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."

You didn't RTFA, did you?

It's a sleeve that goes over your ipod, that has a mini hi-def LCD built into it. But here's my question, given the amount of sheer power you ned to decode and play those kinds of movies, how the hell are we going to get the iPod to even PLAY those movies?
