New iPods announced!

5 09 2007

Apple announced their latest additions to the iPod line…

The iPod Touch and the iPod Classic are the only “new” models, per se, but there is a bunch of remodels of the old ones, and the iPhone also got a price drop. (Thankfully!)

The new nano can play videos and games, but I really don’t like the way it looks. It’s really fat looking now.

The iPod Classic (basicly an iPod Video) also is sporting the fat look… But it’s not as short, so it looks a little better.

The shuffles have a few new colors, too.

Here’s some pictures of the new ‘Pods.

Amateur Games Rock!

This is a really cool concept! Gamers and developers make games, upload them and let the world play them for free. There are some really good games (and some that are not so great) and a really groovy chat function. It’s neat to see the pulse of the sort of “underground” video game developers out there, and to see some of the really original ideas for games.

Plus, you can vote for the games you want, earn badges and awards and more. No, I’m not getting paid by these guys - but maybe I’ll develop a game about video game blogging!
