The model is the most retro radioCD alarm that it has a slot for CDs and listen to radio, incorporates for the first time a base for the iPod and Apple’s iPhone. The screen is big and the clock is responsible for recharging the Apple players, who need it very much.

If you wish, we can maintain control of them with a remote control included. It also incorporates radio and CD drive.

In addition, Sony is the first of its kind in offering iTunes Tagging to mark the songs that we like to be able to acquire digital radio and later the store of Apple.

120 GB Zune on track while new iPods
If you follow the world of rumors about Apple in Applesfera, as you know with the utmost detail that next on September 9 that it is more likely to be carried out in an event that music will again have much prominence. It is hoped the event of a renewed and comprehensive range of iPods, plus a new version of iTunes that can handle with ease all the gadgets that we can connect, and perhaps also new Macbooks and Macbooks Pro.
But for those who may not have dated only a new range of iPods, but Microsoft could have prepared their new Zune. Do them out in Europe? Recently it was at the point.
In the words of Microsoft itself, and have ready the following plan for the new Zune, which not only will new developments at the hardware level but also on the part of software and services. It could also be some surprises in the price of new Zune players.

What was announced almost certainly will be the Zune 120 GB model that was a few days ago on the website of the U.S. FCC.
We have linked this with the rumor of the new iPod, because it appears that Microsoft’s strategy of a player for audio and video with flash memory and elongated format could be imposed. The last photo circulating on the Internet on the new iPod nano is the bottom, and as you see, would become the classic format that changed with the previous generation of iPods, but that the Microsoft Zune seems to maintain at all costs.
A strange way when everyone expected the technology multitáctil would also jump to the small range of the iPod screen.
As for the Zune, there is at present rumors that the screen to become a touch. Sitting still waiting in Europe.

iPod nano 4G
The iPod nano is one of Apple products that most renewals are suffering. Today is back to pass, and it has done so with a return to the elongated format of the first two versions. For the story is flattened and the iPod nano 3G.
However, this iPod nano 4G, in addition to the redesign, introduces important new level of software. It resembles the interface much more to their older brothers. But WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity, which could have provided an excuse to upgrade, falls back into the limbo of what Apple never brought forth. Or if it does, it will be in the form of accessories. It seems incredible that much more complete players, with WiFi, Bluetooth headsets or simple quality, without penalty or glory pass by the windows.

iPod nano 4G

Returning to Apple’s new iPod nano, its screen adopts the widescreen with a size of 2 inches and resolution of 320×240 pixels, backlit white and blue. Accompanying this change of the display is a new, more colorful, with menus more attractive, cover art and complete system Cover Flow. It also has the function Genius ordering a playlist as we are listening.
 
To make the screen rotate and change its format to vertical landscape has been incorporated an accelerometer that also acts as an element to change the song to shake the player. Recall that this role and incorporate some of Sony Ericsson mobile music, so it is nothing new, nor brings a special value to the player. Well yes, a pocket important for Apple encourages us to buy games from the Apple Store to take advantage of this functionality.
The design of the new iPod has been careful enough. Now available in 9 colors more vibrant, and something new is that the full range of colors are available for both versions of the iPod nano, the 8-Gb leaving by 139 euros and 189 euros for 16GB. It was just so absurd condition of capacity when we want a color or another, and that Apple remains on the iPhone for example. Vagaries unnecessary.
The thickness, as we see in the picture below, has been reduced to 6.2 mm, and has been equipped with a completely curved at the ends. Material that is manufactured with the new iPod nano are conveniently bent aluminum and glass.
We will not repeat the usual shortcomings of the Apple iPod (bluetooth, FM radio …) but he has especially disappointed that the iPod Touch will incorporate serial receiver for the Nike iPod system and that in a player like this iPod nano, more focused on the sport, has been ignored. These are small details that leave a bad taste in your mouth.

The WiFi connectivity would be used to buy music on the move, but not limited to a single store, but that would be access to several of them. A precisely which could be pulled Dell, and also integrate a section for downloading movies, but not for the music player (which makes us think of a core team without big screen) but for their computers.
