Ipod nano 4th generation review
The Highly anticipated Ipod nano 4th Generation arrived with style and hit the UK market with a desire to wow people in September 2008. It did. The small yet sophisticated design of the MP3 player makes it an ideal pocket gadget for anyone to have. At a weight of just 1.3 oz and measuring at a minute 6.096mm in thickness this breaks apples impressive current record of 6.5mm for slimmest ipod ever designed.
The new nano has been genetically modified in the same style and shape as the 2nd generation however, breaching a whole new level with the small yet effective implants. The vertical screen has been trashed and replaced with a rounded 2" horrizontal screen making it more applicable to watch movies and browse through files a lot easier. At £109.99 for 8GB, and £149.99 for 16GB, the nano is impressively priced given its additions, including a built-in accelerometer. This new idea is embedded inside the ipod and can recognise your movements. The
accelerometer acts as a sensor and when the ipod is purposely shaken it will shuffle the songs and play one at random making listening to music funner than ever before. It also opens up a whole new world of ipod gaming. By tilting the ipod the subject on the screen will also tilt and move. for example a ball in a maze.
Another new addition to the new generation is genesis. select a song and start the genesis. the ipod automatically recognises the beats the sounds and the melody of the song and links it up with other songs on your ipod showing similar patterns and plays them one after another to satisfy your taste for that day.
Over all the attention seeking 4th generation nano ipod slammed into the market and impressed everyone with the new additions. The roundness of the design and the size of the design fanatically grew an interest. When in your pocket you can not see any sort of lump it is that small. Apple has managed to cram a 24 hour lasting battery inside such a small ipod. The ipod nano 4th generation is essential to have if you love your music and i cannot wait to see how apple attempts to beat this ipod next year. i would be highly impressed

Atleast 28 killed and dozens more injured in tripple bomb attack in Baghdad
The morning of rush hour in the iraqi capital, Baghdad, 3 explosions echoed throughout the city leaving more than 28 dead and 68 people injured. The blasts took place around 8am local time. Momentarily, one after another, the bombs exploded. Two of the blasts were car bombs, and the third came from a suicide bomber who pressed the button within the crowd who were trying to help. This tripple attack is one of the worst throughout the country in several months.
A Baghdad shopkeeper, Ahamed Riyadh, says
"We are fed up with such attacks and we want only to live in peace"
Suspicions have arose that the attacks were an Al-Qaeda attempt to re-ignite sectarian conflict in Baghdad.
A school bus found its self caught up in the first explosions killing many inside. It was then when the crowd rushed over to help, the suicide bomber detonated his bombs killing iraqi soldiers and police who had also rushed to the scene following the first explosion.
"There was a huge explosion and before I went out to look another bomb went off," said Fadel Hussein, a waiter at a teahouse on Kassra Street.
The attack is the worst that has hit baghdad since June 17, where explosions there killed 51 and injured 75 in a simalar car bombing.
On a whole, violence has decreased within the towns and villages in Baghdad. However bombings are still occuring daily with Police and Government officials being priority targets
