Though it may seem surprising that Apple would announce a price drop of sorts, you have to agree that pulling down the price of the iPod Touch is a strategy to help spur up the overlooked device. For one, the iPod Touch has been left biting the dust of the iPhone/s, which was practically a better option compared to it since the iPhone could make calls and of course shoot some pictures.

The new iPod Touch will have some enhancements but still fairly trailing the iPhone 4S and maybe even the iPhone 5. It will now have a Retina Display and a rear camera that allows it to shoot 720p videos.

Flipboard is reportedly looking to expand beyond social media and RSS feeds to include TV shows, movies and eventually ebooks to the mix. According to the company’s CEO Mike McCue, video content may be included at the end of the year. In the meantime, it’s good to hear that the popular personalized magazine will be released for the iPhone and iPod Touch users “in a few weeks.” Then, once the iPhone is cleared, I guess Android users will get their Flipboard fix too, though I’m just speculating.

With the impending launch of the iPhone 5, which most predict will rear its head in September or October, there is a lot of hype surrounding Apple products. The iPad 2 was recently predicted to enjoy 10 years of dominance in the tablet market by analysts and the iPod Touch remains the portable media player to beat. Meanwhile the revelation that Apple actually holds more cash than the US government reflects just how important this company and its products have become in the modern world.

With hundreds of thousands of apps available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and many new programs emerging each day, it can be difficult to pick out the ones that you might actually like to download. A quick dissection of the current market will help you choose and possibly discover some unknown gems that will enhance your life.

Recently images showcasing artwork for Cut The Rope 2, the sequel to one of the iPhone and iPad`s top casual gaming titles, hit the internet. The simplistic gameplay of the first title is likely to be retained, albeit with a few notable changes. With 25 million fans around the world the Cut The Rope franchise is arguably second only to Angry Birds when it comes to its iconic status on Apple devices and although the name of its successor is yet to be confirmed, excitement is brewing.

For fans of street art out there the new Banksy-Locations app might be worth splashing out £1.49 for, given its impressive catalogue of the mysterious man`s works and its ability to alert you to their positions so you can see them in person. It does more than just pinpoint each work on a map, it also shows you a gallery of the works and gives information about each. If your Apple device runs iOS 3.0 or later you can use this app to indulge your love of Banksy.

If you have an iPad and a TV tuner installed on your Windows PC then the new Hauppage app might be right up your street. It lets you control the channels and streams remotely so that you can watch content on your tablet without having to sit cramped up in your home office. It runs over your local Wi-Fi network and even operates via 3G if you have the top of the range iPad models so it is truly portable and convenient. This is understandably going to put a bit of strain on your iPad`s battery life and eat into your monthly data allowance, but if you do have Wi-Fi at home it will be an excellent entertainment tool.

Those who have a Kindle account with Amazon and enjoy reading books on their i Phone or iPad will be pleased to hear about the latest updates for the app which arrived in recent weeks.

This means there will be even more consistency and convenience when you switch between devices and consume your daily hit of news.

If you love to travel, whether to historical cities, far-flung ruins, or the tranquil wilderness, UNESCO World Heritage by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd will allow you to browse through the best travel locales in the world. This reference app lists and describes all the remarkable places that were proclaimed as UNESCO World Heritage sites from 1978 to 2010.

Review
UNESCO World Heritage is a universal app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Through this reference, you can learn about some of the world’s most stunning spots, start planning for your next vacation, or view sights you might never have a chance to visit in person. The app offers a list of the current 911 places that are classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites. These include both manmade monuments as well as gorgeous and serene nature spots.

Other than browsing the app’s A-Z list, you can also effortlessly search for sites based on various classification criteria, such as the year inscribed, country, and site classification (cultural, natural, or mixed). You may also bookmark certain sites as favorites and check your most recently viewed sites.

Each site has its own page. Here, you can read about the site, pinpoint its location on a map, and view a photo, although the latter is not available for all sites. Tapping on a text box, map, or photo will allow you to view it in greater detail. Photo quality is pretty good on the iPhone, but average on the iPad, as not all the photos are of adequate resolution. I also wish the app contained more photos. Travelers who are interested in researching places to visit would find greater benefit from this reference app if more travel-related information could be provided about the sites, such as the best spots within an area to visit and transportation details. But as is, this is the only app that’s essentially an encyclopedia of UNESCO World Heritage sites. It’s easy to browse and serves its purpose well.
