Apple also used the “Let’s talk iPhone” event to announce updates to the iPod touch and iPod nano. What’s on tap for the world’s most popular line of music players? Nothing big, really.

For most of us, the golden age of console gaming came slithering in during the 90s. Yeah, most of us were all satisfied torturing our nimble, blistered fingers to ravage a multitude of level bosses.

Remember the Apple Peel 520, the case that magically turns your iPod touch into an “iPhone”? Well it’s started selling in China, so it shouldn’t take long before it ships everywhere else. That’s good news for you if you own an old iPod touch. Why? Because for around $60, the Apple Peel 520 packs an extra battery, dock connector, and its own SIM slot that’ll allow you to make calls and send text messages using your old touch. Totally handy if you’re looking to get more mileage out of your old device. You’re going to need to jailbreak it first though, since you’re going to need to install the necessary phone-function apps that Apple might not necessarily approve of.
