processors so when should we expect to see them in the macbook airs according to hard Mac Intel is just about ready to launch their ultra low voltage CPUs that would be compatible the core i5 2537 em chip is clocked at one point 4 gigahertz and features a turbo mode reaching two point three gigahertz it also removes the need for nvidia graphics since the graphics are integrated within the processor now seen it has reported that revamped MacBook Airs will be updated in June and this release would enable them to fall in that timetable so if you're waiting for a sandy bridge air like I am then June can't come soon enough noun other product news rumors plenty of people were disappointed with the lack of a camera on the latest ipod nano it's the same nano use like a watch that makes you look like a douchebag but according to taiwanese site apple pro the next gen nano might be bringing back the camera check out this picture now i know we're always a little skeptical with these types of posts but the blurry spy cam shot does have a strong resemblance to the current nanos housing an apple pro was the first to leak the redesign nano screen now September is the time for an ipod refresh so we'll find out around then now also if you want to look into the future even more patently Apple has revealed the big a has won a patent for an all new hybrid display port and USB 3.0 high-speed connector it will use the same 30 pin connector we're familiar with and it shows the ipod has being one of the first devices to use this but it will also be used on future mac hardware and if you thought there wasn't any room to put more buttons on the iphone or ipod touch the big a has also applied for another patent described as a smart bezel this smart bezel would be an illuminated secondary display that would show off illuminated indicators on the bezel and they could morph into various controls for work and play there were talks about Apple completely removing the home button
