New iPod nano out next week

Sabena Suri, CNET News.com | Aug 01, 2007

Although some of us are pretty sick of everything iPod, especially because we can't exactly afford to chuck red BlackBerry Pearl out the window and pick up an iPhone, Apple is allegedly coming out with a new product--what else is new?

Gizmodo is reporting that this time Apple's releasing the revamped iPod nano next week. The flash-based device is allegedly going to be called the iPod Touch. The price, according to the blog, will range from US$300 for the 4GB and US$400 for the 8GB.

Honestly, the new iPod nano (if it looks anything like the projected image) is going to be cute and bubbly, but it definitely won't take the spotlight from its much sexier, sophisticated cousin, the iPhone.

However, rumor has it that a new iPhone-like-six-gen iPod (with a touchscreen interface) is set for release early next year, Gizmodo reports. We'll just have to wait and see.

Armani phone: Where geek meets chic

Sabena Suri, CNET News.com | Jul 25, 2007

Walking into an upscale boutique, one is bombarded with all things designer--clothes, shoes, handbags, and even makeup. As if all those objects of temptation weren't enough, Armani has reportedly teamed up with Samsung to design a cell phone that will appeal to label fiends everywhere.

Armani has not released an official statement on the phone. But The Korea Herald, citing an unnamed Samsung representative, is reporting that plans are in the works and the phone will likely be released in Europe this October. However, "the two companies have not signed a contract yet," the story said.

Armani's phone is expected to feature "exclusive content" and, presumably, a sleek design. But, if the price is anything like Prada's US$650-some phone, why not opt for an iPhone for either US$500 or US$600?

Regardless, Armani's plan to team up with Samsung, which worked with Bang & Olufsen in the past, may prove to be a smart strategy for the company. Rumor has it, according to the story, that Armani and Samsung also plan to create a line of TVs, another way to marry designer chic with tech geek.
