A big argument is going on at the moment between Apple and wildlife defenders Greenpeace. The subject? Apple iPhone being toxic or not, reports our sister site iPhone World.
According to a Greenpeace report iPhone headphones cables appear to have 1.5% level of Phthalates (Wiki) — a toxic substance used in nail polish, caulk, adhesives, or other miscellaneous items that you’d normally not ingest.
But an Apple spokesperson said in response to this matter that “Like all Apple products worldwide, iPhone complies with RoHS [Restriction of Hazardous Substances], the world’s toughest restrictions on toxic substances in electronics. As we have said, Apple will voluntarily eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs by the end of 2008.”
At the same time it’s unknown whether the Apple iPod Touch, which should normally have the same headsets and internal components as the iPhone is suffering from the same problems, since not Greenpeace, nor no one else bothered to test it.

Since it’s known that iPod Touch has the same gaming capabilities as the iPhone: touchscreen display, Wi-Fi connection, and Safari browser, as well as the same operating system as the iPhone (mobile OS X), it’s no wonder that iPhone games are essentially iPod Touch games, and vice versa.
That’s why we wanted to bring to your attention that our sister site iPhone World has iPod Touch games/iPhone games archives going back to late June 2007, when Apple iPhone was launched.
In iPhone World’s games archive you will be able to find different types of iPod Touch games: from iPod Touch web games like Minesweeper and Blackjack, to iPod Touch native downloadable puzzle games, to iPod Touch NES and Doom games emulators (seriously!).

It’s known that Apple iPod Touch works almost like the iPhone — save the phone part. Essentially Apple iPod Touch has the same Wi-Fi+Safari combination as the iPhone, and it runs the same OSX operating system as the iPhone.
As such, iPhone web programs will work on both iPhone and iPod Touch. And even third party applications for the iPhone can work as iPod Touch programs.
That’s why we wanted to bring to your attention that our sister site iPhone World has a big archive of iPhone programs, most of which should work on your iPod Touch.
So chances are you might find your next favorite iPod Touch program by visiting iPhone World’s iPod Touch/iPhone programs archive. There are both downloadable and web based iPod Touch programs there for your pleasure.

Well known audio products manufacturer Altec Lansing released a new speaker system especially for iPods and other MP3 players.
The super lightweight Altec Lansing Orbit-MP3 (IM207) is highly portable as it’s small enough to slip into one of your pockets (assuming your iPod Touch is in the other one).
And since 3 AAA batteries are enough for full 24 hours of playback and the speaker system is shock resistant, it can be a truly useful companion for your iPod Touch.

To all those concerned with iPod Touch models’ future: analysts from iSuppli predict that Apple will have sold 66 million units of iPod Touch and iPod Nano models within 2 years.
According to iSuppli’s projections, Apple will ship 20 million iPods of these two models by the end of the year.
At the same time, next year the same iSuppli expects an increase in demand for these models, yielding additional 40 million sold units for Apple in 2008.
iPod Touch is expected to be a hot selling item this holidays season, largely in part due to the fact that iPhone provided sufficient hype for touchscreen technology. Considering that not everyone wants to trade in his current phone for a contract with ATT, iPod Touch could become very popular as an alternative to the iPhone or an older generation iPod.
