Apple's line of iPod Touch and iPod Nano music devices also received an upgrade today, with many of the new features of the iPhone 5 also coming to this fifth generation iPod Touch. Both devices will use the new Lightning connector, so an adapter is necessary when using the iPods with any older dock or speaker accessories.

For the first time the iPod Touch comes in five color options and the iPod Nano is returning to the larger screen size of older generations. Expect many of the same features seen in other iPod generations such as a radio and Nike+ fitness on the iPod Nano.

Preorders of the iPod Touch begin Sept. 14 for the 32GB model ($299) and the 64GB model ($399), which will ship in October. The 16GB iPod Nano is available for $149 in October. Keep reading for more on the iPod Touch and Nano features that make it stand out from earlier generations; and then, tell us, do you think there are enough new features in the latest iPod models to warrant an upgrade?

Should Schools Ban iPods to Halt Cheating?

When it comes to technology, kids are often the leaders of the pack.

by POPSUGAR Tech

When it comes to technology, kids are often the leaders of the pack. They'll learn to tweak the newest devices, decorate them with charms and they'll inevitably come up with ways to use technology to "beat the system" at school.

According to USA Today, some teens have actually started hiding their MP3 players in their clothes and using them to cheat during tests, which in turn has pushed schools to ban players during school hours. Here's more:

Devices including iPods and Zunes can be hidden under clothing, with just an earbud and a wire snaking behind an ear and into a shirt collar to give them away, school officials say.

"It doesn't take long to get out of the loop with teenagers," said Mountain View High School Principal Aaron Maybon. "They come up with new and creative ways to cheat pretty fast."

Apparently, the school enacted a ban on digital media players after school officials realized some students were downloading formulas and other material onto the players - an issue which seems to be troubling schools nationwide.

Apple's Latest Project In The Works: Wi-Fi iPods

Can it be?

by POPSUGAR Tech

Can it be? iPods with Wi-Fi wireless connectivity? According to DigiTimes, Apple will be launching new iPods with Wi-Fi in the second half of 2007. They claim that Samsung and Sony will also be following suit, creating similar Wi-Fi compatible products.

Supposedly Apple is hoping that the new Wi-Fi iPod will make it easier and faster for consumers to get content from the online iTunes store. Rather than having to wait to be at your computer, you can instantly download a song directly onto your iPod. Translation- more downloads for Apple equals more mega bucks in the bank.

Although Microsoft's Zune already includes Wi-Fi for song sharing but hasn't been overly popular, we will certainly see an increase in Wi-Fi enabled mp3 players with tons of features in the near future.
