December 17th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Electronics, Gadgets, iPod, review

Apple iPod touchThe third generation of Apple’s iPod Touch is still the king of the hill when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. It looks identical to the 2nd generation models, but the capacities and prices are improved. There’s no built-in video camera, as had been rumored, which is a bit of a surprise, considering the less-expensive and much-tinier nano got one. With the touch, Apple’s focus remains firmly on music, and, more so than ever, portable gaming.

New additions such as Voice Control, graphics enhancements, improved accessibility, higher capacity, and a faster processor help to refine and already excellent product. The Apple iPod Touch 32gb also ranks the hottest electronic product at Amazon right now, dropping its price by up to $25.01 (8%).

google-nexus-oneA couple of days ago, we were excited after several Google engineers twitted about the new Google phone. No official reports have been received yet since then except for an entry in the Google Mobile Blog which they referred to “Dogfooding“.

Apparently, this confirms that Google indeed distributed Google Nexus One, the new name for the long been rumored Google Phone, before the start of the holiday season. The Google Nexus One, manufactured by HTC Corp., were distributed exclusively to Google Employees worldwide for testing and evaluation to improve the product before it can be released in 2010.

According to WSJ, the Google Nexus One is different from the other Android phones available in the market today. The entire software experience was developed by Google itself. It was also said that the new phone will run on Android 2.1, the latest version of the Android operating system, which was not seen yet in any available mobile phone today.

The photo above shows a mock-up of the Google Nexus one running on Android 2.1 platform and Google Chrome OS.
