Pictures of iPod nano with camera re-emerge
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersAppleiPod nano 6gen
Last year a number of leaks and photos suggested that Apple had a redesigned iPod nano with an integrated camera in the works. The new device wasn’t released last time Apple refreshed its iPod family, but now another round of pictures has surfaced that lends credence to the possibility that such a device may launch in the near future. The images show a camera-equipped iPod nano complete with its signature clip design, and the device appears to be the same size as the current-generation iPod nano. It remains unclear if Apple will ever release an iPod nano with a camera but the source, Apple.pro, has published early details surrounding Apple hardware in the past that ended up panning out.

Whited00r lets you install iOS 5 look-alike on old-gen iPhones and iPod Touches
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersAppleiPhoneiPod touch 2geniPod touch
If you're still rockin' an ancient iPhone or iPod Touch and are fed up with friends teasing you at every chance with their new-style multitasking and reminder features, we've got some good news for you. A new software, dubbed Whited00r, will let you install portions of iOS 5 on the first two generations of the iPod Touch, iPhone 3G and even your O.G. iPhone. Whited00r accomplishes this by simply acting as a custom firmware -- à la CyanogenMod 9 on Android handsets. There are, however, a few traits that devs haven't been able to mimic, which include core services like the App Store (though, you can install apps via iTunes on your home machine), Notification Center and iCloud. So, for those of...

iPhones, iPod Touches still on iOS 3.1.3 can't download new apps directly from the App Store
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersOperating SystemsTabletsApple
While fragmentation is a rare(r) problem on iOS there's still quite a few users rocking older versions on their devices. Unfortunately for them, ever since a recent update on the 16th they haven't been able to download any new apps from the App Store straight to their devices. While users of older iPod Touches and iPhones stuck on 3.1.3 by choice or incompatibility with newer OSes can still update the apps they already have and transfer software from iTunes on a computer, they can't buy or install new ones directly from the device. We were able to confirm the issue on one of our own devices, while there's a pretty lengthy thread in Apple's support forum about the issue, but no official respo...

New 'first-gen' iPod nano replacements now shipping
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersAppleiPod nano 5gen
Apple is now shipping replacement iPod nanos to customers who had Nanos from a certain batch in the first-generation production run that have been shown to have defective batteries that could, in rare circumstances, overheat or even catch fire. The new units are exactly the same as the replacements, and not brand new iPod nanos (which now hold 8GB or 16GB) as some had hoped. The original Nanos came in 1, 2 or 4GB capacities.
The replacement units are likely refurbished on the inside but include new shells and new batteries. They are otherwise identical to the original units, which debuted in late 2005 and replaced the iPod mini. They were quickly replaced with a second-generation version a y...

The iPod turns 10, celebrates a decade of destroying physical media
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersAppleiPod
It's hard to believe, but it's been exactly ten years since the iPod was first unveiled, ultimately changing the music industry forever. The iPod wasn't the first, it wasn't the smallest, it didn't have the largest hard drive, but it did have an iconic style and simple to use interface that led march away from CDs. When the history of Apple is written the iPod (perhaps more than the iMac, OS X or the iPhone) will be credited with helping spearhead the company's second coming. Over the years the music player has seen countless iterations and redesigns, and an expansion of the product line to include smaller devices and touch screens -- but for most it's the scroll wheel and white earbuds that...

iPod touch still maxes out at 64GB / $399, available in white October 12th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersAppleiPod touch 4gen
While the iPhone 4S takes the headlines with its dual antennas and upgraded processor, we also have a new white iPod touch joining the family. Pricing for the "#1 portable game player" (Apple's words, with some numbers to back them up) still starts at $199 for the 8GB version, going up $399 for a 64GB. All will be available in black or white October 12th. There's no hardware changes to speak of, so hopefully all those sweet iOS 5 upgrades are enough to hold you. Check out the full details in our live blog or in the press release, conveniently available after the break.

Apple's iPod nano now $149 for 16GB and $129 for 8GB (update: 2010 nanos get the goodies too)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersAppleiPod nano 6gen
Apple keeps coming with the news from its "Let's talk iPhone" event, and the latest is a price drop for its diminutive PMP, the nano. From now on, you'll be forking over $129 for an 8GB version and $149 for twice the tunage space. Additionally, Cupertino's tossing in big icons -- as opposed to the grid of 4 that was the only option previously -- 16 new clocks (Mickey Mouse included!) to go with all those fabulous watch accessories, and workout tracking abilities right out of the box so you no longer need a Nike+ shoe dongle to see how many calories you've burned. Not bad for a little guy, eh? Full PR after the break.

Apple patent application imagines iPhones that learn the sweet sound of your voice
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersTabletsApple
Button-loathing Apple really wants people to stop dirtying its devices with sticky fingerprints. That's why it's applied for a patent that should improve the frustrating experience of using iOS's voice control -- precisely the kind of update we've been awaiting since Apple bought Siri last year. With the help of a technology billed as "User profiling for voice input processing," your device would identify your voice, check against a library of words associated with you without having to trawl through its entire dictionary. We just hope Apple doesn't do away with physical inputs entirely -- we'd hate to broadcast to the world all the guilty pleasures we have loaded on our iPods.

Pioneer AppRadio car-interface for iPhone comes crashing in
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersCar Head UnitsApple
Much like Ford's MyFord Touch and SYNC AppLink system we covered a few months back, Pioneer is hoping to jump on the trend of the connected car by introducing a new system that allows iPhone and iPod content to be controlled on the dashboard of your car.
Called the Pioneer AppRadio, it integrates into your dashboard allowing you to use and control your apps such as Google Maps, YouTube and your calendar directly through the screen. This is aided with a hi-res, WVGA 6.1-inch capacitive multi-touch screen.

New iPod nano will be the Perfect Companion for the iPhone 5?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersAppleiPhone 4s
The focus of attention of upcoming Apple products is clearly on the iPhone 5. Apple might pull though another very interesting product out of their hat this fall. The new 2011 iPod nano could become a multipurpose companion device for your iPhone 5. 9to5Mac dives into this topic with a lengthy article. Apple is into low-power Bluetooth 4.0 right now, which would be key to enable a new iPod nano to communicate with a new iPhone. The new iPod nano could display SMS, Tweets and Facebook updates on your wrist or wherever you attach it.
