New: video iPod, and video...iMac?
« on: 12 October 2005, 21:53 »
http://www.apple.com/ipod

The new iPod is thinner, 30/60GB for $299/$399, and plays MPEG4 video.  The new iMac has a built-in iSight camera, and a remote which allows for a few DVR-like functions.  Not to mention they inproved the computer itself a bit (100MHz more CPU, new video card, DDR2 RAM).

Awesome day.  Can't wait for the webcast to come out.

EDIT: Also, it seems that Apple has put the eMac back into the education store ONLY.  Which kinda sucks because the eMac is a great budget machine.

I just wish the new video store had more selections. I'd really love to be able to get episodes of Enterprise and Stargate.
Go the fuck ~

I wonder, in terms of it's mp3 playback ability (which you know it must have) will the vid iPod have some sort of fancy-ass visualazation system if you just want to play your Milli Vanilli mp3s?

The videos are in AVC/AAC.
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
