H20 Audio announced today that it’s shipping its H20 Audio for iPod nano, a waterproof housing for the Apple’s petite music player which is waterproof at depths up to 10 feet (3 meters).

“The iPod nano’s compact size and great sound are making it a fastgrowing favorite for adventure sport and outdoor use,” said KristianRauhala, H20 Audio’s CEO. “Everyone from surfers, wakeboarders, waterskiers, and swimmers to joggers and snowboarders can now strap on an H2OAudio for iPod nano using an armband or swim belt and take their soundtrackinto their favorite activity regardless of environmental conditions.”

The H20 Audio housing for iPod nano provides a full view of the nano’s screen, and features patent-pending technology, including an “elastomeric” diagonal T-seal which provides waterproof protection. The “Commander” scroll wheel assembly provides access to the iPod nano’s command function. Of course, being waterproof, the casing also provides serious protection against dirt, scratches, and impacts. The case ships with an armband, but, alas, H20 Audio’s waterproof sport-style headphones are sold separately (although the casig is compatable with waterproof headsets from other makers, so long as they use standard 3.5mm plugs).

The H20 Audio for iPod nano casing sells for $79.99; the waterproof headphones will set you back an additional $39.99.

ChatGPT Pro replaced Gemini Notebook as my favorite research app, and I didn’t see it coming
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

I've been using Gemini Notebook ever since it launched, and for the longest time, it was my go-to app for just about everything. Whether I was researching a topic, organizing work, or studying something new, it became one of those apps I instinctively opened without thinking. When Google kept adding new features, I genuinely believed it had secured a permanent spot in my workflow.

Then, almost without realizing it, ChatGPT Pro took over. I've been using its Work mode for a while now, and somewhere along the way, it replaced Gemini Notebook. Of course, it wasn't an overnight switch. I kept bouncing between the two for weeks, but I gradually found myself reaching for ChatGPT every single time instead. At some point, I realized I hadn't opened Gemini Notebook in days. Now, I honestly don't use it at all.

AI chatbots will happily create fake news articles, and tests show ChatGPT is the worst at it
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

The biggest AI chatbots are supposed to help people find information, not manufacture misinformation. But a new investigation suggests that separating those two jobs isn't as straightforward as many AI companies would like users to believe. A series of tests found that several leading AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Meta AI, could be persuaded to generate fake news stories, fabricated headlines, and even realistic-looking screenshots of well-known media outlets. While every chatbot showed some weaknesses, ChatGPT reportedly performed the worst, producing the most convincing fake content with surprisingly little effort.

The findings come from an investigation by German newsroom CORRECTIV, which tested how the AI assistants responded when asked to create false reports involving sensitive topics such as election fraud, government coups, war, vaccines, climate change, and conspiracy theories.

DeepSeek just slashed AI prices again, and China’s AI race is getting even messier
DeepSeek AI chatbot running on an iPhone.

China's AI race has never really been short on competition, but it's increasingly looking like a battle over who can charge the least rather than who can build the best model.

DeepSeek has unveiled its latest open-weight AI model, called V4-Flash, alongside a dramatic price reduction that makes it significantly cheaper for developers to use. The company has cut token pricing by 50% and has also decided against introducing a previously announced dynamic pricing system that would have increased costs during periods of heavy demand. The new changes paint a clear picture: DeepSeek appears more interested in winning over developers and expanding its user base than maximizing revenue in the short term.
