Other than updating the iPod shuffle and iPod touch, Apple has also refreshed the iPod nano, The new iPod nano 6G (2010 model) has a design similar to the shuffle, getting a built-in clip and a ultra small form factor. The new sixth gen iPod nano has given up the click wheel control pad and the camera we found on iPod nano 5G, instead it gets a 1.54-inch 240×240 multitouch LCD display, dedicated volume buttons and a sleep/wake button.



The iPod nano 6G is equipped with an accelerometer sensor and FM radio and supports VoiceOver. It has an icon-based UI that is very similar to that of iOS. It is compatible with Nike +. Available in silver, charcoal, blue, green, yellow, pink and PRODUCT (RED), the 8GB model costs $149 and the 16GB model is priced ta $179.

Although it sounds little absurd of doing so, as the iPhone is meant to be portable but it isn’t impossible. The Ion iType is just the right gear that you need to transform your iPhone into a full computer QWERTY. More of this gadget »

I’m not certain why we have not covered Sound Trends before, but whatever the case, I think everyone needs to know about this sound mixing app designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I saw a demonstration of this product at CES, and the President, Aaron Higgins, was able to create a simple continuous beat by mixing some other beats together. As he says, “it is always a happy accident” to see what you get. I would have to agree with him.

Some versions of this app are available for free, while advanced ones will “cost ya”. For more information, check out the Sound Trends site.

Looking for a mini speaker to accompany you and your iPod to let you blast your tunes on the run? Here comes an iPod speaker designed like a miniature classic amplifier for an electric guitar.

This Mini Amp iPod speaker features a full-range 5-watt driver, it comes with three control knobs for volume, treble and bass, similar to what are found on its on-stage cousins. It can go fully portable by powering it with three AA batteries, which are not included.

It plugs to any MP3 player’s headphone jack and can be connected to the USB port of your computer for blasting tunes and powered by USB directly. It’s great gift for under $20, for your loved ones for Christmas

Multi-purpose adapters aren’t anything new, but it’s often the simplest of the bunch that prove most useful. Take this bugger for instance, which is little more than a vanilla 3-port USB hub connected to an iPhone / iPod dock connector port. The purpose for its existence? To prevent you from having to haul Apple’s flimsily built charging cable and a USB hub with you each time you scurry out, and to just generally make your time on this planet entirely more enjoyable. Now if only it could recharge our prototype Volt that we’ve secretly got hiding in the Engadget Garage, we’d really be able to extol the $14.99 asking price.

Since it is December, I would be remiss in my duties as a Mobilewhack blogger if I did not report on any gadget that would make an excellent gift for the holidays. Such is the case for the DLO Walldock, a very minimalist iPod and iPhone dock that just plugs into the wall, so your iPod/iPhone can rest on it.

Just in time for the holidays, and is available for a low price of $24.99. You can get the DLO WallDock at the DLO website.
