As far as I’m aware, our boy Vincent has never been described as psychic but with his trials of a 64GB Samsung SSD NAND drive in a MacBook Pro over at SlashGear it could be that he’s pre-empted Apple’s latest laptop move. AppleInsider quote analyst Gene Munster who has highlighted the solid-state drive as a likely candidate for inclusion in a new addition to the MacBook range, possibly in the form of the subnotebook many have long suspected Cupertino of working on.

Some of you may have already clicked on over to our new site Apple-Touch.com to read about all the iPod Touch news, but for those of you that haven’t let me try and bring you up to speed on this specific problem. Vincent, yeah, Nguyen, the very same one that is an Executive Editor, was able to get his hands on an iPod Touch a full two weeks early only he noticed a problem.

The problem was with the screen, it was really dark, lots of the whites in the video were replaced with darker colors and some of the brighter colors were washed out, the whole effect was reminiscent of a film negative, like the ones from back in the 35mm camera days. So he took his iPod Touch back and exchanged it (I know, some of us can’t even get one, and he got one, and an exchange, I guess that’s just how the cookie crumbles).

Our boy Vincent Nguyen has no sooner dusted himself down after the furore that is IFA 2007, than he’s off to San Francisco to live-blog the Apple Special Event on September 5th. That’s right, while you and I would be turned away at the door (possibly because we’re not wearing ties), our intrepid Vincent has holstered his MacBook Pro, ramped up he “fan boy” playlist on his iPhone and is already crouched and ready to bring you every last sodding detail from what’s expected to be quite a parade of new Apple loveliness, at http://www.myitablet.com/live/.
