Apple’s fourth-generation iPod Nano returns to the original long, light, and slender formula that put the series on the map. Offered in an attractive range of nine colors for both the 8GB iPod Nano ($149) and 16GB iPod Nano ($199) models, Apple has again refreshed the entry in Mp3 Market.

The new iPod is light and thin, with a seamless metal construction that prevents it from snapping ,curved design gives the Nano 4G the essence of an airplane wing, repeating the rounded design themes of Apple’s iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod Touch.

Apple has flipped the Nano’s screen on its side, menus and user interface get a dramatic change compared to Earlier Model. Menu text size has increased slightly and album cover art takes up less real estate on the main menu. In a bid to increase the accessibility of the Nano for people with impaired vision, Apple has included a font size setting on the fourth-generation Nano that makes its menus more legible.

All the features remain the Same as in Earlier versions. A new Genius feature is added which lets you create an instant playlists based around the musical characteristics of a single song. Easy to use and makes listening to music via iPod more interesting. The fourth-generation iPod Nano also adds the same tilt-sensor found in the iPhone and iPod Touch, which allows for some interesting control tricks. Giving the iPod Nano a vigorous shake, for instance, puts the music player into shuffle mode.

As stated by Apple, the battery life expectations for video playback has lowered from 5 hours to 4 hours, maintaining the same 24-hour mark for music playback.

Solving the heating issues of XBOX 360, Lian-Li has launched the PC-XB01 chassis replacement for the console. This would solve many heating issues as well as lift up the performance. Some technical knowledge required to install this chasis.

The chassis comes with rear system fan [ 120mm ( 1500 RPM) ]. The dimensions being 160 x 250 x 415mm (W, D, H)  the chassis has huge aluminum ducts for better cooling. The case also supports water-cooling with pipe holes. The power transformer has to be attached from the outside since the chassis is designed to fit the Xbox 360 internals.

Xbox 360 optical drive has been relocated away from the main heat generating components, allowing more airflow across the graphics chipset. This is also convenient if the user wants to change the cooler, or install water cooling.

Special sound insulation foam sheeting around the Optical drive reduces the mechanical noises from vibration of spinning disks. There are aluminum dust covers for the front connectors to protect the connector. The Optical drive has a spring loaded dust cover to keep the aesthetic appeal. Now this looks cool but those who have XBOX skins on their consoles will loose everything.
