This is the one product which hasn’t been released, as in it is not on Apple’s website. The name iTV is not official yet, so it is subject to change. I think that is good because iTV sounds a bit plain, and similiar to Elgato’s EyeTV line of products. So people could get confused. Down [...]

The new version of iTunes has a lot of new features, you can find a good walkthrough of the main features at TUAW. These are the main enhancements:

TV Shows are available in h.264, in 640 x 480 which is up from 320 x 240.

So no 6G iPod with real video capabilities, but an updated ‘version 2′ iPod, if you may call it that. So what’s new? Well for starters, there is a new 80GB model, which has the same size as the 60GB. The battery life has been bumped upto 20 hours of music, and 6 and a [...]

In Apple’s “It’s Showtime” event in San Francisco, a few hours earlier, they revealed the new iPod Shuffle. It is now a lot smaller, somewhere in the size of the radio adapter for the normal iPods, as you can see from the image above. It is also now made of anodized aluminium, just like the [...]

Well not really! But the new nano’s that Apple released today (2G) look like the old iPod mini’s. And who’s to blame them because they were really popular.

The first time this happened I wasn’t majorly concerned as this was a ‘one-off’ thing. But hearing it happen a second time makes me slightly worried, but only slightly. I was a bit skeptical at the last incident as to whetehr the furry kittens had any part of the problem. However, this time it is [...]

Two pictures have cropped up on a blogspot blog, apparently showing screenshots of Apple’s next Mac OS X version, named ‘Leopard’. The first picture (above) shows Finder with tabs, as well as IE 7 running. The ‘About this Mac’ screen also shows a listing for Windows, and spec is “XP with Service Pack 2″. The [...]
