iPod Photo
November 21, 2004Apple’s just released their latest incarnation of the wildly successful iPod: it’s called iPod Photo and it lets you view (what else) photos on the iPod’s 2 inch color screen (64k colors). SRP is $499 for a 40G model. Personally, I’m not impressed, but i can tell you what’s probably in store in the next version: iPod Movie! It’s a simple matter to modify iPod Photo (eg - no additional hardware required) to play movies. In fact, i’m surprised that Apple hasn’t done this yet. ) They’ll need to increase the screen size though to at least 3 inches. (2 inches is way too small to enjoy a movie).
Today, I probably watch more movies that are downloaded off the Internet than from DVDs. (For instance, I have all the good table tennis games from the recent Olympics). Since I have far more bandwidth that I can use at the office, we’ve installed MLDonkey, which is one cool cool piece of software for enabling offline downloads. iPod Movie would save me the additional step of burning the movies to DVD (so as to take home to watch). I’d rather keep the movies on my desktop and just sync them to my iPod whenever I’m about to travel or go on a long trip.
Note to Apple: modify iPod Photo so I can plug a USB card reader (eg compact flash, memory stick, SD, MMC) onto iPod, and be able to import Photos from my Digicam while traveling. It’s a pain to have to import first into a Notebook, then sync the Photos into iPod Photo. When I to Europe this summer I noticed that people were starting to bring tiny notebooks around for the sole purpose of importing photos from their digital cameras for viewing. To me, that seems like overkill. Better to just use an iPod.

Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, where they were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in non-pressurized planes at high altitudes.
