Yesterday, at Google I/O, Google announced the latest extension of its empire, Google TV.

This technology could potentially revolutionize television, as it opens the door to many possibilities by  implementing the web into your TV screen with just a simple “Box.”

For a myriad of information on this new technology, make sure to stop by here.

We’ve been pretty slow on keeping you all up-to-date recently, so a quick apology for that. There are some big things in the works for later on this year and I’m working hard to get these new features up-and-running. Now back to the news:

• Apple updated its desktop line today, bring hardware updates to the Mac mini (long overdue), iMac, and Mac Pro. Most of these updates deal with detailed specifications on hardware (processor, hard drive, graphics, etc), so check out Apple.com for all the details.
• Amazon launched the “Kindle for iPhone” application yesterday, bringing almost all the features of a $359 device for FREE. Users cannot purchase books directly from the app and subscriptions are not automatically updated, but users can get their full Kindle library on the device and purchase books via the Safari Mobile browser on the phone and get them directly on the device. Basically, users have a fully loaded Kindle (without subscriptions and the controversial text-to-speech features) on the iPhone, something almost everyone has been waiting for.

So that’s the news everybody. Again, apologies for being pretty slow recently, but we’re working on big things, so stay tuned.

Enjoy!

Not only does the new iPod touch feature an incredibly gorgeous, even slimmer design, but the new touch has a built-in speaker with dedicated volume control for you to rock out loud–Steve Jobs admits they are definitely not meant for audiophiles though.

Along with those updates, the new touch has the Nike+ chip built-in for use with the shoe sensor and includes a good looking Nike+ application (the software, however, does not work with the old iPod touch nor either iPhone models).

One thing can be said about the device, they have called it as a head-on challenge to Nintendo as a portable gaming device and “the funnest iPod ever.” It’s on gaming companies, Apple has thrown the first punch!

Even if we were certain of the new iPod nano, Steve Jobs officially pumping it out always makes us feel a whole lot better. Featuring a form factor similar to the previous tall iPod nano, the new fourth generation iPod nano features a new curved body, along with a new curved glass screen. The new nano features a user interface change which looks pretty fantastic along with some new colors to choose from. Well, some doesn’t really make it a big enough word. Count ‘em, the new nano comes in nine colors. We call it the nano rainbow, Apple calls it “nano-chromatic”, but the new nano is definitely not color prejudice. An 8GB version is available for a cool $149, while a 16GB version rocks a $199 price tag.

Engadget posted a picture of the rumored fourth-generation iPod nano that Kevin Rose called around two weeks ago. The picture does look pretty real, however it is blurry. MacNN received a blurred version of the photo just a few hours before Engadget got the real one. Whether this is just the work of a Photoshop magician or an actual product, we won’t be able to tell until the man in the black turtleneck comes out at 10:00 am next Tuesday, the 9th.

Well the invitations have been sent, there is an Apple event on September 9th just as rumored. It looks like iPods will be the name of the game, considering there is always an iPod refresh around this time (and the invitation is definitely the iPod style.) Hoepfully, Steve will throw in some new notebooks in the “one more thing…” I guess we’ll all see soon. September 9th, 10:00 am, get ready.

Rumors have been spreading out around numerous websites that the iPhone 3G will get a (RED) makeover just in time for the holidays.  Could it also be joined by a 32GB upgrade for the iPhone 3G and a 64GB upgrade for the iPod Touch?

 A recent patent filed by Apple seems to portray that they will launch a fitness application that not only gives you a fitness routine perfected for your specific height, weight, and  other fitness preferences, but ties in to your digital lifestyle as well (aka your Mac, iPod, iPhone, etc.) Apparently the iPhone or iPod touch would act as a main part of the routine by showing you your schedule and overall acting as your ‘physical trainer.’ After answering tons of questions, filling out some personal and physical information, and giving some preferences to what activities you prefer, Apple’s program will dish out a specific schedule for your needs and show your plan and how you will reach your ‘physical goal.’ The filing also hints at some accessories, as well. It seems that Apple’s dab into the fitness market could be a good thing for everyone. Considering that the obesity rating in the US has risen drastically, and Apple tends to do very well in the markets that it joins, Apple’s look into exercising and fitness could raise awareness of peoples’ health and get everyone into shape.
