High-Definition Video Add-on Coming to iPod

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-about-a-mos-def-add-on? dept.

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."

    Ok first off, here is another article on the subject with pictures! : http://news.com.com/2100-1041_3-6098853.html?tag=n efd.top

    So it gives you more of an idea, yes it is HIGH DEF, but the screen is larger because the sleeve has it's own.

    Here's how it looks inside so it gives you an idea : http://news.com.com/2300-1041_3-6099056-2.html?tag =ne.gall.pg

    Anyways I will let you guys debate over this some more to draw your own conclusions as to what this exactly is.
