Just like the new generation of iPod nano was announced earlier this morning, so do we have news of a new iPod touch as well, pushing the device into the third generation. One thing that would disappoint most people about this would be the lack of a built-in digital camera after being hyped up about it through various rumors and fan sites over the past weeks and months, but guess there is always the anticipation of seeing said integrated digital camera make an appearance sometime in the future with the fourth iteration of the iPod touch. What’s cooking with this generation of iPod touch? We’ll take a closer look at it right after the jump.
Apple releases new iPod touch

September 9th, 2009 by Edwin in Apple News, iPod gadgets
So the yearly cycle continues, with yet another iPod being updated this time round. Apple’s event at San Francisco saw the appearance of Steve Jobs to the masses, and it goes without saying the man had a hand in unveiling the latest iPod nano to the crowds, now in its fifth iteration. What makes the iPod nano so special this time round? Well, Apple has decided to throw in a video camera, a microphone and a speaker to what is already deemed as the most popular portable media player in the world, allowing music aficionados to shoot short video clips (limited by its memory, of course) regardless of where they are. These video clips can then be viewed over the computer after performing a quick and painless transfer, and further uploaded onto YouTube if you’re so inclined.

September 3rd, 2009 by Ally in Audio/Video Gadgets, Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear, iPod gadgets
There is never a shortage of various portable ways to charge the iPhone, mostly due to people being very unhappy with the battery life. However, for those of us using an iPod Touch, it seems like there are far less options. Which is bad for those like me that are notorious for forgetting to charge their iPod while they’re at home. This Surge case will help out those that are always on the run and always forgetting to plug in their iPod. It’ll make sure you can get a charge no matter where you’re at.
iHat
September 1st, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, iPod gadgets
Yes, there are a lot of iPod or other MP3 speakers out there, and most of them begin with “i”. I suppose what makes the iHat unique is the fact that it is seasonal.
Seasonal, meaning made for the winter season. It’s getting colder where I am living, and I could use a hat to keep warm. If the hat happens to have a speaker in each ear, then more power to it. Now if it was made to be wireless, I guarantee that every skier would want to wear one of these.
Speaker Bags Play Music from your iPod
August 28th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, iPod gadgets
I don’t know if Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are friends anymore, but if they ever do get together and hit Rodeo Drive, I highly recommend they tote around the speaker bags.
Yes, these speaker bags don’t just look like speakers, but they are speakers for iPods, and I would imagine iPhones. It brings out about 30 watts worth of power, which is enough to disturb the salespeople and other customers as the rich girls throw high-priced items into the bag itself.
Of course, I don’t know how much the bag can hold with the dock inside, but hey, it’s all about style, isn’t it? I do know that the dimensions are 46 x 12 x 11 centimeters. Now if only they would make this in pink. Rich heiress girls from Beverly Hills would be all over this. “Yeah, we love shopping with the speaker bag”.
Altec Lansing’s Expressionist Ultra and the MIX
August 28th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, PC Gadgets, iPod gadgets
I got a chance to see what Altec Lansing was up to at CES last January, and its nice to see that they are still innovative with two new products: the Expressionist Ultra and the MIX.
The Expressionist Ultra is the set of speakers that you see to the left. As you can see, they have a very unique shape and transparent trapezoidal frame for a look that should compliment any desk. The speakers have a 200 watt powerhouse with a 3 inch midrange driver and 1 inch neodymium tweeter. The Expressionist Ultra also has fingertip controls, Audio Alignment technology, a headphone jack, and connects with AUX in jack and RCA adapter.
The MIX, seen to the immediate left, is a combination of iPod dock and 80’s style boombox. It is perfect for DJs-in-training as it has three music player inputs, a 30 pin dock connector for the iPhone and iPod, as well as two front-facing 3.5mm jacks. It plays for 30 hours on 8 D-cell batteries and has Audio Alignment, a Digital FM radio, and Dual AUX IN jacks for two additional audio players via front-facing 3.5mm jacks.
Wiimote turned into MP3 player
August 24th, 2009 by Edwin in DIY Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, iPod gadgets
The Wiimote is one versatile piece of plastic, as an enterprising brain decided to pick its innards and replace it with the presence of an iPod Shuffle inside. Heck, even the case has been modified a bit to accommodate a pair of headphones, with the Shuffle residing comfortably within the confines of where the AA batteries are supposed to be. Definitely adding a whole lot more bulk to what was once an extremely portable MP3 player, this Wiimote hack will surely attract attention wherever you go.

iHome iHMP5 Series is both headphones and stereo speakers
August 20th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, iPod gadgets
Last time we covered something from iHome, it was their new iHM10B Portable MP3 Player Speaker System. Today is it is the iHMP5 Series, which is something that I have been seeing more and more of these days: a speaker system/headphone combo.
The iHMP5 Series is designed to work with all sorts of music players which include the iPhone, iPod, laptop, and just about anything that has a headphone jack. You put them on your head to enjoy the music in private, and put them down to share it with their friends. That sounds like the slogan for the product, doesn’t it? I actually made that up myself.
