500x_nano_6_01

Last month Apple unveiled their 5th generation iPod Nano’s at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The refresh of the iPods included the ability to listen to FM radio. Rumors are climbing the grape-vine that Apple will give the iPhone and iPod Touch the ability too. The WiFi and Bluetooth chipsets in the iPhone 3GS and the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touch already have the ability to listen in on FM radio.

Another reported feature is that you may be able to listen to the radio while using other apps at the same time. Just as you do synced music. Other features include Live Pause and iTunes tagging, like what is found in the 5th generation iPod Nano’s. Allowing you to buy the played song through the iTunes store via your iPod Touch or iPhone.

そういえばnanoのラジオは受信状況どうなんでしょうね。
室内だと厳しい、という感想を前に見ましたが……。
せっかくtouchでラジオを聴けるようになっても、電波が入りにくいとかなるとイヤだなぁ。

fm_radio_rumor_0.jpg

アップルが、iPhone・iPod touch向けにFMラジオアプリを開発しているとの情報を、9 to 5 Macが掲載しています(画像はイメージ)。

記事によると、

  • iPodアプリのようにバックグウンドで動作
  • 流れている曲をiTunesで購入するボタン
  • ライブポーズ (の可能性)

といった機能が含まれるようです。

iPhone 3GS、第2世代以降のiPod touchに採用されているBroadcomのチップには、FMを受信する機能が搭載されています。受信に必要なアンテナは、iPod nanoと同様にヘッドフォンを利用することが考えられます。

技術的な障壁は低そうなので、けっこう現実味のある噂ですね。

One of the most significant open questions about Apple's much-rumored tablet may have been settled -- which operating system it will run. According to a new report, this device will be based on the iPhone OS, not Mac OS X.

Citing one of its most reliable sources, iLounge is reporting that this will not be a scaled down laptop. Instead, it will be a scaled up smartphone or handheld. It will let users browse the Web; check their email; play music, video, and games; and read e-books. 

またiPhone OS説が浮上してきました。
Mac OS X説が濃厚になってたのでこの「覚書」での追跡はやめていたんですが、もうしばらく追ってみますか。

ipodtouch_leakedcamera

iFixit was the first to discover that the new iPod touch contained a small space at the very top that was just about the perfect size to house a small camera like the iPod nano’s.  When compared to the leaked iPod touch images from about a month ago, you will notice the same space that is open on the new iPod touch is filled by a camera, but everything else is is just about the same.  Both the new iPod touch and the leaked device have distinctly different internal offerings than the second generation iPod touch, which should put to rest any possibilities that the leaked images were faked.

Remember, it was rumored that Apple was having technical issues with the camera modules in the new iPod touch, which would explain why the leaked images of the prototype model had a camera but it had since been removed from the final model.

技術的な問題で今年はカメラ機能を見送ったとみるのが、やはり妥当でしょうね。

new-ipod-touch

Apple’s failure to slap a camera round the back of the iPod touch this week was certainly a surprise. Case manufacturers had already started churning out their wares with a dedicated spot for a peeper and spy shots showed a model in all its glory.

However, sources have told AppleInsider that another update will soon see the same camera from the iPod nano on the iPod touch. Word is this is all down to delays in getting the parts ready and working, as we reported earlier this week.

仮にAppleがiPod touchにカメラを付けるとしても、おそらく来年の9月までは出ないんでしょうね。ハァ……。

Earlier today, we reported that Apple has dropped the price on the outgoing line of iPod and iPod touch models, presumably in preparation for today’s event.

Now CNET Australia has uncovered what are believed to be leaked photographs of the new devices, care of third-party case manufacturer Cygnett.

As rumored, it appears that both the iPod touch G3 and the iPod nano G5 will include cameras, though no word on quality or features like auto-focus and flash.

The price and the capacity specifications aren’t available either, but thanks to Cygnett, we do know what these little beauties probably look like.

これ、ホンモノなんですかねぇ。
カメラがついてるのにカメラアプリが見当たらないところが嘘っぽいなぁ。

ビートルズの全オリジナルアルバム・リマスター盤が本日、全世界で発売されました。さらに海外ではゲーム、The Beatles: Rock Bandも本日発売。そして本日9月9日はアップルによるrock and rollイベントの開催日です。アップルの発表イベントはだいたい火曜日なのに今回は水曜日。これらの符合が読み取れることはひとつ......ビートルズのiTunes配信! というのが大勢に予測されているところ、他ならぬオノ・ヨーコがSky Newsに対し今日のイベントで配信が発表されると認めました。

ただしSkyの記事はすでに削除済。またFinancial Timesの記事ではEMIのErnesto Schmitt氏が「アップル(コンピュータのほう)とEMIの話し合いは継続中で、デジタル配信できる日を待ち望んでいるが、9月9日ではない」と否定しています。ポール・マッカートニーによればオノ・ヨーコをはじめメンバーと遺族は配信に賛成、しかしEMIが反対しているとのこと。one more thingはあるのでしょうか。

Appleの音楽イベントの日にちが発表されたと同時にウワサにになったこの話題。
でもイベント名がローリング・ストーンズの曲名からの引用だったことですぐに期待薄になってたはずでした。
それがまた今日のこの日に取り沙汰されると変に期待しちゃいますね。

Calling them "sure thing bets," the Daring Fireball blogger said that both the iPod nano and iPod touch will receive cameras. He believes the new iPod touch will have the same RAM and processor speed as the iPhone 3GS, and the new media player will sell in capacities of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB at prices of $199, $299 and $399, respectively. He also said that the hard drive-based iPod classic will remain, likely with a 160GB capacity for $249.

発売が遅れるんじゃないかというウワサが昨日からでてますが、その話題はこの記事にはないですね。

Apple will likely unveil new iPods at an event in San Francisco tomorrow. But they may not be ready to ship right away.

AppleInsider reports that Apple has hit a snag with its new, camera-enabled iPods. The site doesn't know if the iPods will be scrapped from the show entirely, or if they'll simply be introduced without immediate retail availability.

Neil Hughes: A person with a strong track record in predicting Apple's upcoming product launches recently told AppleInsider that the iPod maker has experienced technical problems (bad parts) with the cameras modules. The person said that it was uncertain whether the new hardware, which has been widely expected to debut at Wednesday's "Only rock and roll" media-centric event, would make the cut for early September retail distribution.

No big deal for Apple, assuming the delay is temporary.

iPod touchだけ問題があるのかと思ってましたが、この記事ではiPod全体のようですね。
ちょっとイベントの盛り上がりに影響が出るかもですね……。

Courtesy of Apple
Here at TUAW, we are all looking forward to the possible launch of a new iPod touch at Apple's music event on Wednesday. After all, who isn't excited after a slow Labor Day weekend (with no talkcast)? Unfortunately, over at AppleInsider and HardMac, they are both reporting that the new iPod touch revision may be delayed. They state that the delay could be related to last-minute technical issues with the rumored camera modules on the new devices.

We have already seen many case designs in various places showing a opening on the back for a possible camera, which already makes for lots of speculation. However, both sites still expect that new a iPod touch will be announced on Wednesday, but the new devices might not ship immediately after the announcement. It's still not known if this will affect possible upcoming iPod nano and iPod classic refreshes, which might also include a camera. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to get our hands (and fingers!) on a new iPod touch with a camera.

日本時間では明日の深夜にAppleの音楽イベントが行われるはずですが、ここにきて嫌なウワサが流れてますね。
中国の工場で生産をストップしたとかなんとか。
nanoとclassicだけ先行発売とかあんまりだなぁ……。

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:34:00 -0700 [読んだ] Apple To Kill Off iPod Classic, Double Down On Touch, iPhone Developer Predicts (AAPL) http://touchwith.posterous.com/-apple-to-kill-off-ipod-classic-double-down-o http://touchwith.posterous.com/-apple-to-kill-off-ipod-classic-double-down-o

Marco Arment, who created the excellent Instapaper, has some guesses. In a blog post (worth reading the whole thing), Arment predicts:

  • Apple will kill off the iPod classic.
  • Apple will cut the price on the iPod shuffle to $59.
  • Apple might stick a camera into the iPod nano, but will reduce the line to one model, 8 GB, for $99.
  • Apple will stick a camera into the iPod touch, double the storage capacities, and adjust pricing: 8 GB for $149, 16 GB for $199, 32 GB for $249, 64 GB for $349.

Certainly plausible. The main idea is to gradually spin down the legacy iPod line -- which Apple has already told us is slowly headed toward zero -- and get as many people using the iPod touch line instead.

Why? It's a more exciting, sophisticated experience, for one.

But also, the App Store, of course. Apple is in the beginning of a mobile platform war with RIM, Palm, Google, and others, and the iPod touch is a key part of it. Getting more people exposed to the App Store, which is only available on the OS X-powered touch iPod, will boost app sales, could boost iPhone sales, and should build platform loyalty and lock-in that is important, especially as Apple's rivals improve their own app platforms. Plus, it makes the App Store user base look even bigger, which makes the platform look better to developers.

iPod touchを値下げ・容量アップしてtouchユーザー増加を図り、さらにiTunes Storeの売上増も狙う、という構図はたしかにありえそうですね。

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(^^;

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。

There have been numerous rumors saying that Apple is prepping a tablet with a 10-inch screen, but a new report says this device could be much larger than this.

A source in Asia claims to have see two Apple tablets in a factory, one with 13-inch display, and a second with a 15-inch display. 

This comes on the heels of a separate unconfirmed report, saying that this company is also considering a tablet with a screen smaller than 10 inches. This version apparently looks like a super-sized iPod touch.

新しいウワサ。
個人的な予想としては、現在1種類しかないMacBookに置き換わるかたちでtabletが出てくるんじゃないかと。

The fact that Apple would use a September event to launch new iPods wouldn't be a big surprise, but the new iPod Nano and iPod Touch will reportedly have cameras. AppleInsider didn't cite sources for this detail but said it "has it on authority" and that it has been able to "independently confirm" the information.

The addition of cameras would increase the functionality of iPods, making them dual-purpose devices.

How the camera system will work is unknown. It's suspected that only the iPod touch will have video recording features due to both its touchscreen and the fast processor, but all should at least have the option of taking photos.

Apple’s next-generation iPods - including the iPod touch, nano and classic - will carry 3.2 megapixel cameras supplied by Taiwan’s, OmniVision.

As 9to5Mac reported last week, the new generation iPods are expected to be introduced at an Apple special event on September 9

Reports this morning claim OmniVision has secured CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders for the upcoming products.

 

It will supply “3.2-megapixel CIS products for the new iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod touch models which will be launched in September,”  sources claim.

The company is one of the 3.2-megapixel CIS suppliers for the iPhone 3GS and is expected to ship 18 million CIS products to Apple per quarter.

Apple is also expected to introduce a new version of iTunes, equipped with social networking features including the capacity to depatch songs played to Facebook, iLike and Last.fm. The new software is also expected to support direct import of Digital Copy movies from Blu-ray discs. Some speculate on updates to the Apple TV at the event.

むぅ…5メガピクセルくらいを期待してたんですけどねぇ……。
消えると思われたclassicもカメラ付で残るとはちょっと意外。
まぁあくまでウワサですが。

Apple のCEO (最高経営責任者) Steve Jobs 氏の復帰は、業務が通常に戻るだろうことを示す兆候というだけではない。長い間噂されているタブレット PC への参入計画の進行を示すと同時に、同氏が開発に再び采配をふるっていることを示すのかもしれない。

肝臓移植と6か月の療養を経て、Jobs 氏が Apple に職務復帰したのは6月だ。それ以来、同氏は噂されている Apple のタブレット型デバイスの開発に集中して取り組んでいると『Wall Street Journal』(WSJ) 紙が報じている

むしろtabletのような大事な製品にジョブズが関わってない方がおかしいですよね。
