According to one our friend’s recent posts, there are chances that Apple might get the license for Haptic technology. Do you know what the importance of this technology is? Haptic (or force-feedback) technology helps you to ‘feel’ button presses or various interactions with some of our favourite UI which is touchable.

There are various rumors and speculations on which company will be providing this technology to Apple. If we were to believe some sources, Immersion is the company which provided the feedback tech to the whole Nokia group might as well bring the same technology to Apple’s iPhone.

Here is a grapevine for you all. It is believed that Apple is going to release a few of their own iPhone applications and among the iControl could be among the first ones. This was told by one of our unknown reader.

Apple has been working on the iControl for quite sometime. iControl allows you to connect wirelessly to your favourite local iTunes libraries and look out for and play media files from these sources. All these are done with the help of a media navigator which allows for viewing videos, listening to music and many other things.

You've got your spanking new iPod nano w/video.  You're also looking to get in shape, so you've picked up the Nike + iPod Sport Kit.  Thing is, you're a little scared about running around town (or even in the gym) with that expensive little miracle that is your iPod.  Enter Grantwood Technology.

Grantwood's got the Tuneband for iPod nano w/video, a comfy black armband strap with a silicone skin that even protects the iPod's screen.  It comes in black, gray, navy blue, neon green, pink, purple, red, and teal and runs $13.  Want the Shoe Pouch?  just add another $6.

Corporate media conglomerate Clear Channel Radio has made over 340 of its HD Radio stations compatible with iTunes Tagging, Apple's new HD Radio service.  iTunes Tagging was announced over six months ago and allows users to tag whatever radio song they're playing on their iPod.  When the iPod syncs up with the computer, iTunes reads the playlist and makes the tagged tracks available for purchase.

Clear Channel Radio's CEO John Hogan says, "Radio continues to be the number one way that people discover new music, and the HD Radio iTunes tagging capability lets listeners add songs to their iPod playlists with just a push of the button."  Could be a good thing, but right now it just sounds like another way to peddle tracks.

Radiohead continues their digital revolution by launching a Make Your Own Remix concept in support of their latest single, "Nude".  The program is in conjunction with iTunes and Garageband and is available to those who purchase the song.  The download is a special one that will be broken into five "stems" which are separate tracks for the vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and strings.

Because the stems are available as iTunes Plus tracks (non-DRM), Garageband is not required to participate.  There are a number of programs that will accept the protection-free tracks and allow users to remix the song as they please.  The remixes will be uploaded to radioheadremix.com and listeners will vote until the promotion ends on May 1st.

With the state of the world today, especially the controversies in athletics of all kinds, it strikes me as a waste of time to create problems that didn't exist previously.  In the era where performance-enhancing drugs even make their way into bike races, athletic commissions have found the real scourge.  It's name?  iPod.

The world's marathon authority, the IAAF Road Running Commission, will tackle the thorny topic of banning iPods and other portable music players.  The USA Track & Field authority already banned the iPod, supposedly sue to increased insurance rates.  The argument is that the music makes it difficult ot pay attention to one's surroundings, which creates a safety issue.  Stay tuned to see how this one works out.

You gotta love the speed of government offices.  In 2006, Apple, Inc. filed a patent application for a "touch pad for handheld device".  This device is better known as the iPod's scrolling wheel, and its recent patent approval could have surprising implications.

The basic principles behind the iPod's wheel is described in the patent as "a controller disposed inside the housing and configured to acquire motion information from the touch pad assembly and to control various features of the music player based on motion information provided by the touch pad assembly."  The interesting aspect to this tech-speak is that the iPod may not be the only portable media player whose touch interface falls under this description.  As you may know, the newer Zune has a similar interface, so will we see yet another chapter in the Apple-Microsoft saga soon?

You're probably familiar by now with Apple's prospective plans to expand their fitness tracking program with Nike.  Now, there's speculation that the Nike project may just be the beginning.  It looks like Apple may be bringing the iPhone and the iPod into the brave new world of biometrics.

Patent filings have surfaced detailing an Apple fitness system that will incorporate hardware and software, allowing for the use of biometrics and motions sensors.  The system would bring iTunes and your iPod together to track your actual exercises and to challenge other users of the system as you strive toward your personal fitness goals.  Although just research on Apple's behalf, if this system were made real, it would give a whole new meaning to "multiplayer competition".
