Technaxx unveils the TouchMe. No, it’s not another Samantha Fox song, it’s just another PMP with a touchscreen display. The new media player features a 2.8-inch screen (320 x 240), a microSD slot, a mic and a USB 2.0 connection. It is compatible with video codecs as MPEG4, AVI, audio formats like MP3, WMA, and image files such as JPG, BMP and TXT. Mind you, it weights only 37 gm and will be available in orange, blue, light-green, black, pink, red and silver flavors. No word on price or availability.

I really like this Naja King stand, providing a nice 360º position grip for your iPhone or iPod Touch devices. This clean designed holder is a flexible three foot metal cable, packed with 7 non-scratching finger grippers that can sit on your desk as an artifact. If this thing looks snaky to you, bear in mind that “Naja” stands for Cobra snakes. This baby cost $40, pretty pricey for a cable.

Nav N’ Go introduces its latest iGO MyWay 8 application, designed to provide GPS navigation services for the iPhone or the iPod Touch devices. The shown prototype is compatible with turn by turn directions and location tracking function, thanks to the built-in WiFi connection and the small GPS receiver, plugged to the dock connector. Only thing left, is for Apple to be kind enough to open the handset for 3rd party developers - hopefully today at the SDK event. Check the videos after the break.
