Veering away from tradition of having the events on Tuesdays, Apple’s September music event is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept 9, 2009. The venue is yet to be announced but according to the Digital Daily it’s sure to push through.

Apple’s September event is usually a music centered event. Last year saw the launch of iTunes 8 with the Genius feature, the 4th Gen iPod Nano a.k.a Nanochromatic, the 2nd gen iPod Touch. What will Apple pull out of it’s proverbial magic hat this year and will it’s number 1 magician be the one to perform …read more

Industry speculation indicates that Apple’s 5th generation iPod Nano may be released next month. 3rd-party vendor Uxsight was apparently given a mockup of the new Nano’s design, and has already released a silicone case for the new hardware, far in advance of Apple’s release date. Uxsight’s case includes an elliptical hole in the back, which looks like it’s made to accommodate a built-in camera.

Uxsight’s website indicates that the Nano 5G is not expected to include any other major design changes from the 4th generation model, with a 1.5:1 screen on the front and the familiar click wheel for navigation. Keep …read more

Let me first explain that this isn’t anything exclusive to Everyjoe’s Electronics section or even myself for that matter. This is simply a contest being sponsored by a syndicate through Total Assault PR and The Rock Dose , a music blog that I also write for.
The contest is for an iPod Nano from the band 16 Frames who is releasing their rock album Where It Ends today,  March 24th. In celebration of the release they are giving away a decked out Nano with the album already on it and the band’s logo engraved on the back of it. All you …read more

My previous post asked the question “Will Apple’s Lets Rock, Rock?”. Now that the event has passed, in my personal opinion, it slightly did. Barely.
Maybe I was not really feeling it anymore or maybe I was just expecting too much but the event really didn’t excite me as much as previous Apple events. However it wasn’t bad. It was ok, just not kickass.
Steve talked about several things during the event. First was iTunes 8. The next major version of iTunes. It’s available for download here. What new things does iTunes offer? Here are some of them, Genius playlists, availability of …read more

Lia over at Gadgenista wrote a post entitled “If You Were To Buy An iPod” and I thought I’d give my two cents on this.
If you were to buy an iPod there are things you need to ask yourself. First is, what do I want to do with my iPod or how will I use it? How much storage to I really need? Which iPod will fit my budget?
Anyone asking me for advice as to what iPod to get, I always answer back, what do you want the iPod for? Will it be primarily for listening to music? …read more

“Pretty In Pink” that’s what appears on some of the ads of the newly released Pink iPod Nano. Apple added a new color to its third generation iPod Nano line. They say it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The 8GB line-up of the iPod Nano gains a new color. It’s still the same spec’d iPod just a little bit girly.

GelaSkins are thin protective covers for your Mac laptops, iPods, iPhones, etc. I’ve heard about them before but saw them again on Dave Cross’ blog.
I’ve been wary of actually using protective cases for my MacBook Pro, except for sleeves and bags but to put something that will be more or less on it for the duration of it’s life is something that I wasn’t sure I’d like to do. The main reason being that it actually destroys the aesthetics of the MacBook Pro. I like the design very much and as much as possible to not want to add to …read more

I wrote a blog entry asking if the iPod has affected your hearing and in my case I think it has to a certain extent. By coincidence I was reading the article of David Pogue and he mentioned iHearSafe. This is a set of earphones that will automatically regulate the volume of the music you’re listening to. No matter how high you crank up the volume.
iHearSafe can be used on any audio device. This device is especially beneficial to kids. Since they still have relatively healthy hearing, they will benefit the most from this.
At $20 a pop, this is a …read more
