Chinon AVi Portable iPod Dock: Is The Boombox Back?
Every child of the 80s and 90s remembers the iconic image of the bulky, sharp-edged brick boomboxes that once flooded our city streets with hip-hop. Like the popularity of MC Hammer and his glorious parachute pants, the boombox has largely faded from the public consciousness. Now we're able to blare our tunes from smaller devices that deliver better sound quality and weigh less than thirty pounds.

Best Buy published their new Deal Of The Day for Saturday, November 14th on their online shop. Today's Deal is featuring the new Apple iPod touch 8GB bundled with a $20 Gift Card.

GPS Navigation Comes to iPod touch
The iPhone 3G and 3GS both offer GPS navigation capability thanks to built-in GPS receivers. The iPod touch on the other hand lacks a GPS receiver, which meant that it could not be used for navigation. GeoLife and PosiMotion have announced a new hardware and software solution for the iPod touch that brings GPS navigation to the device for the first time.
The system, called G-Fi, provides a mobile network/GPS router, and provides turn-by-turn navigation for the iPod touch line. The G-Fi is a onetime cost item with no additional monthly costs and it supports the entire iPod touch and iPhone range. Read more

ReNu Solar iPod Charger: Being Green Can Be Hot
Solar technology is awesome. It's easy to use and provides an unlimited source of free electricity wherever you go. Unfortunately, most commercial solar panels looks like, well...solar panels. Thankfully, the ReNu solar iPod dock (via Gizmodo) is just sexy enough to grab the attention of hipsters the world over. It's got a slick, ultramodern design and a hefty price tag: $200.
The dock consists of a set of speakers and a square solar panel/battery combo that sits comfortably in between them. With a full charge, the battery can power music for 7-8 hours. When it goes dry, you just need to pull out the solar panel and expose it to the sun. With direct line, it can charge the battery to full in 9 hours (that's almost an even rate of replacement). In poor light, however, charging can take as long as 20 hours.

iPod Touch Has Spot for Camera?
The big Apple Event was this week, and the largest shock of the whole day was the fact that the iPod touch will be coming to stores without a camera. Steve Jobs stated that the camera was absent because the touch was built to be a game console. An iPhone-like camcorder would have been unnecessary for Apple's purposes.
However, not everyone is buying this line. There have been some rumors that the camera on the iPod touch was removed at the last minute due to space or hardware issues. Today, we finally have some proof that this may, in fact, be the case. Ifixit took apart an iPod touch and looked inside. In step 15 of the teardown, you can see a spot left at the top of the device (where the camera was shown in the cases) where a camera would have fit.
