Our sister site AppShopper.com launched its official AppShopper app this morning. AppShopper is an app-tracking website that provides a running list of all the latest changes in the App Store. This includes finding new apps, updates and price changes. A variety of filters can also be used to pinpoint specific interests, such as popular iphone games that are now free. Apps can also be added to personal “Wish Lists” to closely track app sales, price drops and updates.

The new Universal App offers a native AppShopper interface for both iPad and iphone/iPod touch owners. It’s now available as a free download. [iTunes link]

With Apple’s media event just two days away, iPod rumors are swinging into high gear. Rumors of a smaller iPod nano kicked off late last week and have been quickly followed by a flurry purported case leaks and additional claims supporting the belief. 9 to 5 Mac and AppleInsider share some additional cases and screen protectors that have popped up on Asian e-commerce sites with claims that they are for a forthcoming iPod nano model.

Mockup of next-generation iPod nano – almost certainly a speculative design concept
One of the new case leaks offers enough detail that we can begin to guess at some of the physical features of the next-generation iPod nano. A long slot on the edge of case certainly appears to be designed to accommodate Apple’s 30-pin dock connector, which has been claimed to be included on the new device. An elongated hole on the opposite edge likely represents an on/off or hold switch as found on several previous and current iPod models.

Speculative identification of next-generation iPod nano physical features
The remaining three holes visible on the claimed iPod nano case are less obvious in their functionality, but one (possibly the one next to the dock connector) is certain to be a headphone jack. The remaining pair of holes in close proximity along the opposite edge could accommodate physical volume buttons similar to those found on the iphone 4, although that conclusion is the most speculative of the identifications.

Finally, all of the purported cases contain either a completely open back or an open slot on the rear of the case, a feature that is rumored to accommodate a clip as was found on earlier-generation iPod shuffle models.

Well if the rumors are true, then tomorrow, a lot of iPod Nano users will be able to jump on the iOS bandwagon with their iPod Nanos. Based on the screenshots you see above, it also looks like that this iPod will also have wi-fi integrated into it. However, I can’t see any of the regular iOS apps working. If anything, you will be lucky to see the weather app working on there. I should also say that if the screen is going to be that small, then I don’t see how you will be able to watch music videos or movies on such a small screen.

I should also use this as a reminder that if anyone is doing video coverage of the event then I will try and put it here 30 minutes before the event is scheduled to start.

Google has rolled out a new version of its mobile site for visitors outside of the US on Tuesday and with it moving the new experience to HTML5 rather than Flash.

Although the service has been available in the States since July, it was the first time the rest of the world got to play with the new site and new features.

“We tried to make it so snappy and so fast, but run in any browser across platforms,” said Andrey Doronichev, YouTube’s mobile product manager.

The YouTube HTML5 website (m.youtube.com) has, Google says, been designed to offer a consistent user experience on all mobile devices, including the iPod Touch and the iPad. 

That also means it should be “really fast” claim the search engine and feature “larger, more touch-friendly elements,” making it easier to access videos on the go and lots of features and functionality found on the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, the ability to designate “favourite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.

“As the world continues to go mobile, we think this is a great improvement for users who want a more consistent YouTube across many devices, no matter where they are,” Andrey Doronichev back in July.

I have also left a video that shows the HTML5 youtube site in action below

The A.P. is reporting the story of a Dallas man who went out of town to visit relatives 1400 miles away in Hartford, Conn. While he was there he got an alert from his iCam app running on his iphone that motion had been detected in the house — which turned out to be two intruders trying to get in, and eventually throwing a brick through a glass door to gain access.

He called 911 and the next motion alert he received was the arrival of police officers with guns drawn. It isn’t clear from the story if the burglars got away with any loot, but certainly iCam did work and relayed the message to the owner of the house.

We’ve reviewed iCam before. I use it to keep an eye on the house and pets when I’m away, and for the cost of US $4.99 plus a couple of webcams it really is a great low-cost security system. The software can be set to take a rapid series of still photos when motion is detected, so the police should get some shots of the burglars to help make a case when and if they nab them.

Now we can clearly see just how useful it is to have an iphone. Which leads me on to my tip for today. If you want to take extra care of your home, set up a surveillance system and link it to iCam on your iPhone.
