Just found an interesting pricing today. I am planning to get an iPod Touch, and found out FS is even cheaper than Apple itself.

Futureshop iPod Touch 8GB $239

Apple Store online iPod Touch 8GB $259

However, Apple does provide high quality refurbished ones.

Apple Store refurbished iPod Touch 8GB $229

Basically, here is the list:

Futureshop: $239 + tax +environmental fee for BC (where I am located)

Apple store online: $259 +tax , or refurbished $229 +tax

Apple Store: $259 + tax + environmenttal fee for BC

From a reseller source, $239 is basically the cost for iPod Touch 8GB’s cost. Hmmm, why is Futureshop doing that? Interesting.

However, Apple online does provide engraving service for free for brand new iPod Touch.

Today I brought everyone the review on Lorex LW2100 Wireless Surveillance System.

The whole package includes:

- Surveillance system

- Receiver

- 2 AC adapter (identical, one for the camera and one for the receiver)

- Battery pack, substitude for AC adapter for the camera if you need it to be portable

-Necessary cables and manuals

First of first, I was surprised that I didn’t need to do any setup at all, everything is just plug-and-play. And the instruction on the receiver is quite sale-explained. I don’t want to talk too much on the deatil numbers that are on the package, let’s look at the actual effects of this camera.

(Sorry about my picture on TV since I couldn’t take a good one using my camera, the actual image is better than this one I show here.)

As you can see, the camera actually delivers color image to your monitoring system, in my case, it’s my old traditional TV. However, the camera is a off. Yet, when testing the night mode, it actually impresses me a lot.

When I tested it with all the lights off and it can show my plam very clearly on my TV while I use my hands to cover the camera. .

Just like the wired version, this camera is available in Futureshop and Bestbuy in April, if you want a surveillance system but you don’t want troublesome in setting up nor asking for professional set up, this Lorex LW2100 might be a good choice for you. It supports up to 4 wireless cameras as well.

It’s not officially shown up on Apple’s website yet; but this “rumors” is almost “near to be true” already, waiting for the verbal announcement of Steve Jobs.

Engadget confirms that there is an Apple media event for September 9th.

Apple will be holding a special event called “Let’s Rock” on September 9th where the new iPod Nano is expected to be released.

It’s slimmer and probably thinner. It’s got a ‘widescreen’ probably for the movies. To me, I accept this one more than the 3rd generation– it was a short fat one to me.But to be honest, no big changes to me and I still love my old iPod Nano.

Well, we will wait till it’s announced officially. When they are sold to the public, we can pop up to big stores like BestBuy and Futureshop to have a try.

Now, let’s take a look at the history of iPod Nano:

First Generation

Second Generation

Third Generation

Best Buy US has said to be the first retail giant to sell the Apple iPhone 3G outside of wireless AT&T & Apple Stores.

Will they adopt this in Best Buy Canada and if so, will Future Shop also get a run on the first to sell iPhone 3G in Canada?. So far there is no word on it, but stay tuned! We will find out.

[UPDATED] BestBuy selling iPhone

BestBuy US officially announced on their website, please take a look at it.
