A company called David Steele Enterprises has recently announced the launch of iBreath, which is a fully functioning digital alcohol breathalyzer. That’s right, folks- this little gizmo not only transmits your music wirelessly to your car stereo, it also tells you if you are drunk enough not to drive. The iBreath actually makes some sense. Knowing your Blood Alcohol Content before you drive could potentially prevent an arrest or accident.

The iBreath has a slightly limited range, measuring BAC from 0.000 – 0.100%, but for its intended purpose that should be plenty. The iBreath is also a tad on the expensive side, retailing at $79. Compare that to the iTrip and a keychain breathalyzer and you might be paying a premium for novelty. The device does not require batteries as it draws power from your Apple iDevice of choice. But for the times when you don’t have your iPod or iPhone handy, it comes with a 12V car plug to use the breathalyzer.

All the buzz later, there are speculations that Apple is preparing to launch a 'nano' version of the iPhone. Talk of an iPhone Nano began several months ago, and in August, photos began circulating of an expected iPhone Nano with a 2.75-inch screen
 
Apple is selling the iPhone through Best Buy, and is reportedly about to sell it through Wal-Mart, means that cost will soon cease to be as much of a barrier to adoption as it has been. Some bloggers have speculated that Apple might unveil the iPhone Nano at Macworld next month, but that looks unlikely given the company's recent decision to pull out of Macworld and the likelihood that Steve Jobs won't give his customary keynote speech.

It has sure started to get cold, so you'll want to bundle up before you head out into that winter weather. Unfortunately, as soon as you slip on just about any pair of gloves, your nearly frozen fingers cease to work with the click wheel on your Apple iPod. The "click" still works, but the "scroll" does not. Allowing you to keep your paws warm and operate your favorite portable music player are these new gloves from tavo. They appear to be just as effective for keeping your hands nice and warm, but unlike nearly every other set of gloves on the market, these have been designed to work just fine with the touch-sensitive click wheel on your iPod.

I can't say for sure, but if these gloves are iPod-friendly, I fathom that they would also work with other touch-sensitive devices and items with touch screens, like the Apple iPhone or any myriad of Samsung MP3 players. Those usually don't work when you're wearing gloves, because of the technology involved.

Disruptive mobile Voice over IP specialist, Truphone, has recently illustrated just how easy it's becoming to turn - at first sight unpromising - connected devices into phones to bypass the established mobile call market. Truphone's latest wheeze is to adapt Apple's iPod Touch with a microphone add-on and some client software.

Truphone offers voice-over-IP calling for Symbian mobiles and, latterly, the iPhone, by exploiting the WiFi embedded in them. When users are within reach of a WiFi hotspot they can make and even receive VoIP calls - a sort of do-it-yourself fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) option. The whole array is becoming more refined with the addition of an on-line presence feature, so that Truphone users can see when each other happen to be bonded to WiFi and can make a direct VoIP call. Truphone has also today announced that the presence feature is being supported on the iPhone.  Lots of devices to cover, so little time and resource to do it in

David Steele Enterprises has announced the availability of iBreath, a Cutting-Edge iPod Accessory meant to prevent arrests and save lives.
The iBreath is the ultimate iPod accessory that lets users test their own blood alcohol content to make sure they haven't had too much drink before getting behind the wheel to drive. This cool device is a fully functioning alcohol breathalyzer, which also doubles as an FM transmitter that wirelessly sends your iPod tunes to any FM receiver. This useful accessory will make a great holiday gift and is offered at an introductory price of $79.00.

Apple has been picking the catchiest songs for its iPod commercials. The latest iPod touch spot is no exception; the accompanying track is, “Around the Bend” by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. But how do certain songs end up being chosen from the multitude to represent Apple’s products? As you might rather suspect two words: Steve Jobs. In an interview with Songfacts, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's Lars Iversen explained how their track came to represent the funniest iPod ever.
We have this company working for us in the States called Synch, and they got in touch with Apple. I think they had this meeting with Steve Jobs himself, and he picked that song out of the bunch and said, “This is it, this is the new track for the iPod Touch.” Apparently he just loved that track, but we never saw it as one of our singles. We have some other songs that we thought would be great singles, and that would work cool on for the radio, but he really loved that song.

New software has been developed by Polo Planet Software as iMage Phone 1, which is an update to their wallpaper maker and image manager for iPhone and iPod Touch. This software is developed specifically for Apple’s iPhone and has adaptable graphics editor and wallpaper creation tool for the desktop. Users can crop and resize any image according to their wish for their iPhone’s display.

The software also includes iPhoto and Address Book integration thus, allowing automatic creation of backgrounds from any iPhoto library. Wallpapers can be emailed, saved and organized in the Gallery Folders or transferred to the iPhone. iMagePhone is available as both free and Pro versions. iMagePhone Pro Edition has more advanced editing tools than the free edition.

Griffin Simplifi is a USB connector for Apple’s iPhone and iPod and offers a Flash memory card reader. This device consolidates a USB card reader and iPod dock into a single device. It does not allow exchange of files between Flash cards and the iPod. It is expensive but it may still appeal to the style conscious public.

The block of curved aluminum and white plastic that makes the look of Griffin Simplifi does a nice job of making it at par with Apple’s Mac line-up. There is a universal dock on top of Griffin Simplifi which is compatible with Apple’s iPod and iPhone (including the iPhone 3G). To ensure the device plugs in the iPod, six pop-out plastic adapters have been provided with Griffin Simplifi.

The recent second generation iPod Touch doesn’t have the shiny new Google Maps Features but the best part is that it has a faster processor than even the high iPhone 3G. The current iPod Touch has a processor with the speed of 532MHz as reported by Thomas Fesler, CEO of Handheld Games Corp.

The upgrade in the processor speed of the current iPod Touch is that from 412MHz on which the original iPod Touch and all iPhones run on. There are hardware based performance differences between the earlier version and the latest upgraded version. TouchSports Tennis had a varying performance of their game on each of the four devices that were powered by OS X Touch. Nevertheless, the current iPod Touch is fastest of the lot.

As big publishers like EA, Sega and others have come out with iPhone OS version games, Apple has also been pushing forward iPhone and iPod touch as mobile gaming platforms. To continue the runaway, SGN has announced iFun, a new service. Its best feature is that it turns an iPhone and iPod touch into a Wii-like controller.

With the help of an accelerometer in both Apple devices, the games can work at their best. In short terms, to define an iFun, it is an app that converts iPhone or iPod Touch device to MMO gaming device through the internet to which the user is connected. Users can play these games on the phone itself or with other people over the internet through the WiFi connection.
