I suppose it was all just a matter of time. The ever popular NES emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch is no longer alone. You can now get a SNES Emulator as well.

All we know at this moment is that someone has indeed coded the emulator and it is still in beta. Watch the video below… We’re sure the app will be going public soon

Well, back in Alaska, I decided to pay for my iPod Touch update. This way I would be able to access Mail, Google maps and so on. I’m pleased to report that after installation everything worked perfectly!

I really like the idea of being able to have the same features as the iPhone users have, and, of course, to be able to rent movies and watch them on the go! However, the new Google Earth feature which finds the location where you “apparently” are does not work properly!

I am in Alaska trying to find my location. Google Earth located me in Kansas! Wow… What am I doing in Kansas?

Is it just my iPod Touch which is having problems to locate me? Are there any other users with the same problem? I hope they find a better way to locate users, otherwise, this could be very misleading!!! Meanwhile, I will get a cup of coffee in Kansas! Oh… wait… I mean, Alaska… they are the same, right?

Did you ever wonder how much work it would be to write native iPhone apps?

Well with a new sevice from Psykoh, LLC called jiggy it just got a whole lot easier.

Now you can write java code and run it on your iphone as a native app with a icon on the home screen like all the other ones. All you need is a browser and an iPhone with installer, and you can get jiggy.

This works of course for the iPod Touch as well.

Third parties are obviously delighted that Apple doesn’t provide iPod buyers with cases. Personally, I’m a bit annoyed that Apple don’t provide a power adapter or AV leads with their iPods, which they did with the iPod Photo.

As this situation isn’t going to change anytime soon, I was in the market for an iPod Touch case.

I like belt clip cases and I decided on the PDair leather case.

The design is a book-like cover that opens up to reveal a clear plastic front that you can operate the iPod Touch through.

The case also comes with a removable plastic stud that you can twist onto the back of the case and then attach a belt clip onto. The stud and belt clip combination makes the case quite bulky but I do like the quick-release button at the top of the clip that allows you to keep the belt clip on your belt while disengaging the iPod Touch from it. To reattach, you simply push the iPod Touch back onto the clip until you hear a click.

After having the case for a couple of weeks, there are a couple of issues I’ve had with it:

1. I find it hard to type near the edges of the iPod Touch screen because the leather rim gets the way.

2. The iPod Touch screen sticks to the transparent plastic in random places and causes an effect similar to air bubbles. It’s a bit annoying when watching a video but doesn’t hamper usage.

Overall though, I am very happy with the case and would recommend it to those looking for a case for their iPod Touch.

More information and pictures are available from the PDair website.

From a company called Ten One Design comes the latest in accessories designed to profit of the thousands of people already owning iPhones or the iPod Touch. The Pogo Stylus claims it allows for the same finger-style motion but with the added precision of a stylus.

“The sleek design of the Pogo Stylus features an ultra-light aluminum body with an anodized finish and laser graphics. The foam tip is soft, yet durable and conforms cleanly and precisely to the multi-touch screen. Sized for accuracy, it does away with the awkward typos and misfires common to fingertip-only use.”

If you need the added accuracy and are willing to stuff your pockets with yet another bulky device… You can pick on up here for $24.95 USD.

Just make sure you don’t loose it.
