I accidentally my whole location.
I just found this link on Digg's back page, while it doesn't say anything directly about becoming part of the iPod, it sure as hell leads to some interesting speculation.

SAN FRANCISCO — Claiming an industry first, low-power codec IC startup Mobilygen Inc. said Thursday (Dec. 29) that its MG1264 chip supports real-time, high-quality H.264/ACC video capture compatible with Apple Computer's video iPod.

Real-time H.264 encoding, now THAT would be awesome. Now if we can only have that chip inside our PowerMac G5s.


Here's to the Crazy Ones

I was after a method of getting real-time video line in to an iPod, and the iSee 360i looks interesting. The problem is that it's almost the same price as an iPod ANYWAY...

What I'd like to know is whether Apple or any third parties are going down that road anytime soon, or whether a patch is available for the new Video iPods...

I work as a cameraman, and would like the option of having a nice little portable colour monitor for multicamera shoots, so I can match colour balances for different cameras on the fly (without having to lug around lots of kit - just a little gadget would be grand!).

If Apple were worried about video/DVD piracy, then just a video signal without audio would be fine.
