[読んだ] New Gallery of Cases for Next-Generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano Posted - Mac Rumors

The new cases are by no means the first to appear, and a number of manufacturers have developed cases of similar design, but the hands-on views and packaging images shown in this latest gallery may be of interest to readers.

たしかにパッケージに入った状態で見るのは今回のHamaが初めてかも。

[読んだ] From Berlin with love: Hama cases for rumored iPod touch with camera

It's no secret that next week's Apple event is built around the iPod, and all signs point towards new iPod touch and iPod nano models with a marquee new feature: cameras. As the cavalcade of case manufacturer leaks continues, Engadget visited with case builder Hama at the IFA trade show in Berlin and got plenty of pictures of the new cases for both models, complete with camera ports.

Even allowing for the possibility of mass hysteria among scores of accessory vendors, one thing to keep in mind here is that this same firm -- Hama -- was among the first to show new cases for the iPod nano 4G, last year at this very same event. Check out the gallery of images from Germany and let us know what you think.

イベントまで1週間切りましたね。
もうここまでくると腹が据わりました。
ケースのリーク情報くらいでは大して興奮できない自分がいます(^^;

[読んだ] Novothink Solar Charger Juices Your iPhone/iPod Touch | GSM Dome - Mobile Phone News

In case you’re not into the wireless charging solutions available for the iPhone and iPod touch we have a more environmentally-friendly gadget for you, the Novothink solar charger.

This accessory is licensed by Apple and can charge the company’s handset or the latest version of its player by using the solar panel on its back side. USB charging is also supported and the LEDs will show the state of the charge.

The product goes for $70, but it’s only available in the version for iPod touches, while the iPhone version will hit in November.

もうちょっとデザインとか色とかどうにかなりませんかねぇ。

[読んだ] Technology: My Predictions for the Apple Sept. 9th Event.


I thought, since the Apple iPod Event  is this Wednesday, I would give you my predictions for what Apple is going to announce. So, here they are:


- iPod Touch to get a Camera. 3.2 megapixels, with Video recording. Possibly a Price Drop

- iPod Nano to possibly get the same Camera. Possibly a Price Drop

- iPod Classic to possibly get the same camera. Bigger HD. Possible Price Drop

-iTunes 9 to get Social Networking features, and hopefully, better iPhone app management.

自分はプライスダウンよりも容量を大きくするのではないかと予想。
あと希望としてiPod touchには5メガピクセルのカメラを搭載して欲しいですね。

[読んだ] ASCII.jp:懐かしの「パズルボブル」 iPhone版が登場!

タイトーは2日、iPhone/iPod touch用のパズルゲーム「Puzzle Bobble」の提供を開始した(iTunes Storeで見る)。価格は600円。

 アーケードゲームなどで人気を集めたアクションパズルゲームのiPhone/iPod touch版。画面下にある発射台から泡を発射し、同じ色の泡を3つ以上つなげて消していく。バブルが積み重なりすぎて、エンドラインを超えたらゲームオーバーだ。

聞き覚えのあるゲーム名。
往年のゲームファンは歓喜しながら購入してるんでしょうね。

    [読んだ] Quick Look: Time.com Mobile for iPhone | Just Another iPhone Blog

    Media_httpjustanotheriphoneblogcomwordpresswpcontentuploads200909topnews1jpg_lmhgxkwhfbdcmrm

    With news apps it’s all about content – how much there is, the quality of it, and how well it’s presented to you so you can easily digest it.  Time.com Mobile does very well on all three counts I’d say. 

    The range and quality of content is as you’d expect from a ‘trusted’ source like Time and, despite a few quirks, the app makes it easy enough to read and enjoy all that good content.

    One thing I don’t know as yet is how often the app is updated.  If updates are regular and frequent, then this app is a definite keeper for me. 

    英語学習のテキストとしても評判の「Time」がアプリで登場ですか。
    改善点はあるようですが無料なら一度試してみる価値あるかも。
