Apple updates entire iPod range

Apple has announced its new iPod line up, including the new touch 4G with its advanced Retina display; the new, redesigned nano 6G with multi-touch capabilities; and the new shuffle 4G, once again available with buttons.

NEW iPod touch
Now users can see friends while they talk to them with FaceTime; shoot, edit and share HD video and play games against friends or unknown foes with the new Game Center. And all on the Retina display - the highest-resolution screen on any mobile device.

NEW iPod nano 
Redesigned for music and Multi-Touch, iPod nano is smaller and lighter than ever. Users can clip it to their sleeve, jacket or running shorts and keep their favourite songs at their fingertips - along with the Genius feature, a built-in FM radio, pedometer and more. The anodised aluminium finish comes in six bright colours.

NEW iPod shuffle
Introducing the new, colourful, clip-and-go iPod shuffle. Its buttons give users an easy way to play music. With a press of the VoiceOver button, they can hear the song’s title and artist, playlist menu, or battery status. And it holds hundreds of songs, multiple playlists, and Genius Mixes.

So long, and thanks for the iPad!

Researcher Jack Kassewitz of SpeakDolphin is using the iPad's touchscreen technology as a tool to enable Merlin the dolphin to communicate with his trainer and researchers.

The ultimate goal according to Kassewitz is to develop a complete language interface between humans and dolphins.

The first step has been to show normal real-life objects to Merlin like a ball or a rubber duck, and have him use his beak to touch corresponding photos on the iPad screen. This seems to be child's play to Merlin but these are just baby steps. Source

iPhone 4 arrives June 24

Apple appears to have got it right with the new iPhone 4 and delivered most (if not all) of what users wanted. Key features are:

FaceTime: Video calling is a reality. Users can now see family and friends while they talk to them. No other phone makes staying in touch so much fun
Retina display: 960 by 640 by Wow. With a remarkable 960-by-640 resolution in a 3.5-inch screen, text and graphics look unbelievably crisp and sharp
Multitasking: Give everything your undivided attention. Multiple apps can be used at the same time - without sacrificing performance or battery life
HD video recording: Life looks better in HD. iPhone 4 lets users record and edit stunning HD video. So it’s the only phone - and the only camera - they need to carry
