The latest iPod Nano leak from China shows that the next small touch-screen device from Apple will also include a camera? Cool, perhaps, if someone can find a good use for it. Of course, with all leaks, we are still unsure if this is true or not and there will be no way to know until the device is officially announced and shown off by Apple. However, the people ‘leaking’ these photos are the people who showed off the first iPod Nano with a touch-screen, so it is very plausible that this is real. And knowing Apple, they always ‘are limited by hardware designs’ to include a camera in the first iteration of any of their devices. (A la iPad or any other Apple product.)

Just hours ago, a user of Microsoft’s developers forum by the name of Kit3Katz has found and released information on a folder on Microsoft’s XBox website’s server! All that was in the directory an few corrupted images, two green banner images, and this image!
I just checked 20 minutes ago, and the fie was still on their servers and able to be accessed at this link:

neur0n has released updates for both of his custom firmwares! Both 6.37 ME v7 and 6.35 Beta v18!
Like the others in the past, 6.35 is for PSP 2000 models only, but its update brings some cool improvements:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files
Of course, v7 of 6.37 ME has the same updates of:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files

To install the 6.37 ME v7 custom firmware, first, you need to install CFW or HEN like 5.00M33 or 6.35PRO onto your PSP, and then:

• Copy UPDATE folder at ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
• Put 6.37 official update at ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/637.PBP .
• Run installer from xmb.

What is probably the best feature on this is that if you hold the Right trigger whenever you turn your PSP on, it turns it to the recovery menu like most custom firmwares. But when you hold the Home button, you can boot official firmware!

Nintendo hasn’t had the 3DS in America that long and expectations for its sales were high, but who would have though they would not only surpass all other DS sales, but also shatter other records as being the most sold Nintendo handheld in history? Very interesting seeing as how the 3DS is also their most costly.

“Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward.”

Whether or not you’re excited about this handheld, it is very impressive. You’ve got to agree with that.

The new iOS update is here! For now, there is no changes in the signal power in the CDMA models (Verizon, etc.), but AT&T’s will be a minor update, though.
The rest of the changelog is as follows:

• Fixes an occasional graphics glitch on iPod touch (4th generation)
• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
• Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
Alongside that, it does patch over a serious flaw in the mobile web browser… Luckily, there were no exploits being worked on, so no real loss!

Next, XCode has been updated for you developers out there!
Here’s the changelog for that
• Improved Assistant editor logic when switching among different file types

A user interface and the ability to edit and change files such as controller settings, cheat codes, etc. (We do all this over FTP now).
Game menu (we now have to upload one game at the time).
PS3 controller, (we now have to use a USB keyboard).
