Posted by skin On September - 10 - 2009

As the unveiling has passed for another year from Apple and as we all knew and expected another year of new iPods. Now obviously I’m all for new technology and gadgets(hence why i write on a blog about them) but I’m getting to a stage of frustration where every year Apple bring out a new set of iPods that aren’t really much better than the last generation.

iPod touch 64GB announced

Posted by James On September - 10 - 2009

Apple have announced an update to its line, this includes the new 64GB model which will set you back £299.

Prices of the 32GB and 8GB models have dropped in the states to $299 and $199 respectively so expect the UK to follow.

Apart from that there has not been much of a change but it appears that the new models use the same CPU as the 3GS, since they can run OpenGL 2.0

We previously blogged about how the new Shuffle may have a special hardware authentication chip which is required to control the shuffle.

It has now been confirmed by 3rd parties that the new shuffle earphones do require a authentication chip and will require companies to pay a licence fee to be part of the Made for program.

However apparently the chip isn't encrypted or otherwise locked down in any way, so it's easily cloned by companies who'd rather not pay but this will mean the earphones will not be able to carry the “Made for certification” logo which will probably lead to a loss in sales.

That means that third parties will have to pay for the privilege of making shuffle-compatible accessories.

Considering the earphones supplied by tend to be pretty crap I am pretty sure I would never consider buying this anymore.
