Hint at iPod Video??!?!

well now thats interesting............

 

The iPod support pages have had that option for at least 6 months maybe longer, and it has been mentioned before on this form and others. AppleCare refers to the display of the iPod interface as "video."

 

My interpretation of "has video but unresponsive" is "the screen is lit up and I can read stuff, but I can't make the iPod do anything".

 

I herd about that about 6 months ago...

 

I hope this ends up being a firmware upgrade for all colour ipods.

 

iPod Photos have an option to output a slideshow of images to an external video. But that doesn't mean it's "video", i.e., a continuous stream of visual information.

 

i guess i'll post this again


its gunna happen eventually...

 

I don't interpret that as it's gunna happen. I interpret that as a generic message for filetypes not supported by ipods. (wmas, compressed zips, etc.). saying 'they cannot be played on this iPod' is a little vague and confusing which calls for some speculation. But I'm sticking w/ this being a misunderstanding.

 

Its going to happen, but I don't think that it will slip out like this. Apple is too good at keeping secrets.

 

How many times will this stupid thing come up? People will grasp at anything.

 

yeah but...ehhhh its still possible

 

A little too sensitive aren't we?

There's nothing wrong with blurting out crazy ideas like that, just as long as you don't mind getting called on how ridiculous they are because you didn't give them more than two seconds of actual thought.

 

your a jerk. this is a rumors site.

 

What exactly is your point? What did I have to say that disputed that fact? You're boring me.

 

*ignores the agruing pair*

Yeah that is pretty old. I think it's all but guaranteed that Apple will come out with an iPod video soon, if not this fall. I actually decided to put off buying an iPod because I want this video iPod. My biggest draw is, imagine that you can create a killer presentation with Keynote, put it on the iPod, and use it to give your presentations in class! Just imagine. You walk up to the front empty-handed to the wonder if the classmates. Murmurs of "he's dead" or "he's getting a F-Pie in the face" stalls as you pull out the iPod, grab the VGA cable and hook it up, and BAM! Your PowerPoint-Owning Keynote presentation comes up, and you open your mouth for the greatest presentation of your life... until the next one.

Ok I'll stop now. But I. Want. That. iPod. Video. Now.

 

A reminder that personnal insults are not tolerated here. Don't make edesignuk come in here. He will turn this car around Misters!

Anyway, I'll just say what perhaps should have been said to begin with. Nice find, seen it before, but cool none-the-less. Here's hoping Apple will deliver, but at this point I'm not really interested. Maybe I'll change my tune depending on how well they can pull it off. If true. Speculate on.

 

Very nice find
