The New Nano: Camera for Touchscreen, Good Trade?
The new iPod nano was announced today alongside upgrades of all other iPods (besides the notably absent classic). It got a touchscreen display with the multitouch features Apple is known for. If you turn it around expecting to find a camera lens, though, you’ll be disappointed. The nano’s traded that in for a clip.
The new form factor is quite small (only marginally larger than the shuffle, in fact, at around 1.5 inches square). The 1.54-inch TFT touchscreen boasts a resolution of 240×240, which should be plenty for showing off the album artwork or even getting a look at some of your favorite pics. It could also work well as fancy watch, as one Apple exec is planning on using it, according to Jobs.
Despite the presence of the touchscreen, the new nano is not without physical buttons. There’s a sleep/wake one on top, along with who physical volume +/- controls. Ports on the bottom include a 3.5mm headphone jack and the standard 30-pin dock connector.
Google Chrome Extension chromeTouch, touchscreen and inertia scrolling
Just a short demonstration of a Google Chrome extension called chromeTouch. It enables touchscreen and inertia scrolling in Google Chrome, similar to that of the Grab and Drag extension from Firefox. You can find chromeTouch in the Google Chrome extension gallery
