Atomic Floyd, a new U.K.-based premium headphone and earphone maker, has introduced its new TwistJax AcousticSteel in-ear earphones. The TwistJax earphones feature a unique Twist 2 Fit system that allows the user to rotate the portion of the earphone that enters the ear canal for a better fit, and are made from Acoustic Steel, a special injection molded metal that is heat treated in order to create thinner walls, maximizing the volume of the acoustic…

Google has admitted to using undocumented application programming interfaces, or APIs, in its latest version of Google Mobile App, breaking App Store rules. The APIs in question allows the application to use the proximity sensors to prompt for a voice search. Developers are only supposed to use published APIs in their applications, as unpublished APIs often change with different versions of the software, in some cases “breaking” applications…

Made from 100% polyurethane, the cases offer full access to all ports and controls, and are designed to be compatible with most iPod accessories.

As a clone of Griffin’s Elan Form cases, Case-Mate’s new Dockster for iPhone 3G ($30), iPod nano 4G ($15), and iPod touch 2G ($30) is a plastic shell with a thin layer of leather covering part of its exterior surfaces. The Dockster name comes from its ability to slide its bottom half off for easy use with form-fitting docks — not that they’re common for these devices — as well as other potentially incompatible accessories. Case-Mate includes protective…

Case-mate’s latest Signature Series Leather Case ($30) is for the iPod touch 2G, using the same combination of a hardshell and black leather coating we’ve seen in earlier generations of the product. This one looks to be nicely sculpted to the new iPod touch, with an improved full face screen protector that leaves only the Home button open; the top, bottom, and side buttons are also exposed in the reasonably priced design….

Trading on the name of the company’s previous, protective cases for the iPhone and iPhone 3G, Case-Mate’s new Naked Case for iPod nano 4G ($20) is a clear hard plastic shell with integrated screen coverage, but no included Click Wheel protector — a surprise given the company’s typically comprehensive approach to protecting iPods’ faces. The two-piece shell slides open on the back to let you insert the nano, and frames part of its face with a ring…

Based on the same concept as prior cases from Case-Mate, iFrogz, and BES, Case-Mate’s latest Vroom Cases ($15) have been resized to fit the iPod nano 4G and iPod touch 2G. They’re all black, and look like tire treads, particularly on their back surfaces; screen and control protectors are included to keep the iPods’ glass safe inside. We continue to be pleased by their affordable prices….
