Apple just made a whole slew of iPod-related announcements, with just the faintest hint of gamer love. Revealed during Steve Jobs’ special iPod event, both the revamped iPod nano and the iPod classic will ship with three games: Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike.
I was a little concerned that no mention was made of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit during today’s introduction of the new iPod nano (known as the ‘fatty’ in some circles). Even Apple’s new iPod nano web page doesn’t mention Nike+iPod integration anywhere.
However, skip over to the redesigned Nike+iPod page an you’ll see how the interface has been redesigned to match both the new nano menu system and the Nikeplus website.
It seems as though not much else has changed. There’s no mention of any new features or functionality, and Nike+iPod still only works with the iPod nano (despite the new iPod touch using flash storage).
More to come when I’m able to get my hands on the new nano.
If you’ve already gone out and bought one of the Retro Cassette Wallets I wrote about a few months ago then odds are you’ll also be interested in this matching cassette themed tote bag. But unlike the wallets this bag isn’t made from the shell of an old cassette tape and instead has a printed cassette design on a flexible plastic fabric. (As far as I know there weren’t even professional tape formats that came this large.) I particularly like the added touch of the brown handles that look like unraveled cassette tape.
The Classic Cassette Tote is currently available from Perpetual Kid for a mere $14.99 and hopefully this means that a VHS cassette backpack is just around the corner.
From the kings of stop-motion animation, here’s Monstrom, a new clip by Paul Cummings and Tony Fiandaca (who brought you the excellent Tony vs. Paul). This new clip got animated human hair! Ick!
