Steve Jobs has done it again. Owing to the success of the iPod Nano, Apple has reportedly released the latest iPod Nano 4G in the market, thin and eco-friendly and bound to be the next big demand in the gadget market.

While many are still trying to get hold of their own iPods these days, a new version is bound to make them think twice. Expected to be pricier, people now looking at getting their own iPod may want to reconsider getting this new one, advanced, handy and coming with more features as well.

He said: ‘We think these new Nanos are the cleanest toxic-free iPods we’ve ever built.’ They come in aluminium and a range of colours from purple to lime green.

The new Nanos are expected to sell in the UK for ?109 for the 8GB version and ?149 for the 16GB version.

Well, here is a great gadget which will assist you in such a premise. The heater holder can be a useful place to place your cigar if it is your turn on the green. Some may call it a weird gadget to find in the golf course but for the golfers who put premium in enjoying cigar while golfing, this is a good device to find on the courses.

The small metal cigar holder attaches to the snaps atop golf bags that are normally designed to secure a rain cover. The basic version sells for $25, but other models are available in silver, sterling silver, and gold for those looking for a little more flash. It also features a chain that attaches to your bag, so that you won’t lose the Heater Holder if you knock it off the snaps. The device is perfect for those who prefer to walk the course, but isn’t as useful if you strap your clubs to the back of a motor cart.

They may seem like a useful piece of aid for the modern gadget freaks today but to the ones who love to enhance and put their gadgets on display, this Gorilla Go Go holder is certainly something that will be a prized find, at home or in the office.

If you class your phone/MP3 player/PDA/digital camera as being far too precious to lie on a dust and dirt ridden desktop (or somewhere equally mucky), or you’re just simply into unique looking tech accessories, the Gorilla Go-Go is definitely worth casting your eye over.

It’s a clever little accessory that’ll hold up virtually any of your gadgets (within reason - it won’t hold your Playstation), with its multiple attachment options such as suction clips and high-bond adhesive clips.

But to some people, technology can be visualized and conceptualized according to what they are looking for. Technology makes thing easier and with the joint minds of professionals who are apparently trying to send a message across, these concepts, imaginations and innovations may one day pave the way to the much sought after technology that makes future computing a dream for every person known to operate computers masterfully.

At times we want to take pictures with our phones which are equipped with such a feature. But the problem here is that unlike the usual digital cameras, they don’t have a zoom option to get a better image when we want to shoot certain images. In fact, it limits mobile phones such as our iPhone towards near shots. But that was yesterday’s news.

Welcome the iPhone 3G Mobile Phone Telescope that allows you to go as far as 6X Zoom and extend your shooting power in capturing better images via your iPhone. So the next time you want to get a better shot and avoid the blurry or bad image rendering, just take out that iPhone 3G Mobile Phone Telescope and snap away to your liking!

The new design to run of rays can effectively avoid the contortion of image, and makes the super wide angle, the larger luminous flux, the higher visual acuteness, good for color reduction, which makes the high quality of photography.

Media tablets are slowly becoming the next rant in the gadget world and while we have heard of the Nokia Internet Tablet, Archos has countered with the Internet Media Tablet, available in three models.

A definite must have for the mobile Internet enthusiast and something that will definitely be a hot item in the coming months on the latest gadgets to get in the market.

You may be hesitant on the brand though. Unlike Nokia, Archos is not that established of a brand. But once the buyers start racking in, getting one tablet after another, expect the demand the swell and perhaps the price too!

In a world where fuel has been a hindrance in allowing public transportation to serve the public better, alternative methods of using fuel are in the limelight. Electric cars are being buzzed up and we see most countries unveiling various options such as this solar powered cab that roams Malibu.

No one can attest to it better other than famous director James Cameron who experienced riding in these solar powered cabs firsthand. Cameron is known to be a hit when it comes to futuristic films and this time around, he is not only playing around with them in his mind, he is living the fruits of the future at this very moment.

The famous director (who we should also mentioned embraced the past with Titanic), was spotted a couple weeks ago at the Malibu Arts Festival checking out and riding around in the Solartaxi; the first completely solar-powered car to drive around the world. As one would expect, this is an emissions-free vehicle that derives its power completely from the sun. It seats two, has three wheels and pulls a trailer covered in solar panels to charge the batteries in the front of the car. It has a top speed of about 50mph and can do roughly 100 miles on a six-hour charge. So far, the inventor, Louis Palmer, has taken the vehicle to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, New Zealand and now North America.

Thanks to science, we may soon experience the real “Bionic Man”. We all remember this television series back in the 80’s which starred Lee Majors and while all of that was purely due to camera tricks, the scientists of the University of Pittsburgh may soon unleash the first official bionic limb to be used by people who have had amputations.

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently succeeded in implanting sensors in the brain of a monkey, allowing it to move a mechanical arm with his thoughts. This is the latest breakthrough in the field of Neuroprosthetics, where implanted chips carry signals to the remaining limbs of an amputee, guiding movement.

If the research holds, breakthroughs like these could lead to a reassessment of disabled people as ‘bionic’ and fully able, and lead to a new era of mind-controlled gadgets.

It is all a matter of using your mind to move and perhaps stronger than the standard movement of the person with the normal limbs. But for the people missing a part, this may just keep them in step with us or even make them step farther.

Federal agents may take a traveler’s laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This would prove to be a hassle if you’re traveling on business and DHS agents impound your equipment. How about storing sensitive information in your brain instead? I guess they can’t just take that from you.
