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.

Everyone knew this and we expected this . Apple iPhone version 2 should come out somewhere in July and August. And Apple keeping our acknowloging our expectations is all set to lauch the Apple iPhone 3G on July 11.

It is also assumed that the 3G iPhone will no longer be available at a fixed price point—at least in some countries, and its launch will also bring new sales policies, although these have not been completely specified yet.

Being the unbeatable phone in Europe(last 12 months statistics) it is most probable that the new 3G iPhone will be integrated in the usual marketing systems of carriers, discounts for carrier switchers and other service-based subvention package. This might boost the sale.

The eyebrow rising features, sleek look, new functionality are just what we expected it should be. But selling at $100 is just a resemblance of what we say Apple getting into the masses. The iPhone is huge sucess for Apple as as the iPod was and Apple makes it cheaper to all.

Apple Rolled out an Update for the famous Quicktime Player.The update is available for Windows (22.67MB), Leopard (56MB), Tiger (52.8MB), and Panther (51.39MB), as Apple blatantly disregards the needs of users still using Jaguar, Puma, and Cheetah.

If you are looking for some updates regarding the new Player add-ons. Apple got its own legacy of the weird change log with “QuickTime 7.5 improves application compatibility and addresses security issues.”

Apparently this release fixes five QuickTime vulnerabilities, including, but not limited to, a number of issues bridging from maliciously crafted media and image files to arbitrary code execution.

You can update either by Apple Software update or download from their download page.

This isn’t a official release but this is what we can expect in the SDK kit Apple announced few weeks ago. The game Raging Thunder is a typical racing game and has decent graphics with the accelerometer serving as the wheel. This game looks good.

A game already was demonstrated on iPhone and it clearly showed with some more advancements in developing, a good game with decent graphics can easily be made. It is presumed, Apple’s iPhone can give a closer feel to Wii games and with some more work with the SDKs this can be accomplished soon.
