Predicted Apple would release a new version of iPod Touch in September 2010. Reportedly, the device sail touch music player will be added new features iPhone 4th grade? Want to know the latest rumor?

Site Electricpig technology managed to sneak into a slide show of an online store in the UK, Jhon Lewis, who revealed the latest iPod Touch for the upcoming holiday season. New features were revealed in there, among others, with a resolution of 5 megapixel camera complete with HD video recording, flash, and applications to upload to You Tube, Face Time video calling for video communication with the camera facing forward, as well as the movement accuracy of better control. These features are already there on the iPhone 4.

Slide show does not mention in detail whether the new design is also similar to the iPod Touch with iPhone 4. iPod Touch new possibilities not too experienced changes in appearance since been streamlined shape.

New rumor circulating in Jhon Lewis is different from the rumors circulating in the online site of Vietnam that the new iPod Touch-resolution 2-megapixel camera. However, later called if it was just a test product, not a manufactured product that is almost complete. The new specification of the iPod Touch are posted by Electricpig also still rumors are pretty yes.

iPod Touch which was issued last year was enough to make people disappointed because Apple introduced the iPod Touch without a camera. It’s all the opposite of what is imagined by people. However, if you want the iPod Touch more class may be necessary until September and see the changes that occurred on the iPod Touch. Who knew the iPod Touch will come with features like the iPhone and the new packaging.

Apple’s fourth-generation iPod Nano returns to the original long, light, and slender formula that put the series on the map. The Nano 4G feels impossibly light and thin, with a seamless metal construction that allows you to click, like a twig. Curved glass now covers the iPod Nano’s screen, with better scratch resistance. The shape have softened, measuring 3.5 inches tall by 1.6 inches wide by 0.25 inch thick at its center. Headphone and dock connections are located on the bottom of the Nano 4G, and a slide switch allows you to maintain the appearance in the top of the player.

Menu text size has increased slightly and album cover art takes up less real estate on the main menu. In an effort to increase the availability Nano for people with impaired vision, Apple has included a font size in the fourth generation Nano that makes its menus more legible. The Nano’s music playback screen now presents full-screen album art by default, and Cover Flow view is zippier than before, offering alphabetization letters below the covers to quickly navigate through your collection.

All of the features from last year’s Nano have migrated to the fourth-generation model, including music, video, and podcast playback, as well as extras such as photos, calendar, games, alarms, stopwatch, contacts, notes, and clocks. Apple has also added some features that make the 4G Nano more compelling than its predecessors.

The fourth-generation iPod Nano’s speed and usability is better than ever, but its sound quality and rated battery life haven’t budged. Apple rates the battery of the fourth generation iPod Nano at 24 hours of audio playback and 4 hours of video. Apple does not seem motivated to intervene in the iPod’s sound quality or any new audio enhancement settings beyond its traditional slew of EQ presets.

Multi-touch first came to the iPhone and iPod touch, then the MacBook Pro, and now Apple is putting multi-touch into it’s latest mouse, the wireless Magic Mouse. The mouse has no scroll wheel in motion, only one button, which depending on how many fingers are on the mouse, perform different tasks.

The Magic Mouse is included with its new  iMac desktops, but you can purchase it separately for $69. Just don’t confuse it with the Mighty Mouse, because although they’re the same price, the differences end there. The Magic Mouse gets a face lift aerodynamics and also supports the implementation of touch sensitive gestures. New users should expect to spend some time to adjust to how close and “no buttons” design. We suspect that many Mac users will hail the Magic Mouse and its multitouch functionality as the first in the next generation of input devices.

The Magic Mouse has a very slim profile compared to other mice, even the Mighty Mouse before, only 0.75 inches tall. It is also designed for both left-and right hand users, and can be activated through the System Preferences.

At the bottom of the mouse uses laser tracking Magic on older optical technology, however, does not work on glass surfaces as new mice from Microsoft and Logitech. Also on the bottom surface has two plastic bars that minimize contact with the mousing surface and a switch on / off. Slide down a small plastic tab to access the battery compartment.

The multi-touch functionality covers the entire upper surface of the Magic Mouse. The gestures of wonderful work in all applications, especially with the boost activated functionality for the move. Drop the mouse and you’re beaten by the page, like an iPhone. Swiping two fingers left or right to move through pages in Safari or Firefox, and browse through album art in iTunes.

When Apple releases new iPod models, sometimes all they change is how much storage the model offers. Other times, all they change is everything. Now in its third generation, Apple iPod Nano gets a substantial redesign to accommodate games and video playback. Apple did a lot of iPod nano is still one of the smallest, most delicate and exquisite designed MP3 player market. It is also one of the most affordable, with a 4GB silver () model offered for $ 149, and 8GB (silver, black, red, green or blue) model for $ 199.

The redesign of the iPod Nano has drawn plenty of criticism. The Nano measures a petite 2.75 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 0.25 inch thick. In the bottom of the Nano, find your own iPod USB port, along with headphones and the hold switch that prevents accidental release of the player buttons. Nano keeps Apple’s ubiquitous Click Wheel design, although the Nano’s new Click Wheel is smaller in diameter–it’s only 1 inch–than the previous Nano’s 1.25 inches. The Nano’s most dramatic design change is, of course, its larger, brighter screen. The 2-inch color screen packs a dense, crisp 320×240 video resolution that looks richer and brighter than that of any iPod to date.

The Nano’s second-most impressive design improvement is its dramatically overhauled menu system. One of the biggest changes in a split-screen main menu that displays the menu on the right side of the screen and photographs relating to the election of the left. The Cover Flow system, to see your music collection with an emphasis on album artwork, finally makes its Nano debut, although Cover Flow I lose some appeal when not on screen, communication devices like the iPhone.

The third-generation Nano’s piece de resistance is its support for video playback. The iPod Nano supports H.264 or MPEG4 video in either MOV, MP4, or M4V file formats, with a maximum resolution of 640×480 at as much as 30 frames per second. The iPod Nano support for iTunes video games. Although the game is a very convenient way to take some time, do not expect a Nano to compete with Sony PSP in the near future.

Apple iPod Touch third-generation version has arrived, flaunting 8GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. The third-generation iPod Touch design is unchanged at all. Just like its phone-wielding sibling, the iPhone, the iPod Touch is a touch-screen device with a glass-covered 3.5-inch screen that sports a 480×320-pixel resolution. Despite its touchscreen interface, Apple includes some physical buttons, including a finer volume control on the left side, switch on the top and home buttons at the front of the player, which is below the screen. Lower edge of the Touch includes the same universal port docking station and 3.5 mm jack for headphones, as the previous model, drilling otherwise uninterrupted chrome steel extension that wraps the back and edges of the device.

The size and shape of The Touch also remained unchanged (4.3 cm high by 2.4 inches wide 0.33 inches), some flat glass front set in a curved steel support that is natural to hand but it makes the iPod a bit shaky, when installed on the table. The Touch is packed with Universal Dock Apple USB connector cable, a pair of white headphones, which include a microphone and a remote control on the cable, insert molding, and a universal base for use in any capacity or accessories speakers.

Out of the box, the third-generation iPod Touch includes an amazing music player, podcast support, video playback (including rental of iTunes and YouTube player), the Safari browser, photo viewer, e-mail reader (compatible with Outlook, Exchange, MobileMe, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or POP E-Mail Service), integrated iTunes Store for music and video files, as well as many smaller utilities (weather, calendar, maps, stocks, notes, notes voice, clock, contacts, calendar and calculator). Provided become proficient with its touch-screen keyboard, the iPod Touch is more pocket PC than an MP3 player.

Video battery life is a tough one to test for the Touch or iPhone, so the player has been incorporated into the provision, interruption of video playback when the battery is low, forcing us to collect video playback on several occasions to assess the full measure of battery discharge video.
