“Who Would Have Guessed???” Unbelievable Breaking News

Just like everything else in our country, new news about the iPod Touch 4G and the iPod Nano 6G, came from China. Early morning on Friday the 27th. They are actually selling the cases for the new iPods there already! (It seems like this happens every year) Ok so there were actually two photos that surfaced, one was a iPod Nano and iPod Touch case and one was a iPod Nano prototype. They are posted in that order below.

Lets start with the iTouch case. This case shows us that the iPod Touch will definitely have a more flat back but it WILL NOT resemble the back of the iPhone. It will actually look more like the First Generation Back. Also, the iPods back surface WILL NOT be the same as the iPhones, that is just the smart thing to do on apple’s part. The back will most likely be stainless steel or aluminum. Then Back of the device WILL have a camera. But there is ALOT of argument about if there is going to be a LED flash or a integrated microphone. The microphone would be the smart choice for video recording and chatting but apple could definitely use no microphone and keep the headphones with it built in for a business scheme. We all CANNOT wait for the Music Event.

As for the iPod Nano or as it has been called “the iWatch”, this is just…i guess too good to be true. The screen is the size of the the 2nd Generation iPod Nano screen. The extremely small screen is actually a touch screen! But, I really do not think that apple would take the video camera off of there Nano. Maybe they will leave the Nano alone and do nothing but memory changes and make this a new lineup, like the iWatch or something. There is going to be a clip on the back but according to sources, this is NOT and iPod Shuffle. The clip is most likely going to be able to clip to a band so the iPod can be used as a watch. Great idea, but is the world really ready for something they saw in late 90’s sci-fi films? So this is just so out there that I don’t think it’s something Apple would do quite yet. But apple has done complete 360’s before so this may be the same. As I say a lot, if apple goes thru with this device, it will be the “next big thing” and will revolutionize the mp3 player business.

Lastly, all this amazing gear Is confirmed to be introduced on September 1st. That’s right! The Apple Music Event is 8 days earlier this year and only five days from now! You can watch the event on the Apple website after it takes place. The invitational picture is on the left and usually includes some clue for this years event. But for some reason I don’t think Apple is going to be releasing any guitars (Sarcasm:).

Apple Rumored To Release New iPad and Newly Introduced Multi-touch Monitor???

 ios41_devices-540x136

Information about apple was leaked last weekend. Apple is rumored to be testing their iOS4 software on new products. I know the above picture is a little hard to understand but this is how large companies hide their upcoming hardware. But i can narrow it down for you, the first entry in the first column is “iPod4,1”. The the comma is a way to confuse people, it really is a decimal point. So that entry is “iPod4.1”. Write now the iPod Touch is running software 4.0 while this is only a list of hardware they most likely have something in common. So that entry is actually the plan for the iPod Touch 4. I am going to go off the subject a little bit but like a lot of you I am curious what the price of the new iPod Touch 4 is going to be. Hopefully this chart will sum it up:

1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation 4th Generation
8GB-$299 8GB-$229 8GB-$199 ????????????
16GB-$399 16GB-$299 32GB-$299 ????????????
No Higher GB 32GB-$399 64GB-$399 ????????????

This is where I get stumped because the camera will not work without iOS4 and iOS4 will not work on 8GB. So either Apple brings back the 16GB or they bring the price of 32GB down to $229 and they either add a 120GB or leave the specs at only 2 sizes. Only time will tell.

Now lets go back to the point of this post :)

Now, the first entry in the second column says “iProd2,1”. Now this most likely is the code for the the iPad 2.1. This is actually pretty definite because apple’s hardware sheet last year actually said iProd1,1. While the current iPad’s are only 6 months old, apple is definitely eager to release a new one. The first version of a product is kind of the “tester”, this is true with the iPad, The Droid, iPod Nano, Touch and so much more. The current iPad is missing a lot…maybe not in the consumers eyes but most definitely in apples. Personally i would love an android option on the new iPad but that is not some apple would even consider. But the features that are more than likely are:

  • Retina Display
  • Front and Back Camera
  • Facetime
  • Smaller Screen Size
  • If apple releases a smaller sized iPad then a different outer body is likely

Now the first entry on the third column is named “UnknownHardware”, we now know what this unknown hardware is. The rumors about a multi-touch monitor being released by apple are now growing. There isn’t much to say about it but it would be the same sizes as the iMac monitors and work the same as a iPod Touch or or iPhone but with a Mac interface and software. But the question still lingers with me why they haven't made one already! Apple is usually a step ahead of every other electronic company but most of the other computer companies already have made one, now while these units didn’t do very great sales wise, apple usually takes care of that will immediate release of better versions. But maybe they don’t want to take the risk and stick with there rising selling Macs and iPhones.

Theories on iPod Touch 4

 145719-ipodtouch4a_500
The new iPod Touch 4 has a retina display just like the iPhone 4. Also has 960X640 display qualifying for an ultimate video and gaming experience. It comes in 3 sizes, 16GB 32GB 64BG. Pricing at $199 $299 $399, the Touch was designed to be the best MP4 player in the market today. The integrated microphone makes voice control and voice memos easier and more convenient. Genius mixed are automatically made ipodtouch_camera_july2and added to your playlists based on your music library. With the drop of the 8GB it makes it possible for all of our iPod Touch models run the same abilities so there is no inconvenience to consumers. The iPod touch 4, has revolutionized, the MP4 player business, apple has a integrated 5 mega-pixel video/still camera not only in the back of the device but we have also added a camera to the front that is behind the black fiber glass and is almost not visible. There are facetime abilities on the new iPod Touch that works thru your email address apple account. The new body of the iPod is different compared to older models but very similar to the iPhone 4.


145717-ipodtouch4b_500 Sorry for the false hope but the above was just a “wish list” for the new iPod Touch being released next month. I highly doubt the iTouch will be made to this extent but once it is released we will repost this and highlight everything that did actually happen so lets keep our fingers crossed that in September the paragraph above will be a big yellow blob!
The retina and high resolution display is likely to happen but the picture will most likely not be as good as the iPhone because apple would not want to intervene with there rising iPhone sales. The same goes for the 5MP camera (most likely around 3.2 megapixels), the integrated microphone and the template design. The integrated microphone is likely not to happen because apple is making to much money with the separate $60 dollar headphones/microphone/controls to do that. But we never know what tricks apple will have up there sleeves so all we can really do is wait and hope that the iTouch 2010 will not be a disappointment like last year.
