News@8: iPod Nano 6G design and LoveFilm/MGM deal

iPod Nano case reveals design? It seems with all the talk about the new iPod Touch everyone’s forgotten about a possible revamp of the other music spouting devices that Apple makes. In fact a leaked picture of cases gives a huge hint as to what the new iPod Nano could look like, pointing towards a possible 1.7-inch touchscreen whilst ditching the click-wheel altogether. In other Apple news, the Splashtop remote app is available for iPad and lets you mirror your computer back home over the internet. This means you can edit documents, play music and more importantly watch Flash videos. Finally a video has been released comparing the Samsung Galaxy Tab with the Apple iPad showing just how small Samsung’s tablet is.

44 million people use Facebook iPhone app: Rather than the biblical 100 million users which was previously suggested, Facebook has now clarified that it is only a paltry 44million that use the Facebook application. We are of course being sarcastic, that’s a stupidly high amount considering Apple will had sold 59million iPhones by June this year. In other online news, LoveFilm has signed a deal with MGM which will enable users to stream all the films in MGM’s library, in case you were wondering that’s a rather wonderful 4,100 titles.

 

Philips concept bendy OLED phone: Every now and then a concept comes along that really has us wishing a scientific breakthrough was actually around the corner and not in 10 years time. The Philips Fluid Concept Phone is one of those items. Boasting a fully bendable OLED screen, it functions as a totally normal smartphone, but then when you’re finished you can just wrap it around your wrist. Genius. Finally and back to reality, the Nokia C6 is available on Vodafone. Whilst it can’t bend, and we certainly wouldn’t recommend that you try that, it can boast a full touchscreen, Symbian and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

Engadget China has shown the first images of Fuzhou Rockchip’s new glasses-less 3D media player. Due to be shown at IFA next week and sounding like a failed Gerry Anderson puppet show, the Supernova x1 is rumoured to use a lenticular display to display its 3D content.

Information is still scarce at this point, users are said to able to switch between 2D and 3D displays at the touch of a button, and current rumours say that some ‘processing’ needs to take place, before the footage chosen can be shown in 3D.

Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company are best known for manufacturing the Rockchip, a key component in many media players and smartphones. T3 will be at IFA next week, so make sure to stay tuned to T3.com, the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds for further updates as they happen.
