News has reached us that Apple is going to launch a new stunning media device called the gPod. This new portable media player from Apple has two major features: games and movies. Other improvements are enhanced battery life and bigger storage capacities.
The gPod is a bit bigger as Apple's iPod Photo but it features a built-in joystick and two buttons to make it a perfect game console. Its 65,536-color LCD display is also 0.5-inch bigger than the iPod photo. Specialists believe that this device could become a serious Sony PSP rival. Here's a quick look at some of the new features offered by the gPod:
