Tech Update

I've never done a technology piece on the Company Blog but the last week has had the World Wide Web stirring over news and rumors.

If you are in the search for a new phone or tired of your old iPhone, good news is on the way. On October 4, Apple will formally announce the iPhone 5 which is also rumored to be out only ten days later. Additionally, it is rumored that a new version of the iPhone 4 (appropriately called the iPhone 4S) and the iPod Touch will be announced at the same meeting. The story changes with each website (hence, why these are only rumors) and will only be confirmed after the press event.

Speaking of Apple products, rumors are also spiraling out of control that the iPod Classic will be retired soon. This product was launched as early as October 2001 (yes, it's been 10 years) but with the introduction of other products such as the iPhone and iPod Touch has seen sales of the Classic suffer a tad. Some are speculating when (or if) this will happen. It's very possible that it won't be done on October 4. If you want to keep your precious iPod Touch for longer, you should consider getting some promotional iPod accessories on the Motivators website.

Amazon has big news of its own. The geniuses behind the Kindle and changing the face of online shopping have introduced the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire is the company's response to Apple's iPad and will be sold at a fraction of the price - a mere $199. The tablet has WiFi capability, Gorilla Glass screen, lighter weight of the iPad and has access to the Android market. There are some features that are found in the iPad not found in the Kindle Fire - but how could you pass up when it's over $300 cheaper than the iPad?

No matter what you choose, there are promotional iPod holder and cases that are perfect for protecting your new device.
