Sept 1st won't only be the day the new iPod's come out...no no. Plex the hotness in OS X media center software has been revamped from scratch. Instead of being one giant monolithic program, the developers changed the system to make a media server, and a thin client. One of Plex 9's new features (which ps I'm already loving, without even having tried it) is that you can run Plex media server on one computer...and start to watch your movie, then pause...go to another room launch Plex on that media center computer and pick up where...

Digitimes.com is reporting that Apple is almost ready to release a new 11.6" MacBook Air using the new Intel i-Series processors. The designer should create a slimmer, lighter model and will be released sometime in the second half of 2010. They also report that a new iPod touch will be released in August/Sept. This is WAY more likely since Apple does the "free" iPod ad every September to go with their Back to School program. Digitimes reports that the new iPod Touch will have a 3-megapixel camera and use the new A4 chip that is in both the...

Apple's iPod comes in at 56, while headphones come in at 75. There seems to be no logic to this list but here it is for all to see.

Vietnamese site Tinhte has leaked another bit of Apple hardware. The consistency of these releases begs the question, is there a wide open leak at Foxconn or were these all acquired in one raid? Regardless, our smugglers have released photo's of an uncirculated iPod Touch. Uncirculated, not next-gen because it is not yet clear if this is truly a next-gen device or a leftover refresh that never made it to market from last year.
