Camera Upgrades: The iPod Touch will also feature an upgraded camera, though not as powerful as the cameras found inside the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. Fortunately, the new 5-megapixel iSight camera will include the same 5-element lens and crystal sapphire lens cover built into the new iPhone 5. Also, like the iPhone 5, the new iPod Touch’s FaceTime HD camera will capture 720p video. (Photo via Engadget) source

The new iPod features a 2.5-inch multi-touch screen and will be available in seven different colors (aluminum, black, purple, green, blue, yellow and red) (Photo via Engadget) source

Magnets and an iPod Nano are all it takes to make a tiny music player part of your body: It’s not for everyone, and we’re not just talking about the video above. Dave Hurban implanted magnets in his skin to hold the iPod in place, much like a wristwatch. But why, WHY would someone ever do this to themselves? “I just thought it would be cool,” Hurban said. Unfortunately for Hurban, it’ll be harder for him to upgrade his Nano the next time around, especially if Apple changes its style — like, you know, it does nearly every single year. source
Apple to offer to replace first-gen iPod Nanos: Wow, just in time. Six years after the product first came out. Good work, Apple!

We sense a meme coming on. The level of annoyance that 8-year-old Alexander Wright has about being forced to use his iPod while being stuck in the airport is epic. We want to let this kid to know that it gets better. You will get to Florida someday. (Thanks Adam Griffiths) source
