I can’t run without being hyped up by music, so I’m glad I’m not a marathon runner. After being declared the winner of Milwaukee’s 26.2-mile (42km) Lakefront marathon, Jennifer Goebel was stripped of the title because she…used an iPod.
While leaving video out of the iPod touch had everyone up in arms, nobody expected Apple to add a camcorder to the shuffle. Leave it to the Chinese to fill that enormous void with the Mini MP3 DV Cam.
OK, so Apple didn’t have to do anything with this, but it doesn’t matter. When Big Bird and Elmo get all funky funk with an iPod dance video, you know that the only innocent thing left is Xmas. Maybe.
Apple claims their latest 32/64GB iPod touch is 50% faster than the old iPod touch. Macworld tested the claim, and they found the new touch is certainly close to that benchmark, even if a bit short in some testing.
