Today is Apple’s Only Rock & Roll event where they are expected to launch a new line of iPod touches and nanos. Well, it seems like the company may also be launching a new classic as they have cut the prices across the board for all iPod touch models.

The 8GB, 16GB and 32GB iPod touches have been dropped from $229, $299 and $399 to $189, $249 and $279, respectively. The classic on the other hand is now priced at $229, down from $249 and the 8GB and 16GB nano has had its price dropped from $149 and $199 to $129 and $149.

So folks, now we’ll just have to play the waiting game until the actual even begins.

Do you have a mobile phone? Is it capable of checking email? Well then, you probably don’t have one of Peek’s mobile email devices. But, for those of you looking to pick up one of said devices, read on.

It was recently announced that Peek would be lowering the price of their two devices, the Pronto and the Classic, to $60 and $20, respectively.

Nokia has a new phone, the 6216 classic NFC phone. It’s the third phone that uses that NFC or Near Field Communications technology but it’s also the first one that will allow carriers to build NFC services straight into your SIM card. NFC technology will let devices transfer data between them by simply tapping them together. By data we mean image files, video files, contacts, music and everything else you can imagine.

Nokia’s head of NFC, Jeremy Belostock, had this to say about the phone:

The Nokia 6216 classic will be amongst the first commercial devices in the market complying with operator requirements using the SIM card in connection to secure transactions with Near Field Communications. With the Nokia 6216 classic in your pocket and the ticketing applications on the SIM you can replace the multitude of cards in your wallet. Having the applications on the SIM consumers can bring their secure applications to their next Nokia NFC enabled phone.

The phone itself will offer you quad-band GSM, dual-band 3G, a 2-inch QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, microSDHC support, Bluetooth and about 22MB of memory. The phone will be available later this year for around $195. Would you swap your smartphone with an NFC phone like the 6216?

Audioengine has developed a tiny gadget called the W2 which will bring your iPod wireless connectivity. And I am not talking about the iPod touch which already has WiFi support. The wireless adapter will give you a different kind of WiFi connectivity. It will connect to your iPod and you will be able to use it to connect your iPod to your computers or to your stereo system. That means you could stream music from your iPod to your sound system without using any cables.

The W2 has two components. The receiver connects with the sound system while the sending unit will be connected to your dock connector. The whole ensemble work over 2.4GHz in a 30 foot radius. The W2 will connect with the iPod classic, nano 2G or later and with the touch. The W2 costs $170 and for that price you will get both the sender and receiver, the USB power adapter, the 3.5mm TRS to RCA adapter and an audio cable. Santa is on his way as we speak. It might be too late for asking him for the W2.

All you sweet-toothed iPhone owners, here’s something that you might be interested in. A case shaped like a chocolate bar for your adorable first-gen iPhone.

But if you still want it, head over to GizFever to get your saccharine fix at just $29.99.
