Is Apple planning to add a camera to the next-gen iPod nano? According to the images shared by Apple.pro, they might be. According to the post, the photographed nano prototype features the same compact square case, but with a noticeable hole at the back that’s filled with a mobile camera’s bits and pieces.
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 the iPod touch, they announced lower prices and a new white variant, while the iPod nano got a number of interface tweaks along with lower prices.
Sony looks all set to enter the high-end portable media player market taken up by Apple’s iPod touch and Samsung’s Galaxy Players. They just announced the Walkman NW-Z1000 series, a PMP that sports a 4.3-inch screen with a 600 x 640 resolution and an Android 2.3 operating system.
Samsung already pulled out a number of interesting products during IFA late last week, but they didn’t stop with the new tablets, phones, and well… this tabet-phone hybrid-type thing. They also pulled out this little number: a smaller version of their mobile media player line called the Galaxy Wi-fi 3.6 that rocks a smaller 3.65-inch LCD screen, which makes for a more affordable device compared to the existing AMOLED-sporting Galaxy Wi-fi 4.0 and 5.0 devices.
We had no idea Sony was even working on this one, but hey, here they are, and they’re very close to launch. Photos and details – including prices – for Sony’s Video Walkman NWZA865 just popped up on UK retailer Play.com’s site, showing a device that’s going to rock a 3.4-inch OLED touchscreen and talents that include wireless file sharing and music streaming.
