Very recently, major price drops and device updates were announced for Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, further increasing competition between these e-reader devices and the iPad. Because of these new revelations, the absence of connectivity fees (whereas the iPad still costs to connect), and the fact that they are made specifically for book-enjoying purposes, these e-reader specific devices are beginning to look more attractive to avid readers. On the flip side though, the iPad does allow its users to do a wide range of things that e-reader devices do not. While it certainly depends on how one intends to use the device and how much they actually take advantage of reading capabilities, the changes in this market beg the question of how consumer trends might change: will it make sense to invest in these other devices, even if you have an iPad or iPhone? Will people begin making a switch from Apple products to e-readers? Will apps continue to suffice — or not?

The extra thickness of a case near the 30-pin dock-connector port can often make it impossible to connect your encased device to anything other than a standard Apple 30-pin USB cablea 'a predicament that for years has irked owners of iPhone and iPod speaker docks, alarm clocks, and other such accessories.

Samsung Electronics Co. on Thursday unveiled a new tablet PC named Galaxy Tab as the latest device meant to rival Apple Inc.'s popular iPad.

As I alluded to in an earlier post, Apple just held a music-themed press conference about the new gadgets they plan to release. Here are some of the most notable points:

iPods are getting a facelift. There will be the new iPod Shuffle, a stamp-sized device that holds 15 hours of music and has voice-over playlists. The iPod Nano will be revamped with a completely touch screen, and will incporate iOS — but there has been no mention of app capabilities. Finally, the iPod Touch will be thinner and will feature a retina display and front and rear cameras to enable FaceTime and HD Video recording. Basically, this makes the iPod Touch an iPhone without the actual phone part — it will be interesting to see if this jumpstarts a trend of WiFi, VoIP calling instead of phone plans!

Apple TV was officially introduced (see the earlier post for what it will include), as it will be released later this month. However, Jobs failed to mention anything about apps or FaceTime, so we can only assume that these are features to come.

So even though a lot of talk about features for these devices is only speculation, we can still fantasize about what is to come. What do you hope to see from Apple in the future?
