Griffin ships iTrip for 2G iPod nano

Griffin Technology today began shipping its newly updated iTrip for iPod nano, the latest addition to the company's iTrip product line that is redesigned to fit the sleek lines of the new second-generation iPod nano. iTrip for second-generation Nanos is designed as a grab-and-go solution for users who want to play an iPod on both auto and home stereo systems. The accessory works as a sled, broadcasting the iPod's music wirelessly to the car or home stereo FM radio. Griffin's SmartDisplay technology enables users to view iTrip's setup and control information on the iPod nano screen, and the iTrip automatically adjusts output volume for distortion-free play. The device features a mini-USB port to charge the iPod while in use, and is priced at $50.

iTunes brings back the original Star Trek

Star Trek: The Original Series has returned to Apple's iTunes store after quietly disappearing in February of this year. The first season of the series is available alongside a remastered version of the classic Sci-Fi TV show, with both versions priced at $56.99 each. The remastered edition of Star Trek: The Original Series features "all-new digital effects that hold close to the spirit of the original," according to iTunes, available in their full-length original format without the cuts of syndicated television. "The vivid remastered versions make Star Trek new again, without compromising what made the show a pioneer of modern, continuing-character science fiction."

IK debuts cheaper Miroslav Philharmonik CE

IK Multimedia has released Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition, a new, less expensive version of its virtual orchestra software. Both versions use 1.5GB of samples recorded by Miroslav Vitous in the Dvorák Symphony Hall, which IK believes to give each instrument a more natural and complementary sound. The Classik Edition retains most of the full version's functionality, such as a 16-part multitimbral workstation and multiple synth engines, but has fewer articulations and performance patches. The Mac software requires a 1.5GHz Core Solo processor and Mac OS X 10.4.4, and is also available as an AU, VST or RTAS plug-in. Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition is priced at $250.
