Microphone And Camera in the Next iPod Touch

The importance of this news is more than believed because of course if we combine the new iPod Touch with a microphone with a VoIP service like Skype or fringe, this is an entertainment gadget communication wherever connection WiFi. And, most importantly, the operators have no power over the iPod touch as to block this capability (it is also recalled that recently it was rumored that the next iPod Touch will have a much bigger screen).

After the appearance of the new iPhone 3GS many expected that Apple will also update iPod Touch but those hopes a little watered down when we found out that unlike the old iPhone 3G users, people who have an iPod touch should pay about 10 dollars to have the OS 3.0 … that was not a good sign by the people from Apple with respect to the device.

Wired But now a source reveals that “well connected” he assured them would be to get a new iPod Touch with a microphone and camera. Factories in China and Apple would be manufacturing the device and is expected to arrive in two or three months.

The truth would be a good move for Apple (especially competing in the segment of the tablets) because we would be talking about an iPod touch would be extremely useful to navigate with ease and know that the iPhone, take photos and enjoy free calls .

Sony Ericsson W890i Review

Bigger is really better with the Sony Ericsson W890i. Its got a pumped-up camera 3.2MP and is also 7 grams heavier and slightly wider about 2.5mm but disappears when you slip into your pocket.

The Good: Gorgeous brushed silver finish fit for a Terminator. Smooth and improved keypad. 2GB stick included. 3G. Decent sound recorder. Decent earbuds. Solid battery life. MusicDJ app lets you compose original ringtones on-the-go. A paused track holds its place, even after phone shuts down.

The Bad: Phone can’t take calls and won’t display caller ID during mass storage transfer or while connected via USB. The result: beaucoup missed calls! Camera needs a flash (yesterday!). Memory slot can’t be accessed without removing battery cover. No 3.5 mm jack. No wi-fi. Despite a near-perfect keypad, the tiny menu buttons can feel a little cramped. Radio only plays with headphones (i.e., no boombox’d NPR).

The Bottomline: The best improvement to the W890i is that it can swallow a 4GB stick, delivering twice the tuneage of the W880i.

The Bad: Symbian doesn’t feel very fast. Apps and options are buried deep in menus. Displaysn non-optimized pages in actual size so it’s hard to navigate the screen

The Bottomline: It’s good, but it’s not $500 good, especially without a qwerty.

The good: Better-than-Netbook performance; solid keyboard; good selection of ports for its size.

Amazon Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device – Latest Generation

Amazon Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

Among leading e-book readers, a 6-inch screen--which approximates the size of a paperback book--is standard: it's what you'll find on the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble Nook, and at least one version of the Sony Reader. But for those who prefer the more spacious pages of a magazine or newspaper, that size can be a bit cramped. With that in mind, Amazon released the Kindle DX in the summer of 2009, supersizing the Kindle experience with a 9.7-inch e-ink screen.

With the subsequent arrival of the Apple iPad in April 2010, many tech pundits wrote off Amazon's similarly sized--and identically priced--Kindle DX as a nonviable product. But just a few months after Apple launched its much-hyped tablet, Amazon is making efforts to resuscitate the DX with a price cut to $379, a new graphite finish, and a screen that offers higher contrast and darker fonts. The device still has "free" integrated 3G wireless connectivity from AT&T, and aside from the new "high-contrast e-ink screen" doesn't add any additional hardware enhancements.

The good: Large-screen e-book reader with improved, higher contrast e-ink screen; large library of hundreds of thousands of e-books, newspapers, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; free 3G wireless access; can store up to 3,500 books; 8 fonts available, including two new extra large sizes; decent battery life; displays image files, PDFs, and plays MP3 and AAC audio.

The bad: Though it's more affordable than the previous DX model, the price is still within spitting distance of the more versatile iPad; heavier weight (than smaller Kindle) could make long reading sessions tiresome; doesn't support ePub files; no protective carrying case included; battery is sealed into the device and isn't removable; no Wi-Fi option.

The bottom line: Though it has a hard time competing with Apple's iPad in terms of functionality, the less expensive 2010 Kindle DX will appeal to those looking for a large, dedicated e-reader with an e-ink display.

Apple iPod touch 32 GB (3rd Generation)

The good: The third generation of Apple's iPod Touch is still the king of the hill when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. New additions such as Voice Control, graphics enhancements, improved accessibility, higher capacity, and a faster processor help to refine an already excellent product.

The bad: The video cameras found on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano remain conspicuously absent. The lack of refinements to its audio quality, hardware design, and video playback leave us feeling just a little uninspired.

The bottom line: Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch leaves its competitors in the dust.
