High-Definition Video Add-on Coming to iPod

Rofy89 writes "In about five months, you'll be able to watch high-definition video on your iPod. New startup, ATO, will come out with a sleeve with a built-in LCD (liquid crystal display) screen that slips around Apple Computer's iPod — whether it's a video iPod or not — and turns it into a portable high-definition video player. The HD player will sell for between US$199 and US$250. The initial players will be able to handle MPEG 4, Divx, HD.264 and other video formats. The battery on the device will last about five hours."

Until Apple fixes their store's i18n...

[Dorceon]

However useful an iPod add-on is, there's no way I'm getting an iPod until Apple fixes their online store's engraving widget. There's no reason the U.S. store should be restricted from using accented and international characters when international versions of the store can have them. If I want to make ascii art in a two line engraving, I need access to some of the stuff from JIS. (If you think this is petty, consider that the version of the store for French-speaking Canadians doesn't allow the use of accented characters.) Of course, as long as Apple refuses to provide a complaint e-mail address that's read by a human, the issue will probably remain.
