Via Nano 3000 Wants to Rip Out the Eyes of the Intel Atom
Via's latest nano processor, the 3000, has gone official today for a release in early 2010 in speeds ranging between 1 to 2GHz. The promise? 20% lower power consumption than old Vias, and 1080P playback. Intel's gotten cocky enough in the space that we don't mind the competition one bit. More » -

Unsurprisingly, Gyms Don't Like iPod Nano's Video Recording Inside Locker Rooms

Nano Silver May Be Envionment's Silver Bullet
The UK's Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution has recently released a report urging for more study of nano-engineered materials, warning that there is a "major gap" in our knowledge of this technology. We've covered the potential dangers of carbon nanotubes here before, but the commission also warns about nano silver, an antibacterial particle that can be found in a variety of clothing, like socks. And in fact, the commission Chair refuses to wear such clothing at all: More » -

Colorware Adds Visual Spice to iPods, Better Scratch Protection For iPod Touch
We've covered Colorware's professional gadget painting in the past—and were more than satisfied after seeing their work close up, but their latest iPod coloring seems to be more than just cosmetic. The iPod Touch 2G color-coats the shiny silver metallic back with a color layer, which most likely handles fingerprints and scratches better than the original surface. They also paint iPod Nano 4G and iPod Classic as well as iPhone 3G, so you've got options on those devices as well. The process is not all that cheap ($125 to send yours in), but it's definitely worth it considering that they do a great job and you'll be using these gadgets for years. [Colorware] -

iPod Nano Switches Left and Right Channels With Headphone Insert
If you have a new 4th-gen nano and a decent ear, you may have noticed something funny: After putting it to sleep, if you wake it up by inserting headphones, the left and right channels switch. I tried this with the most obvious stereo mix of all time, David Bowie's "Space Oddity," and it's really easy to duplicate yourself. While it's easy to correct, it's still definitely a weird, weird bug. Thanks to reader Matt for bringing it to our attention, and posting a thread at iLounge. Have you noticed it or any other weird glitches, like Genius' pathological avoidance of the lovely Norah Jones? (I'm serious, try it!) -

Retro iPod Shuffle Case Proclaims Old School Fandom
What better way to celebrate your new iPod shuffle than sticking it to Apple's marketing/branding department and sliding the sleek device into the original Apple logo?

But if giant lizards are more your thing and you've got a new iPod nano, the seller has something else you may be interested in: More » -

Apple to Make iTunes 8 and iPod Completely Accessible to the Blind

Japanese Scientists Plan to Build Space Elevator
Japanese scientists are so hyped up on the possibilities of building a real life space elevator that in just two months' time the country is playing host to a conference designed to set a production timetable. Carbon nanotube technology has advanced so rapidly that a material capable of withstanding the amazing forces in the space elevator cable is almost within reach: according to the chairman of the Japan Space Elevator Association it'd only need to be four times stronger than the current strongest nanotube rope.

Apple Confirms 4GB Nano

Speaking with an Apple spokeswoman, Reg Hardware discovered that the company made a “limited number of 4GB iPod nanos for some international markets." Just how many were shipped out and to what countries specifically remains a mystery. Whether this is some sort of test market for a wider launch is also unknown at this time. More » -

Unidentified 4GB Nano Showing Up on Store Shelves In Europe
Oddly enough, there have been two separate accounts of a 4GB version of the new nano showing up on store shelves in the Netherlands.

The sources claim that this rogue nano comes in all 9 colors and is priced at the equivalent of $169—as you can see in the following product link. UPDATE: Apple has confirmed the existence of a 4GB Nano. [Product Page and One More Thing and Yahya Gallery] -
