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."
And here I thought they were finally releasing the successor to the Apple IIGS.
/// even better this time. Or they bristled at the term "Apple ][ Minus" and went back to Integer BASIC without Autostart. Or they followed up on that Pippin console.
Or they fixed up the Apple
Quiet you, it could still happen.
The coolest voice ever.
no bluetooth. doesnt support ogg vorbis. lame.
Has anyone begun selling Video iPod pornography yet?
Cyric Zndovzny at your service.
According to Stuff magazine:
"You'll be able to buy TV shows from the iTunes Music Store - Desperate Housewives, Lost and more shows from ABC and Disney." I guess that means Terry Hatcher will be getting into MY pants!
Talk about unexpected... that Apple sure can keep a secret!
Yes, but can I play xvid or divx encoded videos? You know, all the ones that I created from DVDs I own?
Say it with me now...
iPorn.
Finally I can catch up on shows I missed while driving to work the next day.
See the original thread from the time of the original iPod launch.
Drill baby drill - on Mars
The Pacific is a biiiig ocean.
I sure hope you like "That's So Raven".
Hmmm witty sig or funny sig? Maybe elitest techy sig!
I'm surprised they didn't release a remote with only one button.
'Cause you know, I get really bored when I'm driving alone, and it would be really great if I had something to WATCH to help pass the time!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Maybe it's the new tallscreen format we've been hearing so many rumors about.
-New iMac with built-in Firewire camera
finally, easy out-of-the-box setup for sexcam bunnies....
...mmmm. Batter life.
"LOST" is not something I'd put on a video player, since I currently use my iPod for long plane trips.
But hey, that's just me!
So buy two iPods.
;)

Strange that at the same time they released a video-capable iPod, they release an iMac with a built-in webcam. It's the ultimate porn combo!
So that's it? vi officially wins, at least on OS X?
Go hug some trees.
One of the new features just introduced in the iTunes Music Store is "just for you" (beta) - a suggestion service which, given a record of what music purchases you've already made, will list some other albums you might like to try.
Apple, being Apple, have approached this problem in a different way to the rest of the industry. Where their more pedestrian competitors might offer albums similar to the ones you already own, Apple's groundbreaking system leads me in a much more creative and original direction, offering albums from genres entirely unlike the albums I've bought so far.
You bought The Shadows, Live at the Paris Olympia. We recommend Basement Jaxx, Kish Kash.
You bought Vangelis, Heaven & Hell. We recommend Motörhead, Iron Fist.
I think the internet will soon be abuzz with compliments to this most innovative scheme.
Except (1) it won't run Mac OS X, and (2) it won't be a Powerbook.
You do realize that there's more to a computer than which company manufactured the microchip, right?
