A Week With the New iPods
After spending seven days living with our new iPods, we’re gonna let them stay. As far as media-slinging sidekicks go, they’re pretty good. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
iPod Touch: Multimedia Life-Partner
It’s easy to say that the new iPod Touch is the best iPod Touch ever. (It is.) It is un-possibly thin—so thin that you release a slow gasp as you peel it out of its snug acrylic womb. The way the polished chrome back bends space around it renders it thinner still, like you’re holding a screen imprinted into the air in front of you. (At least, until it’s scuffed and scratched and nicked into reality.) You only get a true sense of its dimensions when you plug it in for the first time: It’s exactly thick enough to accommodate the holes for a dock connector and headphones.
Review: The New iPod Nano
Well this does not need to be said, but Apple make some of the coolest products, here is the review.
Apple’s iPod nano 2010 is a good MP3 player. It’s tiny, the battery seems to last forever, and it has a great user interface.
This is the best pure music player out there right now, thanks to the combination of its physical specs and user interface. It may not be the prettiest—it reminds me of some Chinese generic MP3 player designs—but the combination of its hardware and user interface make it a winner for anyone in search of a simple, ultra-compact, no-complex-apps-or-games-needed, extremely-easy-to-operate music player. Especially sports people.

Access Locked Levels in Angry Birds Early Via Hack with VIDEO
I found this, and just had to share this. It’s really easy the only issue I had both before and after the hack, is I just can not put this game down. …
Well, folks, It’s that time where a popular game eventually has its exploits exposed to the world. This isn’t really a game breaking glitch (In fact, you can even make the argument that it’s game making.), but with a bit of trickery and a lot of tapping, you can apparently unlock the second and third set of levels on Angry Birds without having to finish Poached Eggs. Our good friend Kellex from Droid-Life shows us how to do just that in this video. The instructions, which can be found below (and reproduced in the video) are pretty straightforward and should be easy enough for anyone cheap enough to do this.

T-Mobile G2 OTA Rolling Out, Brings WiFi Calling?
Well that was quick! Just six days after its official launch, there have been reports of a T-Mobile G2 OTA update rolling out this morning.
