iPod touch components cost half of the device’s $299 retail price

A recent teardown of the iPod touch by research firm iSuppli suggests that the total cost of components for the 8GB model is $147, or around half of the device’s $299 retail price.

iSuppli’s Andrew Rassweiler believes that the iPod touch will likely serve as a blueprint for future iPods, saying, “We expect the click-wheel versions of the iPod to wane in favor of touch-screen-based models.”

Inside the 8GB iPod touch, iSuppli found around $32 of flash memory chips, supplied by Toshiba, a Samsung-supplied main video-audio chip costing around $13 (along with an additional $12 worth of memory from the chipmaker), and other chips from suppliers including Broadcom, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments.

iSuppli also estimates that the device’s touch screen accounts for nearly $44 of the material cost. Overall, the firm expects sales of the iPod touch to fall in between those of the iPod nano and iPod classic, with Rassweiler saying he expects Apple to sell around 8.5 million touches in the first year.

iPod Touch will outsell the iPod Classic this holiday season

"One of the tougher decisions for gadget buyers this year is which iPod to purchase," Eric Benderoff blogs for The Chicago Tribune.

"The problem is at the high-end, where buyers can choose between Apple's slick iPod Touch ($399 for 16 gigabytes of storage) or the massive capacity of the iPod Classic ($349 for 160 gb of storage)."

Benderoff asks, "It raises a key question, one that I know several people are pondering: do I opt for style or storage?"

"That doesn’t mean the iPod Classic is not stylish in its own right. It has a new software interface, can play movies, show your photos and hold your contacts. Plus, it can double as a back-up hard drive," Benderoff explains.

"But the Classic is not nearly as much fun to use as the iPod Touch which accesses your music at the swipe of a finger"

Benderoff finishes off by saying, "I imagine the iPod Touch will outsell the Classic this holiday season simply because it is so interesting to use and it offers features people will want to try. You can also consider waiting a year, when a bigger iPod Touch is likely to be introduced."

iPod touch shipments delayed due to component shortage

Apple has been hit by shortages in touch-screens, delaying iPod touch production and impacting flash memory prices, a report claims.

Apple has had to delay volume shipments of the iPod touch due to a shortage of touch screen panels, according to a DigiTimes report. The report claims that “Apple originally planned to rapidly grow global shipments up to the year-end holidays.

However, due to the shortage of touch screen panels, volume shipments have been pushed back to this month.” This delay has also affected flash memory prices, which were expected to recover based on strong demand for the iPod touch.

Due to the delay, NAND flash producers were not able to make planned deliveries to Apple, and as a result have had to find other vendors to purchase their products.

So in the long term, the flash market is unlikely to see any price stabilization.

Student Nick Haley’s iPod Touch commercial to air this weekend



A new TV advertisement for the iPod touch, slated to debut this Sunday, is based on a fan commercial created by 18-year-old English student Nick Haley. Haley’s original commercial is set to the song “Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex” by the Brazilian band CSS and showcases the player’s music, videos, photos, Safari, and iTunes abilities.

Mr. Haley said he was inspired to make the commercial by a lyric in the song, "My music is where I'd like you to touch."

He based the visual elements on video clips about the iPod Touch and other new products, which can be watched on the Apple Web site (apple.com). He uploaded his commercial to YouTube and there were around 2000+ views of his video.

Among the viewers were marketing employees at Apple in Cupertino, Calif., who asked staff members on the Apple account at TBWA/Chiat/Day to get in touch with Mr. Haley about producing a professional version of the commercial.

The changes include more polished editing and filming the new version in high definition.[via The New York Times ]

Apple launches official iPhone, iPod touch Web apps directory

Apple has launched an official directory of third-party web applications designed for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. This list of applications is broken down into categories such as “Entertainment”, “News”, “Productivity”, “Social Networking”, and more. Featured applications include Facebook, Digg’s iPhone Application, ESPN PodCenter, and others.

In addition to the directory, which can be found at apple.com/webapps/, Apple is also offering an RSS feed of the most recent additions to the directory. Other links on the page lead to a feedback page, an explanation of web applications and how to use them, and information on how to create and submit your own web application. Somewhat strangely, the directory does not appear to have been optimized for viewing on an iPhone or iPod touch.

How to turn your iPod Touch into a 3G iPhone

"This is the story of how I turned my iPod Touch into a 3G iPhone," Pyrofer writes for PyrofersProjects. "Even better in fact, into a 3.5G full HSDPA iPhone!"

"This technique will work with either an iPod Touch or an iPhone, so there's no more waiting around for Apple to release a 3G iPhone,"Pyrofer writes.

"My idea was to use a Windows Mobile phone as a bridge from 3G to WiFi. Then you could just buy any cheap rubbish Windows phone, stick it in your pocket, and access the net at full 3G speed from a slimline iPod Touch [or iPhone],"Pyrofer reports.

Pyrofer also goes on to say, "I only needed to find out if the WiFi bridge was possible and how to do it. A quick trawl of my favourite sites, and I was in luck! I came across the solution on the XDA Developers Network. It took me a short while to set this up and test it, and suddenly I had my iPod Touch accessing the net at full 3.5G HSDPA speed via the Windows phone in my pocket!"

iTunes 7.4.3 for Windows released with iPod Touch issue fixed

Apple today released iTunes 7.4.3 for Windows, the latest update to the company’s jukebox software. According to the release notes and an Apple support document, iTunes 7.4.3 addresses issues concerning “the initial setup of the iPod touch on some international versions of Windows.”

The issue is that when syncing to a non-English version of Windows XP or Vista, the iPod touch was not activated successfully. The iPod touch would just display the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

The download weighs in at 49MB and is available through Apple’s Software Update utility and from Apple’s website.

iPod touch software v1.1.1 released in iTunes

In addition to updates for both the iPhone and iTunes, Apple today released iPod touch software v1.1.1. The official release notes from Apple, lists only “bug fixes”. However Apple support discussion forum users are reporting that the update attempts to alleviate the “negative black” screen issue.

Also according to an Apple support document, the update may also be connected to iTunes 7.4.3 and issues regarding the initial setup of the iPod touch on some non-English versions of Windows. The update is a 150MB download and is available now through the update feature in iTunes.

How to update iPod touch software to 1.1.1
1. Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed iTunes 7.4 or later from www.apple.com/itunes. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
2. Connect iPod touch to your computer.
3. In iTunes, select iPod touch in the source list and click the Summary tab.
4. Click "Check for Update." iTunes tells you if there's a newer version of the iPod touch software available.
5. Click Update to install the latest version of the software. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update process.

You can verify the software version installed on the iPod touch by choosing Settings > General > About.

iPod Touch Hacking: Apple issues notice

The iPod touch hacking effort seems to have hit a road block with Apple issuing a take down notice to the ISP where the iPod Touch code was being hosted. The story begins with a hardware hacking expert by the name "Martyn", finding an iPod touch whose screen had been smashed, from a lady.

Since the unit was not covered under Apple Care, the lady swapped the dead iPod touch for a nice pretty iPod nano. Martyn took the smashed touch back and extracted its chips.

He was planning to dive in and download every bit of code on it in the increasingly complicated effort to put 3rd party applications on the iPod touch. He wasn't planning on releasing the code to the public, but he did plan to upload the code to a secured area of his site in order to let the other touch hackers have a crack at it.

But even before his upload finished, his ISP showed up, with a takedown notice in hand. Apple had somehow found his site, had contacted his ISP, and let them know that it would be against copyright law for him to upload that code to the Internet.

Martyn wasn't interested in breaking the law (and it would be illegal to share that code), so he pulled the page off. But what's amazing here is how fast Apple moved on this. It seems that they've got someone listening in on the development wiki. [Source:tuaw]

Starbucks to give away free Apple iTunes songs

"Starbucks Corp. plans to give away 50 million free digital songs to customers in all of its domestic coffee houses to promote a new wireless iTunes music service that's about to debut in select markets," Elizabeth M. Gillespie reports for The Associated Press.

"From Oct. 2 to Nov. 7, baristas in the company's more than 10,000 U.S. stores will hand out about 1.5 million 'Song of the Day' cards each day. The cards can be redeemed at Apple Inc.'s online iTunes Store," Gillespie reports. "Thirty-seven artists with featured songs include Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell -- the first two to sign on with Starbucks' Hear Music label -- along with Joss Stone, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Annie Lennox and Band of Horses."

"Also on Oct. 2, Starbucks will start selling iTunes digital release cards that allow a full album of music and bonus material to be downloaded online," Gillespie reports. "Starbucks also will offer a limited-edition reloadable purchasing card that includes two free iTunes downloads when customers register their cards online."

"Earlier this month, Starbucks and Apple announced a partnership that will allow users of Apple's iPhone and new iPod Touch to download songs playing in a Starbucks shop directly to their portable devices," Gillespie reports.

"The coffee chain's icon will light up on the iPhone or iPod Touch whenever a user is within range of a Starbucks shop's Wi-Fi signal. People with the devices -- or a laptop with iTunes software -- will also be able to use the signal for free to browse and buy other iTunes music. The service will launch at 600 Starbucks shops in Seattle and New York on Oct. 2, then roll out in San Francisco in early November," Gillespie reports. "Starbucks plans to have the service up and running in a quarter of its stores by the end of next year and in all U.S. stores with wireless networks by the end of 2009."

Mossberg reviews iPod touch as ‘A great media player’

Walter S. Mossberg from The Wall Street Journal has reviewed the iPod Touch describing it as ‘A great media player’. "Like earlier iPods, the Touch is elegant and capable, and works smoothly with Apple’s free iTunes software for Windows and Macintosh PCs, as well as with its computer-based online iTunes Store, which sells far more downloaded songs and TV shows than any other legal outlet," Mossberg reports.

"Not only that, but the Touch introduces a mobile version of the iTunes store. It’s called the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, and it allows you to buy, right on the iPod, any of six million songs for the same price you’d pay on a computer. This portable store will soon be made available on the iPhone as well."

"For all its beauty and functionality, the Touch has some quirks and downsides. It’s the first iPod model I’ve ever tested that fell significantly short, in my tests, of Apple’s battery-life claims [just under17 hours for music and just over 4 hours for video vs. Apple's claimed up to 22 hours and up to 5 hours]," Mossberg reports.

"In my tests, music and video playback went perfectly, and so did viewing photos. The Wi-Fi functions, including the Web browser, a YouTube video viewer and the new mobile store, also worked perfectly," Mossberg reports.

The most important comments in Mossberg' review is about the iPod Touch display issues that some early iPod touch users have been reporting. Mossberg says, "Also, some early iPod Touch units have had defective screens, where images appeared too dark. Apple says this problem affected a small number of units and is being remedied. My two test units displayed beautiful images."

Apple's new iPod touch "is a great media player, and the iPod remains the best end-to-end portable solution for playing and purchasing music and video," Mossberg reports.

Read the full review here.

iPod Touch home button double-click feature

One of the good feature of the iPod Touch that the iPhone lacks is the ability to double-click the Home or the tactile button to bring the iPod controls.

Pressing the only tactile button on the player twice makes music controls appear over whatever screen mode you happen to be in—Safari, YouTube, or whatever.

Even if the player is locked, double-clicking will bring up a set of music controls that features track information, play/pause, forward and backward within a playlist or album, a Music button to take you directly to the Now Playing screen, and a Close button to escape.

This function works even if the screen has timed out and gone black, and it's a great quick way to skip that song you hate or pump up the volume on the one you love.

iPod touch features multiple keyboards with multi-language support

The iPod Touch keyboard functionality is far more robust & superior than the iPhone’s keyboard.

iPod touch provides keyboards in 14 different languages, and supports the following
keyboard formats:
- QWERTY
- QWERTZ
- AZERTY
- QZERTY
- Japanese IME

In addition, the iPod touch provides the ability to make two or more keyboards available simultaneously. If more than one keyboard is turned on you can tap a special icon to switch keyboards while you’re typing. Apple says “When you tap the symbol, the name of the newly active keyboard appears briefly.”

Another interesting feature is that the iPod touch’s keyboard allows you to quickly type a period by double-tapping the spacebar.

iPod touch also has keyboard dictionaries for English (both U.S. and U.K.), French, and German. If you’re typing on a keyboard set to one of those languages, iPod touch uses the corresponding dictionary to suggest a correction when it appears that you’re
misspelling a word, or to predict the word you’re currently typing. The suggested correction or prediction appears just above or below the word you’re typing.

ezView iPod Touch Leather Case from ezGear

ezView iPod Touch Leather Case from ezGearThe ezView iPod Touch Leather case is result of months of market research and testing to develop the best, most functional case for multimedia devices. ezGear looked at every aspect of the case in designing this new product - Form Factor, Utility, Protection and Useful Extra Features – to develop a case the meets or exceeds your needs.

The slim profile of the leather case reduces extra bulk, while the Velcro band allows the ezView to act as a stylish stand.

With the ezView stand in place, you no longer have to hold your iPod touch in your hand to watch videos or view what is playing. And unlike other manufacturers' products, you never have to remove your music player from the case to access the controls or the data port. Just another example of how ezGear makes things easy.

Features
1. High Grade Leather
2. Clear Screen Protector

iPod touch having display issues

There is a huge forum thread that has been going on for a couple of days now on the Apple support forum where the iPod touch users have been complaining about its display.

The problem that the users are reporting is that the iPod Touch display is having trouble displaying blacks correctly. Their description of the problem goes like these: "negative black effect", "shimmering", "washed-out".

Some of the users claim that simply bringing a defective unit back to an Apple Store will result in an immediate swap. But some have not been so lucky because the stores they bought their iPod touch from, have run out of stock.
