6th Gen iPod Nano into a wrist watch

So, ok im late with this thing over here. Not that I have not posted anything about the 6th gen iPod Nano but with the wrist watch of it all. I was simply not interested about it but I noticed that this is going around and around over my news feeds so I told myself, I think I have to at least post something about it, right? Just to let people know what is new and keep you all updated, right?
So here goes, after Steve Jobs have announced and unveiled the new line of iPods coming within this month and when he got to the point of unveiling the iPod Nano 6th gen he was even saying that this might be a wrist watch or at least he thought of it.
The new Nano is said to be made as a wrist watch, yeah a multi touch wrist watch that is capable of playing music. But is it ok if the idea of a headset always plugged into your wrist watch amazing? Well, I will leave the answer for that to yourselves but it truly is cool, I mean the idea of it all.
My source said that the limits of the Nano's looks-like-iOS-but-can't-run-apps-like-iOS operating system, made me read the line over and over again for me to understand the whole point. So it means basically that the "OS" that is running on the Nano is not iOS. So my question, what is it? Anyway, you can already buy these colored straps over at Country Comm, if you are really excited of buying one even if the iPod that will be strapped into it is not yet available.

Apple's Game Center compatible devices - iOS 4.1

Photo grabbed from Endgadget
So you thought, if you upgrade your Apple device to iOS 4.1 you'd get all of the apps and features it is suppose to offer? Nope, that is totally not the case. Take for example Apple's new Game Center which is included in the iOS 4.1 upgrade. Unfortunately not all the iPhone versions/models are included and are compatible with the app. Take out the fist-gen iPhone and the iPhone 3G, they are not included.
The devices that are included or compatible with Apple's Game Center are, the iPhone 4 & 3GS, the iPod Touch 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen, and that's it.

Apple announces new range of iPods - Touch, Nano, and Shuffle

Photo grabbed from Boy Genius Report
Wait, a comment from my sources comments read, "Oh the iPod touch looks nice". Does it really? What can you see anything different with the 4th gen iPod Touch and the 3rd base on that photo? None.
Anyway, there are actually changes. First is that its 1 4th gen, oh seriously? It will be running on IOS 4 and the most important change should be the two cameras that will be fitted to the iPod Touch, front and rear facing.The rear camera by the way can shoot 720p HD video. So this iPod Touch will be Apple's 4th gen. Steve Jobs said that the iPod Touch is the world's most popular gaming device, pointing it out that the iPod Touch have sold more than Sony and Nintendo combined, well who does not play games on their iPod Touches? The 4th gen iPod Touch is said to be thinner (as if its not thin enough), lighter (makes it a lot cooler), plus Apple's Retina Display which is in their iPhone 4! Now that makes me wanna crave for one! Apple's 1GHz A4 processor will be breathing underneath this beast. Price tag: 8GB $229, 32 GB $299, 64 GB $399.
Next stop the iPod Nano. I recently posted a blog about this freaky nice little thing. Now we can say that the adjective is now rightfully partnered with a small device. it will be featuring a multi touch screen display with a clip just like your ordinary iPod Shuffle has. Steve did not mention its dimensions is and I think it won't be as small as the Shuffle but sure it will be one of the smallest, if not the smallest, multi touch music player in the world once released. The device will be available with 8 GB for $149 and a 16 GB for $179.
Last, the iPod Shuffle. Yes, basically Apple revamped their line of music players, well except for the iPod Classic. The shuffle wouldn't have much things going on with it or something really new when you talk about its size, but one thing is really noticeable with the new Shuffle. Yup, you got it, it has Apple's soft touch scrolling pad in front that is not found in the current iPod Shuffle. Price tag: $49 (2GB).

How Nano can the iPod Nano go?

Photo grabbed from Gizmodo
How Nano can the iPod Nano go? Like that Nano? The iPod Shuffle is one, if not the smallest music player in the world, lets not think about those china made music players. But termed as the iPod Nano, this iPod should be smaller than the shuffle, do you agree? So, here's what Apple thinks it should create. An iPod Nano that fits the name all with the screen. It looks like an iPod Shuffle but has the screen on it. It might be touch screen, I do not know, but our source did not mention anything about a touch screen display on this 3cm x 3cm screen, that my source also said that it looks harder to use. And then I say, again, technology is unpredictable, we never know what Apple could be thinking on this Nano right here. This is just rumors, and as we all know based on experience, rumors results in reality with technology. So let's just wait on what else is in store for us with this Nano, the true Nano, i should say.
