be evolving into a major competitor for sites that are currently offering free / cheap online file and multimedia storage. I mean, why shouldn’t it? With at least 2.8 GBs of free space in everyone’s mailbox just to store attachments and 1.0 GB for photos and pics, its no wonder why users like viksoe.dk have created tiny tweaks to make Gmail’s storage more accessible, as if it was a “real” online file storage system.
With Google’s new storage system being brought together, space from Gmail and Picasa can be further maximised, users who desire a more premium service can go for a checkout to purchase more space. Get addition 6 GB for $20.00 per year, 25 GB for $75.00 per year, etc…
With all this space available via Google’s services (even before a paid upgrade), might one of the first services to possibly increase their free storage space be Microsoft’s Skydrive (Beta)?

Here is the latest in fashion accessories for the iPod Shuffle in Japan, it seems to follow the design of school bags which many Japanese primary school children use. This piece of accessory though has a bigger price tag than most iPod protective cases you would buy, it’s been claimed to be a perfect fit and is certainly a more attractive and competitive casing over ones you would be able to find on eBay for example.
