Is This the Next-Gen iPod Nano With Built-In Camera?
We'd been hearing things about digital cameras in the next-gen iPods, but we thought it'd be in the touch. iLounge has mocked up the next-gen iPod nano using details from a source they say "has a perfect track record for accuracy." It's got a camera in its butt. More »

Samsung P3 Media Player Review: Here Comes a Nano Beater
Samsung's new flagship P3 PMP isn't an iPod touch killer—despite the touchscreens, the comparison doesn't hold up. In a shoving match against the iPod nano, however, the P3 trumps it in just about every respect.

Dealzmodo Hack: Accessorize Your iPod/iPhone Like MacGyver
The ubiquity of iPods has led to a ridiculous glut of accessories, some useful, most not. The best of them have essentially become a seamless part of the iPod experience, but they'll all cost you — and it really starts to add up. The expansion of the iPod universe, however, is twofold; more official products are followed closely by nearly as many unofficial ones. In other words, you can fully accessorize your iPod or iPhone, old or new, pretty much for free. More » -

Fourth Gen iPod Nano 1.03 Patch Out Now

Turn the Channel to iPod Nano TV
Like the Nanoscope hack before it, the iPod Nano TV magnifies the screen of your iPod while built-in speakers amplify the sound—making it seem as though you are watching a tiny, retro television. It even has a VHS combo style to complete the effect. It seems kind of pointless if you ask me, but it might be a great way to introduce 21st century technology to Grandma without shocking her system. The mini-magnifying TV works with any third generation Nano and will be available for soon for about $23. [Thumbs Up UK via GeekAlerts]

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]

Onkyo MHP-UW2 Wireless Headphones For iPod Users
Onkyo is poised to pack yet another wireless gadget on the 2.4 GHz band with their new MHP-UW2 headphones. However, the uncompressed connection should result in some decent CD-quality audio. (But what is the deal with that receiver? It almost doubles the footprint of the iPod Touch). At any rate, the MHP-UW2s are compatible with the iPod classic, Touch, Nano and Mini and it includes inputs for other audio devices. It set to be released in Japan on November 14th for around $200, but there is no word on whether or not it will haul that fat receiver across the pond to the States anytime soon.

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? Available from an Etsy seller, the $12 classic case features a rear opening that allows the shuffle's clip to slip through so you can wear it like a broach or button. 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 »

Bling Beacon of Thievery
24-Karat Gold iPod Nano is a Violent Mugging Waiting to Happen
Quick question: How do you make one of the world's most stolen gadgets, well, more enticing? If we're talking about iPods, which we are, then you slap 24 and 18 karat white gold all over the newest models, and then send them out into the subways inside the pockets of the today's filthy rich. Of course, for a mere $644 for the Nano and $823 for the Touch, you too can slap this cutpurse bling beacon to your side and hope for the best. Good luck, and we hope the pickpockets of your community enjoy the playlist you've selected for them. [Goldstriker via Born Rich]

Apple to Make iTunes 8 and iPod Completely Accessible to the Blind
Apple has committed to work with the state of Massachusetts to use its VoiceOver technology from Mac OS X to make its iTunes and iPod ecosystem fully usable for the blind. Before the agreement, Apple had already been making strides: VoiceOver and Braille support for OS X and closed captioning for iPod and Apple TV have already been implemented to a degree. But Apple's taking it even further. More »

Anti-Dealzmodo: New iPods Don't Qualify for Apple Back to School Promo
If you tuned into Giz yesterday, you may have noticed, if you looked really hard, that Apple released a few new iPods. And if you are a college student, maybe you realized that since the new iPods were available as of yesterday, they slipped right in for Apple's Back to School promotion (buy a new Mac, get an 8GB nano/touch free) that goes through Sept 15th. Unfortunately, a call to Apple retail revealed that Apple will not be honoring new iPods in this deal despite similar pricing. Sorry, college kids, I guess you'll just have to be happy with copious amounts of casual sex and inexpensive beer instead. [robreed]

Dealzmodo: Big Price Drops on Refurbed Previous Gen iPod Touches
The new iPods are out—and quite frankly, awesome. But if you like the previous lineup just fine, Apple is intently clearing stock on refurbished models, dropping prices further than they have been for the last few weeks. The iPod touches are the best deals of the lot with up to 41 percent off their original prices, or a 20 percent savings vs. the new touches revealed today: A 16GB old school iPod touch is $240, or a 32GB model is $320.

iPod Nano 4th Gen Sized-Up Against Its Ancestors
Tall and slender like the first generation, curved a bit like the second generation, with the bigger screen of the third generation: the new iPod nano is clearly a product of its ancestry. And it's no longer a stubby fatty, with Jobs himself calling it the "thinnest iPod ever"—helped a bit by those curves. Check out our hands-on to see if this is an iPod you're going to like slipping into the pocket of your skinny jeans. Hands-on gallery of new nano vs last-gen "fat" nano below: More » -

New iPod Shuffle: Same Chip-Clip, Now With Nano's Hand-Me-Down Colors
At this point, the housing can't get much smaller without coming with a serious child-safety choking warning etched into the back—but obviously not wanting to leave any iPod untouched today, Apple spread some more saturated ROYGBIV love to the shuffles (the nano's old digs, actually), ditching the lighter pastels. They remain $50/$70 for 1GB/2GB.

iBikeConsole is Bicycle iPod Mount, Remote Controller, Trip Computer in One
Cycling and listening to an iPod can be pretty dangerous as the music masks the road sounds, and fiddling with the controls can have you veering all over place: iBikeConsole is designed to help with some of that. It's a handlebar iPod nano mount that houses your PMP in a shock and rain-proof case, and comes with remote controls you mount near to the grip locations so you don't have to move your hands far. Neat... and it even functions as a bike computer, tracking your ride time, speed and distance and so on. Available now for $76. [Product page via UberGizmo]

A Sad Fact: The iPod's Clickwheel Must Die
As tomorrow's Apple event looms, rumors of new iPods grow louder. And it's tough not to be at least a little excited. Ever since the original iPod was unveiled in 2001, Apple has wowed us time and time again by presenting the next piece of design evolution—an iPod that will be better than the last in every way—style, form and function. In a world when technological improvements can be hard for the naked eye to appreciate, Apple has given us the most simple metric of man's capabilities: A pocket music player. More »

Unconfirmed: An Actual Picture of the New iPod Nano
Looks like we've got a supposedly legit, actual spy shot of the new iPod nano in its packaging (apparently originally posted by MacNN in an obscured form before getting cleared up). Thankfully, while it confirms everything we've been hearing about it, it's much, much prettier and Apple-y than what Kevin Rose provided us with, which looked like it was crapped out of a plastic robot Ewok or something before it had its picture taken. This, all assuming that it's actually a legit picture. Orange? My dream of a lime green nano on Tuesday now has wings. Update: We have changed the photo again for one without watermarks we just got in the mail. [MacNN—Thanks Mike]
