Remains of the Day: The New iPod Touch Leaves a Bit to Be Desired [For What It's Worth]

Remains of the Day: The New iPod Touch Leaves a Bit to Be DesiredThe 5th generation iPod touch shows a few weaknesses, Xbox Music launches soon, Amazon discontinues the Kindle DX, and Google adds Google+ results to more users' searches.

  • Geekbench: The New iPod Touch Cannot Hold a Candle to the iPhone 5 iDownloadBlog ran some benchmarks on the new iPod touch, only to find that's it's actually slower than the iPhone 5?a lot slower. This is a bummer for gamers and other users looking to get lots of power out of their device. It also doesn't have an ambient light sensor for auto-brightness, which is a big bummer. [iDownloadBlog]
  • Xbox Music Officially Announced for Windows 8, iOS, and Android Microsoft officially announced its new streaming and downloading music service, Xbox Music, this weekend. It will launch on the Xbox tomorrow, with support for Windows 8, Android, and iOS soon. Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7 were absent from the announcement, and pricing for phones has yet to be revealed.

  • Amazon Quietly Discontinues the Kindle DX The Kindle DX is no longer available on Amazon, strengthening rumors that Amazon was discontinuing the device. Amazon has made no mention of bringing it back, and all mentions of it have been removed from the Kindle family box and the Kindle comparison tables. If you want one, you should grab one from a third party retailer before it's gone. [The eBook Reader]
  • Larger Reach For Your Google+ Activity Earlier this year, Google added social Google+ results to Google searches for everyone that signed up for the social network. Google has now extended that feature to include Gmail users that have logged in, but aren't yet signed up for the service?they'll now see personal results in their searches just like other Google+ users.
