The iPod Gets WiFi, Sort Of

Posted by michael on from the wozniak-too-busy-speaking-at-conferences dept.

thecounterfeit writes "Engadget has a story on Pocketster Pro, a new application that lets you add WiFi to the iPod. The catch? You have to connect it to a Pocket PC with both USB Host capability and WiFi first, but once it's up and running you can wirelessly swap tunes with any other similarly equipped iPods."

  1. Holy battery drainer, batman! by Shoeler · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let's see - my iPaq with wifi gets maybe 1.5-2 hours of playtime.

    Add USB usage and that's gotta drop - at least a little.

    Add processing for data transfer.

    Add external battery.

    Call this a novelty, I will.

    Why don't we just connect iPod to a iBook, which conects to a AirPort? This will keep everything in the same franchise :)
