iPod Video Coming to a Car Near You
_am99_ writes "In the "one more thing" media event today, an iPod that can play Video was announced. The initial content seems to be music videos that can be purchased from the iTunes Music Store." In related news aquachannel writes "Apple has just updated their iPodYourCar page to include a slew of new car companies. This means that there'll be a lot of cars that you can buy off the showroom floor and use your iPod with your car - right off the floor and out of the box."
no bluetooth
honestly. why would you want bluetooth on an ipod. Seriously. How long would it f-ing take to copy an album to the thing?!?!?!
one of my friends was bitching that there weren't any mp3 players with bluetooth. I can't figure out why anyone would want that. bluetooth copies at like what... 5K/sec? do you really want to copy songs to your iPod at modem speeds?
sheesh. You were modded funny. maybe you meant it as a joke. Maybe you didn't. =P

Ewwwwww, coconut...
Oh, and btw, play them in Quicktime Player. For buying, downloading, and keeping track of your video, iTunes is great, but it blows for playback. I think the only thing that the update did was change the name to iTunes 6 and add the Video source. It was cool that the Video source had the Decemberists video for "16 Military Wives" that I downloaded from their site and added to iTunes in 4.8 as well as the Morcheeba video I got through iTunes (at about the same time), but the integration is seriously lacking. Same with the iTMS. I wonder how last minute this was? I had thought they were planning this since video was introduced earlier this summer with 4.7 or 4.8, but this is absolutely a 1.0 release lacking Apple's usual polish. Perhaps podcasting sucked up a lot of resources and this was way down the priority list. Still, the iPod w/ video was in development for a while, they knew this was coming. The iTMS stuff could be fixed later today or next week, but I think it is obvious that iTunes is not meant for video playback. I think all new machines will be shipping with Frontrow (at least all the Intel ones). I wonder when they will make it available for older machines?
They're not rentals. You own them
nice to see Jobs is also a blatent liar.
the public will stop swallowing this bullcrap the second one of these guys has the balls to call it what it is.
"they're not rentals. You hold a personal viewing license that can be revoked at any time per the eula."
That is the truth, what jobs said at the top was a bold faced lie.
