iPod Video


Image by Alexandre Van de Sande
probably anytime before we start writing down our christmas lists apple
is going to release it’s new ipod, an all bets on the net are that is
going to have video support. There is not much inovation on that single
piece, and in a market where windows media mobile failed to get off,
where sony’s PSP have a comfortable large screen for playing games and
watching videos and most important cell phones are already able to
stream any video to their screen apple is going to have to justify it’s
next step. But there is still another bigger challenge on portable
video players: what are they for?

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

My bet, think about portable, not mobile. A mac mini is a portable
computer, but is far from being a mobile computer. It´s easy to carry
it around, 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 over 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 personal mtv
That´s where apple want us to look. Just a natural extension of your
music iPod, but instead of buying 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. An iPod
as your home media center works as a concurrent of the huge and not so
sucessfull windows media center PC. Or maybe the Xbox, which microsoft
is selling as 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?

3-Be your remote control
It´s reasonable to believe the next iPod will come with bluetooth.
It´s logical to think your iPod dock (or your macmini connecetd to your
home theather) will also have. So why do not control all your movie
functions from the wonderful-easy-to-use-patent-pending iPod interface.
A quick look in the average home user and his one hudred buttons among
his 10 remote controls in his living room reveals to anyone how much we
need an upgrade in that system.
Maybe your next home theather may even come with bluetooth. Or your
movie party friend´s.

4-Never rent a movie again
Never go to a blockbuster again. You could buy whole movies from your
ITMS for a reasonable price and download directly from apple. The
difference between buying or renting a movie are not so big in the end,
you rarely get to see the same movie twice, downloading a movie from
apple would be like a long term renting: you got the right to watch
again the movie you picked up last week.

5-Be your TIVO
At the side of each podcast in the new iTunes you will se a column
entitled "price". Althought until now are podcasts are free, the fact
that this columns is there itches a lot of people. But althought
everyone agrees that it would be foolish and absurd to try to charge
for subscribing to a podcast when there are so many excelent ones free,
most of us wouldn´t be offended if they charge you to subscribe to a
sex and the city sitcom. What if the biggest TV series start being
podcasted? Then apple´s iTunes may be the next big television…

iPod wallet (inside)

The iPod wallet, perfect for stashing spare cash and other small, but important odds and ends.

I decided to go with Velcro to keep the iPod wallet shut. I couldn’t find a hinge that fit well and looked nice and any magnetic fastening would probably kill credit cards I might put in. It’s not very fancy, but it works and doesn’t make the outside ugly.

Music. Feel the beat.

Your greatest hits. And taps. And swipes.
The best things in life have a soundtrack, and that’s where iPod nano shines. The Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way. Tap to play anything you want to hear. Swipe the Home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your Home screen so your music is organized just how you like.

Clip on some tunes.
With the new built-in clip, you can walk, run, ride, or dance with your favorite songs on your sleeve (or pocket, jacket, or bag). The album art of the song you’re listening to fits perfectly on the display.

Play all day. And all night.
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 24 hours of nonstop music. So when you clip on an 8GB or 16GB iPod nano, you’ll have plenty of tunes to make it through your commute, your workout, and beyond.

Shake it up.
Now for something completely random. Give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. Shake to Shuffle is perfect for when you’re not in any particular music mood. You never know what you’re going to hear, and you’ll always be pleasantly surprised.

Genius. The music mixmaster.

Built-in clip.

1.5-inch Multi-Touch color display with 240-by-240-pixel resolution.

8 and 16 GB models in new anodized aluminum colors: silver, graphite, blue, green, orange, pink.

Your own personal DJ.
Say you’re listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the groove. Just tap Genius. It finds other songs on your iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn’t have thought of yourself, create Genius Mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to your iPod nano. Then tap the Genius Mixes icon and rediscover songs you haven’t heard in a while–or find music you forgot you even had.

FM radio. Touch that dial.

Radio nano.
Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song, or program you’re listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favorites.

Live Pause.
If you need to take a break from listening, don’t miss a minute of radio time with Live Pause. Tap to pause a song or show, then tap again to continue where you left off. You can rewind as far back as 15 minutes or fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.

Fitness. Meet your new personal trainer.

Clip and go. And go. And go.
The new iPod nano design actually helps keep you fit. It’s portable and wearable, which makes it runnable, walkable, and workout-able. Clip it on and control your music with just a tap or swipe of a finger, so you can stay focused without fumbling around. For your run, walk, or trip to the gym, a little iPod nano goes a long way.

Stay fit with every step.
iPod nano doubles as a pedometer, which makes it the ideal exercise partner. It keeps track of your steps and helps you meet your fitness goals. Just clip it on and walk on. You can create a daily step goal and check your progress when you upload all your data to the Nike+ website.

Rock your workout.
With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately), iPod nano keeps you motivated from warm-up to cooldown on your run or in the gym. Lace up a pair of Nike+ running shoes and clip on your iPod nano. You’ll watch the miles unfold and hear real-time voice feedback along with your favorite songs. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. It records your pace, time, and distance as you work out and rock out.

iTunes. For your iPod-playing pleasure.

Everything you need to be entertained.
iTunes is the best way to fill your iPod nano with the latest music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. It’s also the best way to browse and organize the ever-expanding digital media collection on your Mac or PC. Everything you buy on the iTunes Store–and any music from CDs you import–appears in your iTunes library. You can make your own playlists, create Genius playlists, choose Genius Mixes, and sync it all to your iPod nano. And you can download iTunes free.

The world’s #1 music store.
Load your iPod nano with your favorite tunes. Or browse over 13 million songs and discover even more. You can search by artist name, song, or album title and handpick exactly the songs you want. Want some help finding new music? The Genius sidebar recommends new music based on the songs you already love. When you find something that sparks your interest, listen to the free 30-second preview. Click once to buy the song and it starts downloading instantly. It’s the fastest, easiest way to build a digital music collection for your iPod nano.

Accessibility

Built-in accessibility.
iPod nano comes with accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy music, audiobooks, and more.

VoiceOver
iPod nano features VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPod nano. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. VoiceOver tells you the name of the song or artist–and it speaks 29 languages.

White on Black
If you prefer higher contrast, iPod nano lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as on the Home screen.

Mono Audio
If your hearing is limited in one ear, turn on Mono Audio to route audio into both earbuds so you can hear both channels in either ear.
