The new iPod Touch has been released. Apple hardly made any changes in the new model. I was disappointed that the FM Radio feature in the new iPod Nano was not included in the new iPod Touch.
The iPod Touch will be available in 8GB, 32GB and 64GB. Apple has dropped the 16GB model from it’s line up. However the good news is the 32GB model is now priced at RM1199 which is RM100 cheaper than 16GB model from the previous generation.

Apple has just launched the new iPod Nano which now features video recording, a larger screen (2.2 inches) and FM Radio! All these new features and more in a ultra portable compact size.
Video Recording
The new iPod Nano has a built in camera and mic to capture audio and video. The iPod also lets you choose special effects – like motion blur, sepia, thermal – and start recording. Once you are done, just sync the iPod Nano and you will be able to share the video by email, facebook or youtube. You can even playback the video and listen on the iPod Nano built-in speaker.
FM Radio
The FM radio is missing component from the iPod. Glad that Apple has finally included it. The FM tuner will display the name of the song and artist which is very handy plus a new feature – Live Pause.
Live Pause allows you to take a break from listening to the radio with just one click. With another click, you are listening to the radio again. You can even rewind up to 15 minutes back!
Other Features
The new iPod Nano also includes the Voice Over which tells you the artist and the title of the song that you are listening to. This feaute was first introduced in the iPod Shuffle.

I recently got myself the 16GB iPod Touch 2nd Generation. I consider myself a late comer to the iPod world. I enjoy using every minute of it as I have downloaded many software and podcast. I’m using it more of a mini computer while I am away from my macbook rather than a music player like how most people use it.
Apple has been promoting the iPod Touch as the “funnest” iPod ever and I believe it’s true. I downloaded games, wordpress to update my blog, fring for chats on msn, gmail and yahoo, weight training programs for gym, social networking updating software for facebook, twitter and plurk and many other useful utilities.
Podcast is another great thing to go with the iPod. There is so many things that you can download, legally. From CNN Daily News to Tiesto Club music. There is even self help podcast like language, photography and cooking lessons.
If you have not got one, maybe it’s time you should. It’s more than a music player!

Apple released the new iPods with a new makeover for the iPod Nano. For a start, the new iPod Nano comes in 9 colours. New features include Genuis and an Accelrometer. The new Genuis feature is like your personal DJ, it will create a playlist of songs that go great together. The accelerometer will detect the position and movement of the iPod Nano and rotates the screen between landscape and portrait and also acts as a control for games. If you like a little unpredictability, just give the iPod Nano a shake and it will shuffle your music (seems to me like a feature copied from Sony Ericsson Walkman phones).
