iPod refresh announced...

While the iPhone 5 may have been the main highlight of today's Apple event, the iPod range also got some limelight as Apple announced a refresh to the whole line up. They were all updated whether thinner, lighter, powerful-er, they were all given a much needed update.

In particular the one that caught my eye was the addition of a 4-inch iPod touch which of course is retina, powered by a dual-core processor and features a 5-megapixel camera on the rear with a flash. It's a awesome addition and certainly out does some of Samsung's Galaxy players.

With that also comes a 2.5-inch touch screen iPod Nano and features the new lightning connection that is seen on the iPhone 5. Overall, this is a great and as mentioned -much needed refresh to the iPod line up.

Sony Xperia SL is official!

Looks like a Sony employee accidentally published an official page for the upcoming Xperia SL, a week before Sony's pre-IFA show on the 29th August. The page leaked colour options, battery life statistics and of course, the specs. The Xperia SL is a refresh of the Xperia S, hopefully these changes make an impact.

So, the phone packs a 4.3-inch display with 720p HD resolution (720x1280), powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) with 1GB of RAM. Camera's include a 12.1-megapixel rear-facing camera and front-facing camera of unknown resolution for video calling. Internal storage will most likely be at 16GB/32GB with no option to expand it. The phone runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" as oppossed to the original Xperia S which ran Android 2.3 "Gingerbread".
