Potential Safari Redesign in iPhone 2.2

A screenshot from iPhone Atlas shows a redesigned Mobile Safari, with the Google button not available without clicking first on the address bar. The search button is gone, which makes sense, and the refresh button is now embedded in the address bar. Looks promising, and there are no obvious Photoshop marks.

4GB iPod nano

A 4GB iPod nano has apparently been shipping in small quantities to markets outside of the US . The idea was for a cheaper nano with less storage. No word on pricing.

MiGhty Docs

Offline google docs on an iPod touch or iPhone, sounds great right? Yes, it is:

MiGhty Docs is a free app store application that caches all of your google documents data(except for presentations). You can read them in the program, but it is read-only. It syncs data whenever you open it and have an internet connection. Available in the apple application store.

Update on Apple

Lots of rumors have been going around about the Apple event tomorrow, and I thought I would sum up the links here:

iTunes 8 accidentally leaked(unconfirmed) Gizmodo

iTunes 8 Mockup Kevin Rose's blog

New iPod Nano Gizmodo

Happy Speculating!

(Based on the accuracy of the past predictions, I would be fairly confident in a new touch, new nano, new touch firmware, itunes 8 genius sidebar, grid album layout, and maybe a new iTunes visualizer)

Videora iPod Touch Converter

All of the videora video conversion products can convert many video formats to formats and resolutions compatible with any iPod, and the iPod Touch version is no different. The converter is about as fast as can be hoped, and conversion is easy.

Fortunately, there is a mode for normal users and a mode for power users, and each one is easy to use. During transcoding, there is an option to show advanced details, the bolded items are regular details, and the advanced details are in regular font.

The program even includes an option to import converted videos right into iTunes. If you've got the cpu time to spare, you can queue up conversions, and the best part is that this software is completely free.

There is one negative of this software, however. The home screen, which is what you see when the program opens up, is full of ads.

These go away when switching to the other screens(such as convert, settings, and help), but are still a nuisance. It is understandable that the dev's want to make some money while giving away this program, but the ads are really a bit excessive.

Overall, this is a great piece of software, essential to anyone with a large non-h.264 or mpeg4 video collection also in possession of an ipod with video(any latest gen ipod except for the shuffle) or an iphone.
