The gamers will get a game on iPod that is Desktop Tower Defense. The game is very simple and alluring. Cheap iPods are very difficult to get. Under this game a series of creatures is trying to get from left to right side in the playing field. The concept is taken from the Hordes of Orcs for the Mac. The game responds according to expectation. We can zoom in and out with various iPods.

The technique and graphics are fabulous in Desktop Tower Defense. The graphics are attractive but lacking in sound. All the users are very happy in getting innovative games but they need cheap iPods for them to use. The game consists of several enemies which gamers kill and get points.

Apple refreshed its iPod line in the market. The company is coming up with cheap iPods. The world’s smallest digital music player that is of 1GB iPod lets the users to download 240 songs on their sleeve or on your belt also. The battery life is up to 12 hours and connectivity is done with USB. The weight is 0.55 ounce only.

Apple is launching new and cheap iPods with accessories like earphones and dock. This is classic with the new search feature. The masterpiece is just 6mm thick and 1.5 inch color display that is brighter than before. Hope Apple will not let consumers down.

Fans don’t like it, but changes are often required with even the best of these devices. We identified two significant component changes in the iPod touch. First is the manufacturer of the NAND Flash memory. The 8-GB iPod touch contains Micron NAND Flash. Previously the memory was being supplied by Samsung, while the iPhone 3G is using Toshiba.

Other than the memory, the inclusion of the Broadcom BCM4325 is seemingly notable. This is a low-power 802.11 a/b/g with Bluetooth 2.1 + enhanced data rate (EDR) and an FM receiver. This device provides the wireless connectivity to access Web sites, iTunes and apps store, and communicate with accessories like the Nike+ iPod Sensor (which does not need the Sports Kit when used with the second-generation iPod touch).

Apparently, Apple has not indicated that the iPod touch even had Bluetooth functionality. And though the Broadcom device has the capability, there are not, as yet, any applications to take advantage of this feature.

In an event hosted by the consumer electronics publication T3 and sponsored by personal navigation device (PND) manufacturer Garmin Ltd, the new  Pod touch was named gadget of the year.
There were 15 categories in the 2008 Garmin T3 Gadget Awards, most with humorous titles such as: Gadget You Can  Live Without, Drop-Dead Gorgeous Award, Best Gadget Candy and the prized Gadget of the Year. Apple  iPhone also won Commuter Gadget of the Year.

Another big winner was Sony Corp. Sony  XEL-1 organic light emitting diode (OLED) television won Innovation of the Year, its Sky high-definition (HD) box won Home Gadget of the Year and its PlayStation 3 game console took home the High Def Award. Nintendo  Wii Fit game took home the Best Gaming Gadget title, while video game Guitar Hero III won Toy of the Year. TomTom  G930 won the navigation category. Kudos!!

The companies are making efforts of fulfilling the promise made by them. Samsung has launched S3 among the rows of iPod. It is offering neon light which allures iPod lovers. The S3 is available in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. S3 is very easy to handle. Having different laudable features, there are some factors that were annoying the customers.

The users can  make lists of songs like they can with iPod. As for sound, the S3 offers fine audio. The company was thinking that it will be a banana for the users. The packaged headphones were low in quality which decreased the interest of users in music.

Serif Ltd. has launched a new version of digital video editing program in the market under the name of Movie Plus X3. The software offers ways to create movies and slide shows on personal computers and new interface allows editing in it. Other impressive features are animating text and Great New Effects, which offer quick accessibility with a gallery of special effects and audio adjustment. This can be done on computer but not on iPod.

There are ample of quality of creating videos, attaching images as well as video clipping. Zooming and other effects can also be included but techie lovers want it on iPod too. The market for iPod speaker players is crowded but companies were unable to surfeit their demands.

Griffin technology has now announced Simplifi, a desktop device that combines functions of an iPod, USB hub, and media card reader. iPods can be docked and charged with the Simplifi, and two additional USB 2.0 ports are available for other devices.

 Other digital media cards support is Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, SD, SDHC, XD and Compact Flash. This features an aluminum case, and also includes an AC adapter for charging devices that require a power packed port. iPod sync is provided through a USB mini cable available now for $70 from Griffin and other stock holders. These features make an iPod costly and techno based.

Apple is expected to show more cut offs for maintaining its monopoly in iPod industry especially in iPod music players. Although Apple is offering many benefits for consumers but more R&D and innovation is still required in the product so as to make it different from any other iPod available in the market nowadays.

An analyst at American Technology Research, Shaw Wu, told in his studies that iPods needs more technological advancement. They are costing higher than iPhones, which includes a cell phone and other features which are not included in the Touch. The Internet-ready iPod Touch starts at $299 in the United States as compared with $199 for an iPhone.
