Optional 3G connectivity may liberate Apple’s next iPod Touch from the confines of Wi-Fi hotspots.
The rumor, reported by AppleSpot.nl and kindly translated by a reader at 9to5Mac, says that users will be able to pop a 3G SIM card into the iPod Touch and subscribe to a data plan of their choosing. AT&T and Verizon Wireless already offer

Apple’s 2011 back-to-school deal ditches the free iPod Touch of years past and offers a $100 gift card instead, a move that some pundits are calling stingy.
In previous years, Apple has given a free iPod Touch to any student who buys a new MacBook, for a value of up to $299. This year’s gift is obviously much cheaper. Joe Wilcox of …
Oh look, another study pitting Apple against Android like digital pugilists boxing for market share. The verdict this time? iOS has “twice the reach of Android.”
That’s according to comScore, which claims in its breaking study that Apple’s iOS devices (comprising iPhones, iPad, and iPad Touches) total some 37.9 million devices among …
In the eternal struggle to win over gamers’ thumbs on the go, Nintendo’s been the uncontested champ for decades now. The only other dedicated gaming device to ever mount a worthy challenge has been Sony’s Playstation Portable. Just a week after Nintendo announced its launch plans for their new 3DS, Sony pulled away the veil of …
Samsung is apparently readying an Android-based music player based on its popular line of “Galaxy S” smartphones.
The Galaxy Player will be similar to Apple’s iPod Touch in that it’ll basically be an Android phone without the phone part, much like the iPod Touch is more or less an iPhone without the cellular chipset.
Apple’s latest operating system for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch is available today. While iOS 4.2, as it’s called, touts several minor updates for iPhone and iPod Touch, iPad users get a handful of major new features.
The new software brings multitasking to the iPad, a feature that’s been available on the iPhone for a while now, …
We first heard rumblings of this “Peel” case back in July, and Sprint has now made it official. Quite simply, it’s a protective case for a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch that connects to Sprint’s 3G network and converts the data into a Wi-Fi signal to be used by the iPod Touch itself.
It’ll be available November 14th for $80 and …
“What’s the big deal? It just has cameras and that eyeball display thing, right?”
Sure, if you want to boil it down to the very basics and judge a book by its cover, then, yes, the latest iPod touch update includes nothing more than the iPhone 4’s Retina display (960×640), a front-facing and rear camera. But like any other …
Apple released its rulebook for what can and can’t exist in the iTunes App Store and, believe it or not, there are plenty of apps already in the store that break multiple rules. Here are just a few.
Nothing: $0.99
That’s the app. "Nothing." Guess what it does? Nothing. Guess which rule from Apple’s "App Store Review Guidelines" it

We just received the new batch of iPods from Apple for review. Anything you want us to check out? We’re really liking the nano so far. Haven’t done much with the touch or shuffle, though.
With all the back and forth between Apple and developers over what is and what isn’t appropriate for the App Store, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all wondered what the guidelines are to get into the pearly gates of the App Store. Apple has posted the review guidelines and we can’t help but laugh out loud. I didn’t think …
While this doesn’t quite appear to be the same “Peel” case that surfaced in late July, the idea appears to be somewhat similar. A company called GoSolarUSA is planning to bring a $60 protective case to market this year that features a SIM card slot and special software that allows Apple’s new iPod Touch to make and receive voice calls …
