iPod Video


Image by Alexandre Van de Sande
most likely anytime just before we commence writing down our christmas lists apple
is going to release it is new ipod, an all bets on the net are that is
going to have video support. There is not significantly inovation on that single
piece, and in a industry exactly where windows media mobile failed to get off,
exactly where sony’s PSP have a comfy large screen for playing games and
watching videos and most essential cell phones are already in a position to
stream any video to their screen apple is going to have to justify it is
next step. But there is still one more larger challenge on portable
video players: what are they for?

Videos, unlike music, needs your full attention and are
unapropriate for jogging, walking, operating and could be even ilegal although
driving. An typical everyday commute seldom lasts enough for your
typical 40minutes  sitcom episdode. And if you do have a commute longer
than that you most likely won’t want to show off that you are carrying a
400 dollars portable device, let alone rest it in your lap. Possibly you
could want it in the course of a trip, unless it’s an air one as most airplanes
have individual screens for low spending budget seats.This restricts drastically
the usable window for a video iPod but apple appears to insist on it.
They are smarter than me so, let’s attempt to figure out why:

My bet, believe about portable, not mobile. A mac mini is a portable
pc, but is far from getting a mobile computer. It´s straightforward to carry
it about, but you are not carrying it all the time. If ipod tries to
be an all media in one, in your pocket, then I´m with microsoft in the
opinion that thei´ll be won more than by cell phones. But I trust apple´s
inteligence on not going in that direction, but surprising us all.

The new iPod could be:

1-Your individual mtv
That´s exactly where apple want us to appear. Just a natural extension of your
music iPod, but rather of purchasing music you buy video clips at the
ITMS, and let the thingy playing over your deck. But video could go way
beyond that

2-Be your media center
Throw away your phillips DVD  player. Have an iPod deck with video
output. Leave you iPod there, and it´s all the media you need to have. An iPod
as your residence media center works as a concurrent of the large and not so
sucessfull windows media center Pc. Or perhaps the Xbox, which microsoft
is selling as far more than a video game but a whole media center (videos,
music, games) for the teenager. And if  you want to go to a friend´s 
movie party, why not take it all with you?

three-Be your remote control
It´s reasonable to think the subsequent iPod will come with bluetooth.
It´s logical to assume your iPod dock (or your macmini connecetd to your
house theather) will also have. So why do not manage all your movie
functions from the great-simple-to-use-patent-pending iPod interface.
A fast appear in the average home user and his one hudred buttons amongst
his 10 remote controls in his living area reveals to everyone how considerably we
require an upgrade in that system.
Possibly your next house theather may even come with bluetooth. Or your
movie party friend´s.

four-Never ever rent a movie once again
By no means go to a blockbuster once more. You could get entire films from your
ITMS for a reasonable value and download directly from apple. The
distinction between buying or renting a movie are not so large in the end,
you hardly ever get to see the exact same movie twice, downloading a movie from
apple would be like a extended term renting: you got the right to watch
once again the movie you picked up last week.

five-Be your TIVO
At the side of every single podcast in the new iTunes you will se a column
entitled &quotprice&quot. Althought till now are podcasts are free, the fact
that this columns is there itches a lot of men and women. But althought
everybody agrees that it would be foolish and absurd to try to charge
for subscribing to a podcast when there are so numerous excelent ones cost-free,
most of us wouldn´t be offended if they charge you to subscribe to a
sex and the city sitcom. What if the largest Tv series begin becoming
podcasted? Then apple´s iTunes may possibly be the next large tv…
