Apple’s fourth-generation iPod nano may seems a little tall but it’s actually slimmer than its predecessor. Some of the new features include Genius Playlist for your music, new games made especially for iPod nano, shake to shuffle your music, tilt or turn iPod nano on its side to listen, watch, and play in new ways.

For a deeper insight, check out AppleInsider’s review.

Very cool to have. Why didn’t John or Sarah converted the skull of Cromartie into a DVD player instead?

Now you can carry more music, photos, and videos!

The tagline for iPod touch is however sounds a little lewd — "Now there’s even more to touch." LoL!

Introducing Horntones – the car horn that plays MP3s!

Imagine, instead of horning the usual and boring horn, you can do these at the right place and right time:

• Dixie at the demolition derby
• The Empire Strikes Back theme when you pull up to the IRS office
• A Godzilla roar when stuck behind a Toyota
• The Back to the Future theme as you accelerate to 88 miles per hour
• Road-Runner “Meep-Meep!” right before you floor it
• The beginning of “Gimme More” if your name happens to be Britney

So cool, ain’t it?

However, one must remember that it is illegal to use siren wails, bells, and whistle sounds. Those are reserved for emergency vehicles. And Horntones does not replace your normal horn, it operates alongside your existing horn.

Available at USD $299 from ThinkGeek.com

Finally, the third generation of iPod Nano is here. Many people would have call it the fat nano but it doesn’t even look anywhere near that! The 4GB model retails at USD$149 while the 8GB version sells at USD$199. And yes, you can finally watch video on the iPod Nano!

Meanwhile, it’s cousin, the iPod Classic looks sleeker than ever before. iPod classic 80GB retails at USD$249 while the 160GB sells at USD$349.

Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 features a smile sensor that will automatically take your picture when you smile and it senses a face that isn’t smiling won’t take a picture!

Gizmodo has the camera in action!

It may seem odd that nowadays we even need a gadget to help us smile. But this gadget is a no-brainer that’s basically just a mouthpiece that many would have thought of. You can smile naturally already? Well, this gadget can help you smile wider and more amicable.

It’s even endorsed by a cosmetic dentist (the woman on the top left.) In addition to improving your smile, the product promises to reduce facial sagging, making your countenance more firm and petite.

Self-cleaning fabrics could revolutionize the sport apparel industry. The technology, created by scientists working for the U.S. Air Force, has already been used to create t-shirts and underwear that can be worn hygenically for weeks without washing.

The new technology attaches nanoparticles to clothing fibers using microwaves. Then, chemicals that can repel water, oil and bacteria are directly bound to the nanoparticles. These two elements combine to create a protective coating on the fibers of the material.

“On November 14 we’re delivering not only a device, but a shared, social experience that will be shaped by the collective imagination of consumers,” said Chris Stephenson, general manager of global marketing for Zune. “We’re infusing the spirit of discovery and sharing into everything we do–from the experience we crafted around the device and service to pre-loading music and videos on every device to expose people to something new.”

Zune is an iPod-like device that features a 30 GB hard drive, a 3-inch color screen that works in both landscape and portrait modes, a built-in FM tuner, and unique sharing features. The first generation Zune will include a selection of preloaded content, including songs, music videos, and short movies. Versions will be available in three colors: White, black, and brown.

Microsoft will be bolstering the device with a new online service called Zune Marketplace, where Zune users can browse and purchase songs for about 99 cents each. Unlike Apple’s iTunes service, however, Zune Marketplace will also offer a $14.99 monthly subscription called Zune Pass that gives subscribers access to all Zune Marketplace content.

There will also be a wide array of accessories available for Zune at launch. These include prepackaged sets of accessories such as the Home A/V Pack (for integrating the device into a home theatre), the Zune Travel Pack, and the Zune Car Pack. But there are also numerous standalone accessories, including an AV Output Cable, AC Adapter, Sync Cable, Car Charger, Dock, Wireless Remote, Dual Connect Remote, FM Tuner with AutoSeek, Gear Bag, and Premium Headphones.

This should all sound pretty familiar to iPod users. The big differentiator, so to speak, is that Zune will include wireless capabilities that will allow Zune users to share music with each other. Microsoft has yet to describe this feature in much detail, but the company has said that Zune users will be able to actually transmit protected content to other users, at least for a temporary time period. “This is just the beginning,” Stephenson said.

One issue that Microsoft is being upfront about is that the company will lose money on the first generation Zune. Microsoft says the Zune is a “multiyear strategy,” like the Xbox, and that the company is in this business for the long haul. Starting next year, we’ll see a number of other portable devices using the Zune brand.
