Don’t kill me for saying this, but iFixit is on a ‘tear’ lately when it comes to stripping down Apple products.  Just yesterday we saw the inards of the brand new iPod Nano (with camera) and now they’ve stripped apart a 3rd gen iPod Touch.And guess what they found?  Inside the device is a Broadcom BCM4329 chip, which supposedly supports 802.11n (the latest iteration of WiFi) and the ability to transmit the iPod’s audio to a nearby FM radio.  This isn’t the first time we’ve heard murmurs of a handheld Apple product including an FM

Here we go again... it's Tuesday and the store's been taken off-line as rumors of a new touch-screen tablet flood our tips box. That can mean only one thing: a new Android tablet from Archos. What, were you expecting something else?[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Google and Apple have both managed to wrest a great deal of control over the mobile user experience from carriers over the past couple of years -- cheers to that, by the way -- and now Nokia's decided it wants a piece of that action with the introduction of Maemo 5 and the N900, which it says will be free of the branding that Symbian products frequently get subjected to. It makes total sense that Nokia would be looking to come play in that rarified air that Android, iPhone OS, and webOS are all playing in -- a place where ARPUs are high, UIs are slick and modern, and the apps (and

One thing's for sure: the obsession with pico projectors has certainly calmed since these things first hit the scene right around a year ago. Optoma's PK101 was somewhat of an industry poster child, so it makes sense to see the company outing a successor in hopes of catching the interest of those who held off on adopting early. Still, the predictably titled PK102 does little to improve upon the past, boasting the same native resolution (480 x 320), a 2,000:1 contrast ratio (up from 1,000:1) and the traditional DLP engine. On the plus side, it has managed to trim down

There's no denying that Apple let the entire world (yes, even the native Easter Islanders) down by not shoving a camera of some sort into its iPod touch, but if a delicate teardown completed by the screwdriver-wielding fiends over at iFixit is any indication, a seasoned modder could certainly add one. A 6- x 6- x 3-millimeter space was spotted between a Broadcom chip and the wireless antenna, which is reportedly not enough room for an iPhone-esque sensor, but just enough space for the video camera module found in the 5G iPod nano. In potentially more interesting news, the

Microsoft has reported its financial results for April to June 2009, with profits down a third compared with the same period last year – notably worse than market analysts were expecting.And by 'a third' we mean, in real cash terms, a cool £1.9 billion. With overall revenue down 17 per cent on last year.Microsoft is feeling the brunt of the recession, simply because fewer people and businesses are buying new PCs with new Microsoft operating systems on them."Until the job market picks up, companies need less computers and the recession means they're not as likely to

Panasonic says that it is confident that it can persuade ITV HD to allow Freesat+ Blu-ray recorder owners to dub its hi-def programmes to Blu-ray. As Home Cinema Choice exclusively revealed last week, all ITV HD material is currently flagged Copy Never, regardless of age or content type.This means that while owners of Panasonic's Blu-ray recorder can timeshift HD programmes to the hard drive, they are prohibited from copying the material to a Blu-ray media in hi-def form. This is in stark contrast to BBC HD which is currently flagged Copy Once, and should soon move to Copy
