iPod touch 5G: Release date, rumors and wish lists

iPod touch 5G

The above picture is an imaginary concept for iPod touch 5G, created and design by WinkSoft Studios.

If speculation and rumors are to be believed the iPod touch 5th generation will be ditching the home button for a touch-sensitive button. iPod touch 5G release date is expected around 2nd week of September, 2011, which was the timeline for the releases of its previous generations for four years.

SideNote: that date has now passed so what’s next…?

With the new MacBook Pro and iMac introducing Thunderbolt, it is expected to be integrated with iPod touch and other Apple devices. Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology of Apple that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. It is known for setting new standards for speed, flexibility, and simplicity with Apple devices.

If another iPod touch 5G rumors is to be believed the new iPhone and iPod touch will come with a storage capacity of 128GB. Presently, 64GB is the maximum storage capacity for iPod touch and iPhone.

There are many new expectations and wish lists for the new iPod touch 5G. Especially, after the comparison of iPod touch Vs iPhone, many think that they deserve a better iPod touch this time.

Customer Wish lists:

Bigger screen display of 5 inchWi-Fi + 3G (3G is free with Amazon’s Kindle and customers are keeping their finger cross for the same with iPod touch 5G)Thicker for better grip (This may also help to integrate higher megapixels cameras.)5MP rear cameraGPSMore RAM (512MB or more)FM radio16 GB modelFlashlight for cameraDual core processors A5 chip (Since it is widely used for web browsing and connecting friends through social media network, customer expects a faster processor.)

We would love to hear your opinions. Share us your wish lists for the new iPod touch 5G.

Apple has issued a recall for certain models of its iPod line-up due to a faulty battery which represents a potential fire hazard, but the company is certainly being thorough: the devices in question date back to September 2005.

The first-generation iPod Nano devices - the ones that looked like a miniature iPod with the traditional scroll-wheel control system, rather than the more modern version with the touch-sensitive screen - have been found to overheat due to a faulty battery, and Apple is keen to get its hands on the potentially dangerous gadgets.

"The issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect," the company has admitted in a recall notice for the devices, stating that the flaw can cause overheating while refusing to verify rumours that the problem represents a potential fire risk.

The first-generation devices - recognisable by the design featuring "black or white plastic on the front and a silver metal back - later iPod nano models have a metal front and back," according to Apple - were sold between September 2005 and December 2006, but their age is no barrier to Apple offering a replacement.

Apple recommends that anyone with an affected iPod ceases its use immediately, and heads on over the the replacement form to request a new model with more reliable battery.

LogMeIn Brings Free Remote Access to the iPad and iPhone

100 Percent Free Anytime, Anywhere Access Now Available From Premier App Developer

WOBURN, Mass., Dec. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn (Nasdaq:LOGM) just unveiled a free mobile app to bring its signature remote desktop capabilities to even more iPads and iPhones. Featuring the same remote access experience that made LogMeIn Ignition the top grossing 3rd party iPad app of 20101, the new app lets any iOS owner remotely view, access and control their PCs or Macs from their iPad or iPhone. It works with LogMeIn's flagship free remote access offering, LogMeIn Free, giving iOS users unlimited free mobile access to their remote computers, anywhere with an internet connection.

Building on the success of its highly popular mobile app, LogMeIn Ignition, the new LogMeIn for iPad/iPhone app is the latest move by LogMeIn to bring its cloud-based, essential remote services to new audiences through feature-rich free offerings.

"Mobile devices, most notably the iPad, have given rise to an entirely new audience looking to remotely access their computer files and applications on the go. Not surprisingly, mobile has become an increasingly important driver for introducing new people to LogMeIn's services, and we believe we're just scratching the surface of this growing demand," said Michael Simon, president and CEO of LogMeIn. "By combining our mobile and free service strengths, we can bring the benefits of top-shelf remote access to virtually anyone and everyone with an iPhone or iPad."

iPad and iPhone owners can take advantage of the remote access capabilities by simply downloading the free app from the Apple App Store and then installing LogMeIn Free on any PC or Mac which they wish to access. Users also have the option of upgrading to an all new version of LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn's premium remote access software, and enjoy additional remote access capabilities.

LogMeIn Free users can:

Access an unlimited number of PCs and Macs from their iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) through a highly secure yet simple connection (AES 256-bit encryption, SSL/TLS intrusion detection)
Remotely view and control their PCs and Macs as if the device were in their hands
Run their computer-based business applications like Salesforce, Microsoft Office, Quickbooks, etc. on their iOS device
View important files and other important information stored on a remote computer from anywhere with a WiFi or 3G connection
LogMeIn Pro users get all the benefits and capabilities of LogMeIn Free, plus:

NEW: High Definition (HD) remote control, optimized for streaming video and audio content from their PCs to their iOS devices (Mac HD streaming is planned for early 2012)
Cloud storage integration to quickly and seamlessly view, copy, transfer and save files between iOS devices, personal or work computers, and popular cloud services (e.g. Dropbox, Google Docs)
File Management: Copy, move, and save files or folders from remote computers directly onto the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch for offline viewing
A version of the new LogMeIn app for Android smartphones and tablets is planned for 2012.

For Ignition Customers:

LogMeIn will keep Ignition for iPad/iPhone in the Apple App Store to support existing Ignition customers, and has updated the app to include HD remote control (and HD streaming) from their computers to their iOS device. These new capabilities, as well as the app's existing premium features are available to Ignition users at no additional cost and do not require LogMeIn Pro subscriptions.

Additional information on the new LogMeIn for iPad/iPhone:

Availability: Apple App Store
Pricing: App is free, LogMeIn Free is free, LogMeIn Pro is available for $39.99/year through in-app introductory pricing

Apple iPod nano 16 GB Graphite (6th Generation)

Redesigned for music and Multi-Touch, Ipod nano is smaller and lighter than ever. You can clip it to your sleeve, jacket, or running shorts and keep your favorite songs at your fingertipsÑalong with the Genius feature, a built-in FM radio, pedometer, and more. And the anodized aluminum finish in six bright colors makes this new design even more brilliant.
Upgradeable to nano 1.2 Software
This sixth-generation iPod nano is now upgradeable to Apple's new nano 1.2 software. Simply connect to iTunes and upgrade, and you'll be able to access the newer features. These include the ability to navigate with large icons displayed one at a time, a choice of 18 different clock face designs, and the ability to track your steps, distance, pace, and time while exercising, without the need for a separate shoe sensor or receiver.





Music. Feel the beat.Your greatest hits. And taps. And swipes.
The best things in life have a soundtrack, and that's where iPod nano shines. The Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way. Tap to play anything you want to hear. Swipe the Home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your Home screen so your music is organized just how you like.
Clip on some tunes.
With the new built-in clip, you can walk, run, ride, or dance with your favorite songs on your sleeve (or pocket, jacket, or bag). The album art of the song you're listening to fits perfectly on the display.
Play all day. And all night.
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 24 hours of nonstop music. So when you clip on an 8GB or 16GB iPod nano, you'll have plenty of tunes to make it through your commute, your workout, and beyond.
Shake it up.
Now for something completely random. Give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. Shake to Shuffle is perfect for when you're not in any particular music mood. You never know what you're going to hear, and you'll always be pleasantly surprised.

Your own personal DJ.
Say you're listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the groove. Just tap Genius. It finds other songs on your iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn't have thought of yourself, create Genius Mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to your iPod nano. Then tap the Genius Mixes icon and rediscover songs you haven't heard in a while--or find music you forgot you even had.

FM radio. Touch that dial.

Radio nano.
Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song, or program you're listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favorites.
Live Pause.
If you need to take a break from listening, don't miss a minute of radio time with Live Pause. Tap to pause a song or show, then tap again to continue where you left off. You can rewind as far back as 15 minutes or fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.

Fitness. Meet your new personal trainer.

Clip and go. And go. And go.
The new iPod nano design actually helps keep you fit. It's portable and wearable, which makes it runnable, walkable, and workout-able. Clip it on and control your music with just a tap or swipe of a finger, so you can stay focused without fumbling around. For your run, walk, or trip to the gym, a little iPod nano goes a long way.
Stay fit with every step.
iPod nano doubles as a pedometer, which makes it the ideal exercise partner. It keeps track of your steps and helps you meet your fitness goals. Just clip it on and walk on. You can create a daily step goal and check your progress when you upload all your data to the Nike+ website.
Rock your workout.
With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately), iPod nano keeps you motivated from warm-up to cooldown on your run or in the gym. Lace up a pair of Nike+ running shoes and clip on your iPod nano. You'll watch the miles unfold and hear real-time voice feedback along with your favorite songs. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. It records your pace, time, and distance as you work out and rock out.

iTunes. For your iPod-playing pleasure.

Everything you need to be entertained.
iTunes is the best way to fill your iPod nano with the latest music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. It's also the best way to browse and organize the ever-expanding digital media collection on your Mac or PC. Everything you buy on the iTunes Store--and any music from CDs you import--appears in your iTunes library. You can make your own playlists, create Genius playlists, choose Genius Mixes, and sync it all to your iPod nano. And you can download iTunes free.
The world's #1 music store.
Load your iPod nano with your favorite tunes. Or browse over 13 million songs and discover even more. You can search by artist name, song, or album title and handpick exactly the songs you want. Want some help finding new music? The Genius sidebar recommends new music based on the songs you already love. When you find something that sparks your interest, listen to the free 30-second preview. Click once to buy the song and it starts downloading instantly. It's the fastest, easiest way to build a digital music collection for your iPod nano.

Accessibility

Built-in accessibility.
iPod nano comes with accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy music, audiobooks, and more.
VoiceOver
iPod nano features VoiceOver, the world's first gesture-based screen reader. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPod nano. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. VoiceOver tells you the name of the song or artist--and it speaks 29 languages.
White on Black
If you prefer higher contrast, iPod nano lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as on the Home screen.
Mono Audio
If your hearing is limited in one ear, turn on Mono Audio to route audio into both earbuds so you can hear both channels in either ear.

What's in the Box

16GB iPod nano (Graphite), Apple Earphones, Dock Connector to USB Cable, Quick Start Guide and Important Product Information
This item may not have the very latest software installed. However, upon synching the unit to iTunes for the very first time, iTunes will determine this and update the unit accordingly for free.
