HEXUS.beans :: Apple Announces Video iPod

A video-playing iPod has long been anticipated, but will a QVGA display provide a high enough resolution for movie viewing on the commute to work? In fact, will DRM and copyright issues rear their ugly heads? Perhaps, then, the video capable iPod will give birth to a new wave of video Podcasts (allow us to coin the phrase Vidcast, presuming some witty blogger hasn't done so already) where iPod users will watch... whatever interests them.

woop de f***ing doo. Another iPod product. "Buy this new iPod! It can watch QUICKTIME movies! and at just $19 864 346 946 per unit, IT'S A STEAL!" You might as well just buy an iRiver, more for your money. www.smashmyipod.com

 

Hehehe... C'mon, there's nothing wrong with iPods, they're well designed, look cool and all. Yeah they're expensive, but they're very cool. I have a 60gb iPod, I love it. I also have a 20GB Archos, I actually never take the iPod outside, I'm afraid I'll scratch it but the Archos, that thing's like a tank with big rubber bumpers and stuff, it's ugly too so I don't care if it gets scratched up. One's a fashion statement, the other's practical. I like 'em both but the iPod is a lot prettier.

 

have u heard of the Ipod Shirt Idea? apple are going to make a shirt which stores data using Sugar crystals

 

The whole "musical clothes" idea has been around for ages unholy, you can already buy ski jackets with wiring through the fabric so you can listen to music while snowboarding. Dunno about storage size or anything, but it's pretty much a ski jacket/mp3 player.

 

what about the cap thats a email reader! i made it yesterday i has a PDA Duct Taped to the back

 

another ipod. Apple might as well quite the computer business and concentrate on selling ipod.

 

Did anyone go to the link I posted before? If I had a poaypal account then I'd donate at least $30 to that site, I want to see it get smashed!

 

i would donate the cost of a ipod nano so they can smash a ipod nano at the same time

 

Dumb... If you've got money to waste and want to donate it, I accept paypal, send it to [email protected] through paypal. If I get $1000 I'll smash something better than an iPod or XBox360 or PS3. I'll do something everyone will love. I'll smash a copy of Windows!
There.
Tell me that's not more satisfying.

 

Nah, because I can do that for free right now. Smashing an iPod on camera in front of the sales clerk would be worth it.

 

Ok, Send me $1000 and I'll do that too.
iPod=$250.00
Donations=$1000.00
Look on clerk's face=Worth something
Getting internet dopes to send me money=Priceless.

 

yeah, but they aren't taking a thousand bucks in donations for themselves. They are getting $400 to pay for the iPod, and that's all. They get nothing except the enjoyment of smashing an iPod.

 

and if people donate cause they want to donate over the Goal.
I still say smashing a ipod is betta then smahing a copy of windows... because i dont have a ilegal copy of windows i dont want to have to reinstall with a new activation number

 

Bah... Fine, whatcha want me to smash?
Here's your list of choices.
1. A Fender Stratocaster
2. A PDA
3. A 32" Color Television
4. A light bulb
5. A stuffed teddy bear with Unholy's name on it.

 

5! Definitely 5! Keeping in mind that a stuffed teddy bear is only a couple of bucks. But if it's just a stuffed bear, then it won't smash :| Definitely not the Stratocaster, what year is it?

 

i own a teddy bear????? stop confusing me... i dont own a teddy bear, never have never will

 

We never said you did, you twit. One of the options was to "smash" a teddy bear with your name on it, that's all.
