Wanting to find the differences from previous generations, iFixit team first looked at the new nano. Found in flash memory from another manufacturer but with the changed label processor. iPod touch, in general, did not promise anything good, but hope springs eternal

When we're out on the water, we're constantly longing to take our phones and mp3 players for a swim with us... aren't you? Now we can enjoy a little "I'm on a Boat" when we're actually on a boat -- thanks to Grace Digital Audio's Eco Pod -- without worrying about our handheld's survival. The company announced today that its latest sand, shock and waterproof enclosure is now available -- and it even comes with a set of waterproof earbuds. While the added protection will set you back $50, the ability to bump Katy Perry while exploring a coral reef is, indeed, priceless. Scope out the full PR after the break for all the specifics, and get your white water rafting playlists ready.

DreamBoard Theming Free Download

DreamBoard Theming Free For iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad!

There is no denying that WinterBoard is THE most popular theming application available for thejailbroken iDevices namely iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. There are countless themes available through Cydia for the WinterBoard platform. One of the reasons for its immense popularity has to do with the free availability of the app. It took a lot of time for a true competitor theming platform to arrive on the iDevices. Finally it happened a couple a months back when we witnessed the release of the DreamBoard an alternative theming platform for the iDevices which supported deeper hooks in the iOS to skin and modify the looks of the OS to your liking. Some of the visual enhancements supported by the DreamBoard are not even possible with the WinterBoard! Another big advantage has to be the on-the-fly application of any theme without the need to reSpring (restart Springboard)!

Heres a quick demo on how to enable and use AssistiveTouch in iOS 5.
