Next-gen iPod nano chassis hints at camera?

Here’s yet another juicy leak from China to go with your breakfast. Delivered by the same folks who brought us the sixth-gen iPod nano display module leak , this time we have what appears to be a chassis for the next touchscreen nano. According to Apple.pro , the circular hole at the top right is likely to house a little camera, which would bring back the good old days with the camera-donning fifth-gen nano

Diamond-encrusted Lunatik iPod nano watch is as superfluous as it sounds

If you’re the type of person who has 99 problems, a satisfactory wristwatch being one, feast your lustful eyes on this diamond -encrusted abomination. ZShock has managed to work its magic — $18,000 worth, to be precise — on a Lunatik iPod nano watch , with the end result being something that we’d hardly recommend being caught dead with. Of course, those who’d disagree vehemently are going to need a magic number in order to procure one, but those who are just curious can peek the source link below for a bit of wrist-on action

SRS Labs iWow for iDevices: now with 3D!

SRS Labs pushed out the iWow adapter a couple of years ago to give your iDevice more sonorous tones, and now is has released a new product: the iWow 3D, for your audial enjoyment. SRS’s latest offering still promises to “effectively and naturally restore the audio cues that are buried” in your music — which seems a bit like a Rumplestiltzkin proposition to us — through an included dongle and the free iWow app.

Apple patent application suggests yet more possible gestures for iPods

Apple’s already put some basic gesture controls to use on its sixth generation iPod nano , but a recently published patent application suggests that it may have some grander designs for a no-look interface of sorts. As you can see above, Apple’s using a nano in its illustrations for the patent, but the actual claims suggest that the gestures wouldn’t necessarily require a screen at all — possibly for something similar to that back-side interface that also turned up in an Apple patent application? As for the gestures themselves, they’d apparently involve things like a single tap to pause or play, a double tap to skip forward, a triple tap to skip back, and a circular motion to control the volume

TikTok and LunaTik iPod nano watch kits look awesome, despite Ke$ha naming convention

We know it seems like everyone and their mom is turning Apple’s latest iPod nano into a watch , but the TikTok and LunaTik concepts by Scott Wilson of Minimal Studios are definitely the best looking “iWatch” accessories we’ve seen to date. We say concept, because technically the products are still pipe dreams flowing through the funding platform Kickstarter.com — but seeing as it has already doubled its requested funding goal, there’s a very good chance these concepts will actually ship out. The TikTok features a simple snap-in design for quick wrist-mounting and is tentatively priced at $35

iPod nano review — as a watch

iPod nano watchbands — they’re everywhere! Seriously, ever since Steve Jobs said that an unnamed Apple board member jokingly planned to wear the new nano as a watch, we’ve seen all shapes and sizes of wristbands designed to put the diminutive media player on your wrist, ranging from the super-basic to the super-silly to the super-amazing.

Keepin’ it real fake: iPod nano doesn’t need a logo, thank you

To be honest, this took a little longer than expected. The above faux iPod nano is a pretty decent copy, lookswise, anyway

PCD’s $99 wireless streaming adapter will beam iOS or older-gen iPod nano content onto your TV

In case you’ve got some fundamental issue with Apple’s upcoming AirPlay , or just a fifth-gen iPod nano you’re unwilling to part with, here’s a handy little adapter for you. Produced by Cywee and likely to be sold for around $99 by PCD in the US, this RF streamer plugs straight into your iDevice’s dock connector and then beams video, pictures, games and the like over to its nearby base station, which in turn hooks up to your television by a set of RGB cables. Any app that utilizes Apple’s video output API is a candidate for having its visuals sent over, though resolution is unfortunately capped at 480p and you’ll need line of sight at a distance of no more than 15 feet for everything to work correctly
