After releasing the iPhone 4S today, Apple has also announced the addition of a white iPod Touch which has been long overdue.

Unlike the iPhone 4S, the iPod Touch hasn't seen any new spec updates.
Mophie's much anticipated gaming case for the iPod Touch 4G is now finally shipping to the hands of consumers. The Mophie Pulse was created to transform Apple's gaming portable device into a mean multi-touch gaming console with 2 speakers for much improved stereo sound, built-in 800mAh rechargeable battery pack for extra juice on the go and best of all? Rumble feedback! The ViviTouch technology not only provides in-game vibrating feedback, but also tactile haptic feedback for button clicks, music, gestures and scrolling.
Mophie's Pulse case is made from hard polycarbonate with soft-touch rubberized coated hand grips for extra grip and control. The Pulse is available now for $99.95.
Kickstarter has brought us yet another awesome new innovative product waiting to hit the stores with your help. The Move, lets you wear your iPhone 4 or iPod Touch and attach your iDevice anywhere on your clothing. What's so awesome about it is that it doesn't use any clips and magnets but instead, The Move is placed underneath your clothing while you snap your iPhone 4 or iPod Touch into The Move from the front of your clothing and it will be held securely in place.
It's a pretty brilliant and an innovative idea if you ask me. The possibilities in using The Move to shoot video are vast. The questions is, how comfortable is it having an iPhone 4 literally built-into your shirt? Maybe you can feel how it is to be Iron Man. Can I get an iPad 3 version please? Hit up the source link to pre-order yours for $25, plus a video of this thing in action.
Apple is said to be launching its Back to School promotion this week with a big surprised to those who came accustomed to this yearly promotion. Instead of giving away free iPods to students who purchase a qualifying Mac under the educational discount program, this year Apple will swap out the free iPod for a free $100 iTunes gift card. Typically Apple has initiated the Back to School promotion and offered a free iPod with a Mac purchase for students in a strategic move to clear out inventory of iPods and make room for new models which Apple later on announces. If Apple does indeed switch to offering $100 iTunes gift cards to its student in this years Back to School promotion, it will certainly be a letdown for those who planned on scoring a free 8GB iPod Touch 4G which retails for $229. Well, at least you can download $100 worth of music, movies and TV shows on your brand new Mac.
Looks like it will be a $100 Apple Gift Card that you will be able to use on the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Music and Movies store and will be starting Tomorrow, June 16th 2011 and will be going on till September.
Apple has partially switched on the iCloud switch starting with the App Store on all iOS devices. You can know familiarise yourself with the new features Apple has added by going to your "Updates" section in the App Store which adds a new "Purchased" tab, revealing a history of all the apps you've downloaded with your account thus far. Apps with the iCloud icon are presently not installed on your device. You can choose to install any of the apps you previously purchased or got for free and re-download them again for free. If you're not seeing the new changes, fully close your App Store and re-open it to see the new changes.
