Apple Announce the New iPod Shuffle, 64GB iPod Touch, 160GB iPod Classic and iPod Nano With a Camera
There were big rumours about the iPod Touch gaining a camera, but that turned out to be false. There is no camera on the new iPod Touches and that's definitely a sad thing for those who were looking forward to it. Nothing entirely too big here, basically. They announced a $199 8GB model, a $299 32GB model, and a $399 64GB model, which is seen above. The look is still the same, and I now hate it because it's been around for too long. Although there is no camera, the CPU did get an upgrade, the 64GB model is said to be "50% faster" and it supports OpenGL, which should make gaming even better.
Apple went on to announce a new iPod Classic that has 160GB of internal storage. Even though the storage was bumped up 40GB, it has the exact same dimensions as the old 120GB model. It's now available for $249.
Last, but definitely not least, it's the new iPod Nanos. These were definitely my favourite iPod announcement. Unlike the iPod Touches, the iPod Nanos do have a camera. The new iPod Nano has: a 2.2-inch display with a 240 x 376 resolution, an FM tuner, a microphone, a speaker, and VGA @ 30fps recording abilities. The dimensions are the exact same as the last Nano but it weighs 1.28 ounces, which is 0.02 ounces lighter than the last model. "Apple claims that the new nano can last up to 24 hours when playing back audio, while video playback should zap the rechargeable battery in just five hours." These Nanos are now available for $149 for the 8GB model and $179 for the 16GB model.

Sprint Cuts Palm Pre Price To $149; Palm Pixi Is Official, And Looking Ugly
The rumour was true, the ugly thing you above is the Palm Pixi and it's like the Palm Eos without the optical trackpad. That's right, it's official! This handset reportedly has: a 2.63-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a 320 x 400 resolution, a full QWERTY keypad, a 2MP camera with a flash, 8GB of internal memory, and EV-DO Rev. A connectivity. So, this handset does not have WiFi and we'll see how good the touchscreen does since HTC mentioned that capacitive touchscreens "aren't accurate" on smaller touchscreens - that's why they put a resistive touchscreen on the HTC Tattoo.
Anyways, this handset will be hitting Sprint this holiday season, but the exact release date and price hasn't been mentioned yet. Since it's cheap-looking and the specs aren't too flashy, it should probably launch under the $100 mark. You can check out this Engadget link for a couple of videos on the Pixi. I think it looks ugly, but Engadget thinks otherwise.

Intel Atom N450 To Run at 1.66GHz, Atom N470 To Run at 1.83GHz
The Atom N470 will reportedly run at 1.83GHz and have a 667MHz FSB. It will also have an integrated graphics controller and hyperthreading support. The chip will have a TDP of 6.5 watts, which is significantly higher than the 2.5 watt TDP of the Atom N270. But the Atom N270 chip requires a separate graphics controller, which also sucks power. In other words, the Intel Atom N470 will likely run faster than the Atom N270 while using even less energy overall.
