While trying to find the time to make a post about Toronto's new Brand (Toronto Unlimited) I happend across some new that apple has once again anihilated one of its products..
The Black and white ipod is no longer available. All that is left Is the shuffle, iPod mini(still B&W however), and the iPod Photo. In fact there is no 30GB anymore. Only the 20GB and 60GB remain, and at a decent cost of $379 (CDN) and $519 (CDN) it isn't that bad of a deal.
The 20GB and 60GB have support for Podcast bookmarking, the standard iPod photo features and camera connector support.
While other companies are busy trying to impersonate the iPod (the Ipod MP4 player) Apple continues to improve their products and add new features.
Before I go and purchase an ipod, I will wait for an "iPod Video", but those of you who have an iPod Photo can play Videos!
The iPod Linux folks keep amazing us with how much flexibility they are continually wringing out of the iPod. One of the most recent gemstones is the iPod Linux Video Player. True enough, now an iPod running Linux can playback uncompressed (for now) AVI encoded video on its built-in LCD. The info site provides much more information along with downloadable videos of an iPod playing AVIs, for those not looking to actually install Linux on their iPod, as well as some sample, uncompressed AVIs to play on your Linux-equipped iPod. Most impressive!
Basically, you just have to Install Linux on your iPod, the downside of all this is that it can only play uncompressed AVI files. (The iPod Shuffle advertisements are 115Mb uncompressed) So I can't imagine how much space a television episode or even a full movie might take up.
