Once again, the engadget guys has the new iPod touch 4th Generation in their hands to be tested (in a fast way, come on, no gyroscope test). First impression, it is smaller than the iPhone 4 (but what about than the previous iPod Touch 2009?)

In essence, it’s a much thinner iPhone 4, with no cell radio and a lower quality photo camera. The design is relatively similar to previous touches, so no major surprises there, but the inclusion of that A4 chip, higher resolution screen, and front and back cameras makes it a far more versatile device.

The back camera is clearly not the same 5 megapixel shooter present on the iPhone 4, its photo resolution is 960 x 720, a huge difference. The first iPhone from 2007 was iwth a 2MP camera, so this must be a joke (sadly it’s not).

Best Review Ever.

My thoughts on Apple’s new iPod Shuffle are quite similar to what Chris Pirillo says here.

A great review from the guys of engadget. What I like to see is how the new iPod Nano could be used as a wristwatch. The clock app has a very easy-to-read analog style to it, and swiping across the screen will give you a stopwatch and timer. There is no alarm clock, however, which as the Apple rep explained to us was a design decision given its lack of an external speaker.

This is the official Tv ad from Apple to promote the 4th Generation iPod Touch. They show the HD video-camera, a lot of games (none using the new gyroscope) and some facetime.

Song: Come Home by Chappo

Tv Ad for iPod Nano 6th Gen

The new ad for the 6th generation iPod Nano. They show how wearable this gadget is, and how you need to touch it with two fingers to rotate its interface, since it doesn’t have an accelerometer. Anyhow I really like this new Nano.

The word: Nano has become a Trending Topic in twitter, and this are the three top tweets (+100 RTs):

@PROMO_TWEET: THE NEW IPOD NANO: THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MUSIC PLAYER YOUR CHILD WILL ATTEMPT TO SWALLOW.

@markmcc: New nano *not* running iOS, according to rep at demo room. #apple

@ceoSteveJobs:
The new iPod nano. Give it the finger.

Since I am subscribed to Apple announces I just received this email (see the screenshot).

At first glance, we can analyze that:

• In the first picture they covered the ethnic factor, a blonde girl and a african-american dude doing FaceTime.
• The logo of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano, have letters with colored fingerprints to highlight both are multitouch devices.
• The most important of the new iPod Shuffle is that it brings …. Buttons! because they mentioned it like so
• The text of iTunes 10 and Apple TV has a horrible effect, not very legible. A FAIL.
• The most important highlight in the new iTunes is Ping.
• They only give the price of the cheapest model of iPod Nano and Apple TV.
• ANOTHER FAIL: Apple TV is not quite visible, they are giving priority to the Huge TV and the Apple remote control.
• At the bottom we can see how to personaliza an iPod Nano (look the volume controls) with an engraved message, nice!.

If we take a look to the new iTunes 10 logo, it has no CD in the background, the musical note is now over a big, blue circle with aqua effect and a central shine, just like the Windows Vista and Windows 7 logo. Nice move Apple.

Besides this I do like the new logo for iTunes, it looks like an informal and fun logo, more lika an App logo and not a huge software one.

Incredible tennis play by Roger Federer at the U.S. Open 2010, he has made a Willy or Tweener, a shot between his legs while showing his back to the field and scoring points against Brian Dabul.

Federer had no problems with Brian Dabul, he won 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. Federer dispatched the Argentine in 1 hour and 33 minutes of game.

Federer: I thought that I was late. But then I thought that I could do it again (he did the same shot against Djokovic last year). It’s hard to do it in the center court.

Roger won the Cincinnati Masters 1000 and is a finalist in Toronto. The world number two now is in his sixth Flushing Meadows and he will be playing against German Andreas Beck.
