Can't be too much joy in the land of Apple Computer with recent reports from PC Magazine and the Wall Street Journal.
Apparently, following a shift in suppliers, updated versions of Apple's iPod nano will ship in the fourth quarter instead of the third quarter, while the release of the wide-screen video iPod also may be pushed back from the fourth quarter into early 2007.
(Hate those product delays, especially at holiday shopping time.)
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has a fascinating report about Apple's focus on product secrecy, even about its own employees and customers.
Reminds me of a Silicon Valley saying: "Only the paranoid survive."
(Now who said that?)

It's a very simple premise -- why not create a light-weight battery that allows you to charge any number of mobile devices, rather than having a dedicated battery for each device?
Simple, but apparently not that easy to do -- until now.
APC's new Mobile Power Pack (UPB10) allows you to simultaneously charge and power your mobile phone and handheld computer using USB charging cables (sold separately, but you probably have them already).
There are three really beautiful design elements in this gadget -- its weight (only 105 g), its size (approximately 4 inches x 2.5 inches x 0.5 inches) and its ability to charge any number number of the gadgets you always have on you. It's incredibly easy to use.
Plus (a big plus!) look at these additional runtimes:
- iPod Nano/Flash MP3 players (playing music) -- 55 hours
- iPod Video/HDD MP3 players (playing movies) -- 10 hours
- RazR V3/Mobile phones (talk time) -- 10 hours
- Blackberry/Treo (email and talk time) -- 9 hours
- Sony PSP (playing time) -- 5 hours
Price: $69.99.
Small is beautiful!
