Neuer iPod touch mit FaceTime, Retina Display, HD Video und A4 Chip

Apple today announced the new iPod touch, packed with incredible new features including Apple’s stunning Retina display, FaceTime video calling, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 chip, 3-axis gyro, iOS 4.1 and Game Center—all combined in the thinnest and lightest iPod touch ever.

Besonders spannend dürfte die zukünftige Verbreitung von FaceTime auf dem neuen iPod touch sein. Ohne Mobilfunkvertrag. Ohne monatliche Kosten. Und als populärste mobile Spielkonsole (mehr verkaufte Einheiten als Sony und Nintendo zusammen!).

Auch frisch geschlüpft: Der neue ansteckbare iPod nano ohne Click Wheel und der iPod shuffle mit Click Wheel.

Doom Classic for the iPhone

Now there’s an official port from Id Software, which — thanks to John Carmack himself — should have better controls and graphics. Let the download begin.

BlackBerry App World starts this month in Europe

Don’t forget that all rival app stores only inhaled existing applications, while Apple let developers build new ones for our new iPhones and iPod touches. Smells like old fish for me.

RIM’s App World now has about 2,000 applications, which will be available this month to users in Italy, France, Germany and Spain, Jeff McDowell, vice president of global alliances, said in an interview.
