As we were thinking, Zune HD is not going to get way that easily with stealing iPod Touch's sales. Here is the most important news at the moment: first, next gen iPod Touch is going to have a camera. Second, guys from Apple are working on a replacement for Cover Flow. The new user interface will be called "Cocktail". Apple was always capable of introducing new and exiting features to its products is a well-known fact. However, Cocktail UI and camera is not enough to rise above Zune HD as many people on Web conclude. Even Apple fanboys admit that a camera on a PMP , even a top range one, is a bit odd. As for me, it looks like they were desperate to think of something else, if Touch needs something else at all. Anyway, more on that from officials is expected next month.

The Sansa Fuze from SanDisk, is a cool little MP3/4 player along the same vein as the iPod Nano. We’ve recently been sent one to play with so here are our thoughts and findings (or a review so to speak). Aesthetically the Fuze is a cute little player.The physical UI consists of a rotating front dial which also acts as the 4 navigation buttons with the center button for selection. The display crisp with a resolution of 220 x 176, large enough for watching the odd music video but you wouldn’t want to watch a feature length film on it. Sound quality was good (though as with just about any MP3 player the supplied headphones aren’t the greatest). What most impressed me about the Fuze are the extra features that you don’t find on other (note iPod) players, including: Built in microphone FM radio microSD Slot, a really cheap way to expand the capacity Easy to transfer files (drag and drop) without the need of propriety software Though there are a few downsides: Propriety USB connectio
