All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large, Multi-Touch screen. And they’ll work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps you can’t do on any other device.

Nike introduces True City, a new application, devised and created by AKQA, for the iPhone that unlocks access to city insiders’ views of sport, life and culture in six of Europe’s most innovative cities: London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam and Barcelona.

The “new plastic casing” will be touch-sensitive, much like Apple’s Magic Mouse, and according to Chen it will also have a 5.0-megapixel camera. The camera will undoubtedly be upgraded in the next iPhone model, so that’s not a far reach for Chen to make, but this new touch-sensitive casing sounds intriguing.

Making the next iPhone completely touch-sensitive sounds slightly redundant, if you ask me. Why would you want to be able to make a gesture on the back of the iPhone with your finger, to answer a call or turn the volume up on your music, when it’s already all too easy to do that on the touchscreen?

Our picks, and yours, for the decade’s best in the marketing, media and agency world. From the overhyped, speculative ashes of the dot-com boom, the Internet saw itself reborn and reorganized—and panting at the end of Google’s tight leash. And this time, the business opportunities were real. Sure, social-media sites like Facebook and YouTube might not be raking in the dough—but they’re viable tools for the branding, marketing and media execs who are learning to use them.

While every Apple Store is in some sense a place of reverence, the new Upper West Side store unabashedly evokes that feeling: The top floor’s a vast open space, enclosed by spartan stone walls which support a massive glass ceiling.

The new iPod nano. Now rocking a video camera, a polished anodized aluminum finish, and a larger screen. Also making its debut: FM radio with Live Pause.

Just installed Snow Leopard last night. For just $29, it is definitely worth the upgrade. I like the new Quicktime player the most with its improved UI and it now supports more video formats. Read the review at Engadget or product descriptions at Apple.

Good news: According to Yann Lafargue, PR guy at TomTom, the incoming TomTom GPS Car Kit will work with the iPod touch, enabling full GPS capabilities in Apple’s smart multimedia player. In other words, the car kit contains a full GPS, which apparently will not only work with the iPod touch, but also replace the iPhone’s GPS with a faster, more accurate unit.

Taiwanese paper Apple Daily reports than Hon Hai Precision Industry—aka Foxconn—is building the Apple tablet using previously rumored 10-inchish screens from WinTek and a battery from Dynapack, for launch in September or October.

AppleInsider says that Dow Jones carried the report as well, though it comes from a paper less well-known than say, DigiTimes. The September or October launch date Apple Daily reports is slightly more aggressive and definite in its time table than the Financial Times report that came out this weekend, which simply said that Apple “racing to offer a portable, full-featured, tablet-sized computer in time for the Christmas shopping season.”

It’s easier than ever to pit Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard head-to-head: They’re launching soon, both within a month of each other—and both are basically glorified service packs of the current OS.

In way, they’re opposites: Windows 7 uses the same core foundation as Vista while fixing issues and prettying up the outside, while Snow Leopard keeps most of the same spots while re-arranging how things work internally. But the mission is the same—to evolve their current OS—not change the whole game. And launching this fall, we can’t avoid a comparison study. The stars of Redmond and Cupertino have never been so closely aligned before.

Though expected to open its doors this fall, mockups of Apple’s Shanghai store have already leaked. We love architect Ben Wood’s mix of Apple’s glass-and-steel minimalism with more traditional Chinese shapes and materials.
