iPod UK and iPhone UK

New iPhone 4 Announced

Apple have announced the release of the new iPhone 4, which will be released in the UK on 24 June.

The new phone is less than 10mm thick, and has a stainless steel case. It has a front-facing video camera which will allow video calls.

The new "Retina" display is the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. In fact, the pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which makes text amazingly crisp and images stunningly sharp.

It is now possible to shoot high-definition movies. Capture impressive video even in low-light settings, thanks to the advanced backside illumination sensor and built-in LED light. Then edit and create your own mini-masterpiece right on iPhone 4 using the new iMovie app.

iPod nano updated!

Apple have just announced the iPod nano is to be updated to have a video camera, FM radio, voice recorder, and pedometer. It will also have a polished aluminium finish in nine electrifying colours. It will also have a larger 2.2 inch screen.

The video camera can record in either portrait or landscape. It also includes 15 special effects including mirror, sepia, and motion blur.

Available now from the Amazon UK iPod Store.

iPod touch

The iPod Touch feels even better in your hand thanks to the stunningly thin, contoured enclosure made of polished stainless steel.

And now a built-in speaker lets you hear the music, dialogue, and action without headphones, perfect for casual listening.

iPod touch features the same multi-touch screen technology as iPhone.

Brilliant 3.5-inch widescreen display. Watch your movies, TV shows, and slideshows come alive with bright, vivid color on the 320-by-480-pixel display.

Music downloads straight from iTunes. Shop the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store from anywhere with Wi-Fi. Browse the web and watch YouTube videos on the first iPod with Wi-Fi built in.

Available now from the Amazon UK iPod Store.

iPod Classic

With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. With 80GB or 160GB of storage and up to 40 hours of battery life, the new iPod classic lets you enjoy up to 40,000 songs or up to 200 hours of video wherever you go.

Now with Cover Flow. Browse through your music and video collection by flipping through album art. Select an album to turn it over and see the track list.

Beautiful, durable, and sleeker than ever, iPod classic now features an anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel enclosure with rounded edges.

Available now from the Amazon UK iPod Store.

iPod Shuffle

The iPod shuffle is incredibly small - half the size of the previous shuffle, it is now the world's smallest music player. But it comes with 4GB of memory - enough for 1,000 songs.

It also includes the new VoiceOver feature: Say you're listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you as the music dips down. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.

Available now from the Amazon UK iPod Store.

Apps Built for iPhone 4

Jim Dalrymple at The Loop highlights apps built to take advantage of iPhone 4 features — including the gyroscope, accelerometer, and Retina display. Writes Dalrymple: “There are a lot of great apps for the iPhone, but to experience the ultimate in cool apps you have to look for those built to utilize the newest technologies in iPhone 4.”

Ray, 21st June 2010

Hi Ray, here's a few people with the same problem: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=409207 So it sounds like a faulty cable is the most likely solution. Maybe take it to your nearest Apple store for them to check?

Got a strange problem with an iphone 3GS. Updated to OS4.0 and now alerts don't happen for events in calendar when set. Also it seems to get confused as to whether its in London or Los Angeles. If timezone is set to LA then times for events in calendar are English, but if you change timezone support to London, event timings change to something else! Any help appreciated
Lisa, 28th June 2010

Lisa, you should be able to click on the event, then "Edit", and then set the event to alert you. As for the timezone, have a look at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically and see what it is set to.

Hi Alastair, obviously the iPad can't text, but I presume you knew that. Personally, I've tried both, and I think the iPad is a luxury item - nice to have, but not essential. The iPhone, however, is more of a must-have item.

Chlo, 11th July 2010

Chlo, no, you don't buy "App Store". The App Store is the internet store where Apple sells apps. In order to run those apps, though, you'll need an iPod touch or iPhone.

Apple has revamped the design on the iPhone 4, and introduced a sparkling new display, and added a speedy processor which apple calls it A4 but in reality it an ARM processor.

iPhone is really a design copy of the ipod, 12th July 2010

Hi - not quite a ipod query but can you store your intues library on an extarnal hard disk and (provided the EHD is connected via USB etc) still play your music via itunes properly. Am trying to figure out a way that I can free up memory on my macbook by keeping my music (which occupies a great part of my memory) externally. Thanks in advance
Phil, 12th July 2010

Hi Phil, go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced and there you will see the place where your iTunes library is saved. You can select a location on your external drive no problem.

when is the ipod touch 4th Generation being released?
nafees, 13th July 2010

Considering an ipod, prob latest with something above 8gb.I only want to drag and drop the music on my laptop which is my own CDs. I think there's a problem with doing this as you seem to have to use iTunes and when you sync, your existing music vanishes if it's not itunes. Is that right? Also, someone told me you can't even sort by song name or artist name. That's gonna be problematic. How do you find a track or play a whole album?
Sarah, 15th July 2010

Nafees, there has been no announcement about a new iPod touch.
Andrew, 15th July 2010

Sarah, yes, you have to use iTunes but there is no problem with using your existing MP3s. You won't lose your existing music! And it is possible to sort by song name or artist name.
Andrew, 15th July 2010

Sent my phone to http://www.iphonerepairsltd.co.uk a little bit more expensive but in the end worth every penny. My screen repair came back as good as new in about 4 days. Hope this helps someone.
Simon, 18th July 2010

Andrew - thanks (Re 12 July) - am i right in saying when i want to sync my ipod/iphone i can then make it sync with the library on the external; hard disk? Also, do you happen to know if I can do the same with photos within iphoto?
Phil, 19th July 2010

I've changed my PC and do not know how to get my Ipod active on the new one. downloading the old PC software onto a jump stick does not work. I don't have the code so the apple help service is not accessible. any ideas?
sue, 19th July 2010

Phil, yes, you can do all those things with an external drive.
Andrew, 19th July 2010

Sue, you just have to download iTunes onto your new PC: http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/
