Want to control all of those racing games on your iPod Touch, then you should pick up this piece of overkill brought to you by Hama. What do you have to do? Just slip your iPod Touch, and possibly your iPhone 3G into the holder, and you got the Wii-esque motion control.
Apple is finally teaming up with Adobe to bring Flash to the iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s not going to be the full-fledged Flash, as it would be too large. It’s also not going to be the Flash Lite, as that would be too small. Nothing has been announced yet, but we look forward to more details in the future.
Today is an exciting day for gamers and iPhone/iPod Touch owners. Scans that the next Metal Gear Solid game from the Japanese magazine Famitsu have come out, and the magazine shows the controls, and even some screens of the game. This has been confirmed from my understanding, and will be slated for release in mid 2009.

For all of you Brothers in Arms fans out there, you can get your fill of the first person shooter this December on the iPod Touch and iPhone. Screens have been released, along with an intro video on Youtube.
The game is set as a third-person WWII shooter. You play as Jason Becker, who is a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division. The game promises 14 missions set out across Normandy, Ardennes, and Tunisia. It also promises the ability to drive a tank (specifically a Sheran Tank). More information is due to be released soon.

Well, Neocrisis has put out a couple of concept pictures about what they think the next iPod Nano will look like. It’s a combination of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano 4G, and is completely touch screen controlled. Looks pretty cool to me, what do you guys think?
What you see before you is supposedly an esploded iPod touch. Tipster Max S. tells us he had the pleasurable experience of having his touch catch on fire between the glass and the components, which can’t have been a fun time for the iPod. The heat managed to burn his desk, and needless to say Max won’t be getting any more use out of the thing. Apple has been kind enough to issue a free replacement, and is apparently going to look into the situation to see how much of an anomaly this is. This is of course “hot” on the heels of that iPod nano incident, and while an exploding iPod situation would be bad enough for Apple and consumers, what we’re really not looking forward to is the inevitable DOT ban on PMPs. Let’s hope these are some isolated incidents, or Apple pays off the right people to hush up about it.
Out of the rumor mill comes the 16GB iPhone, now official. Ever since the 16GB iPod touch was announced in September, we all knew it was just a matter of time until Apple could bung the same NAND capacity into their chubbier iPhone. The surprise is a new 32GB iPod touch for the same $499. No other changes and certainly not 3G. Both are available immediately.
