More iPads Please

New Apple Event - September 1st

Well, here comes another Apple event. This one is slated for September 1st. Judging by the invitation, and on the time of year, we can expect new iPods. Based on rumours the iPod Touch should finally be getting a camera.

Other rumours point to a new iTV iOS device. These rumours have bee going on for a while now, so I would bet on some credibility to them.

Unfortunately it doesn't sound like there will be any new iPad anything. But, we can expect Steve to update us on some iPad stats. It'll be interesting to see how sales are going since last we heard.

App Review: ZenClock

ZenClock
By Batsu
Free - Regularly $0.99

This is a really simple app. It displays the time and a somewhat relaxing image in the background. It also gives you the option to play sound as well. The two choices are 'Waves' or something they call 'Relax', which sounds like a fire on a beach with a crazy cricket in the background that just never shuts up! Then after a while, chanting starts.

Still, it's free, so check it out if you're bored. You can find it here.
