A number of rumours and drawings of touch screen iPods have been going around the internet for a while now. Apple announced recently that 2007 will be their biggest year for devices. The iPod touch screen is one such rumour which methodshop even posted some iPod patent pictures early on this year.

Along with this rumour is more news (rumour) which say the touch screen iPod will have a wide screen aspect ratio unlike it’s would be competitor from MS, the Zune. If iPod do go ahead with this and rumours are true then the Zune is doomed. Well, maybe anyway 😉

A quote from someone anonymous…
‘In a very matter of fact tone I was told that the product was not designed for the current generation of device, but the official 6G iPod¦ which is to be released in December. His company’s device only comes onto the market shortly before then and would benefit hugely because the new iPod would sport a screen that filled the full side of the device and consequently offer higher resolution video¦ This is why Jobs isn’t afraid of the Zune,’ he said, though he had no knowledge of whether wireless would make an appearance.

The iBreath is a device which connects to your iPod. The device has a tube sticking out of the side so you can blow down it to measure your alchohol content level. This is accurate to 0.01 BAC. To add a twist to this, the device doubles up as an FM transmitter. It makes you wonder if the device will not work when your level is too high 🙂

The iBreath costs $50 although I think 1 drink is too many to drive! So be careful out there.

OLED do great when used indoors, but when there is too much light like outside then it’s a different stors. The problem with OLED screens is that the life span is not as good and who know’s if Apple are in favour of that? 😉

According to rumours the latest 6th Generation iPod might be going wireless. This is speculated to take on the new Microsoft portable devie. With iPod’s easy controls and easy meny system, the next step will be to incorporate wifi in to the ipod. Microsoft intend to get their portable player out by Christmas. Maybe Apple will beat them to it with this new device.

Ok, it had to be done. XTremeMac have launched the Superman version of it’s iPod case and I can see this one selling really well which is just in time for the new movie release. It covers the whole iPod and yet allows all the controls to still work. I wonder if it’s made of bullet proof lycra/spandex?? Who knows. Anyway, there are 2 versions out… the case for the 30Gb and case for the 60Gb iPods and it retails for just $30.

Have you ever walked down the street and had your iPod shot at? I guess the inventor of this case has because he has made a bullet proof iPod case. Ok… well thats not true. He didnt make it this way because of having been shot at. He made it because he loves his iPod (dont we all!) and was fed up of it being crushed in the Japanese subway. Regular cases didnt do the trick, so he made the rather tasty Bullet Proof iPod case.

As can be seen above, it is a huge heavy case which is 5mm thick, made of aliminium and can stop a .22 bullet.
