The new Ipod Video is to compete with the Sony PSP in the Video Market now with downloadable TV shows and much more, read the newsposts over at our sister site Ipod News here --> http://ipodnews.dcemu.co.uk/ ...

As expected, Apple used its “One More Thing..” keynote today to announce video capable iPods. The new iPod features a 2.5 inch 4:3 screen capable of playing H.264 and MPEG-4 video at 30fps. A little bit of digging on the Apple site shows that the new iPod has a 2-3 hour battery life whilst playing video, depending on whether you pick the 30GB or 60GB model.

Apple has also released iTunes 6, which features a new video content section. Currently there are 2,000 music videos available for download, as well as five TV series (including Lost and Desperate Housewives) from ABC and Disney. Music videos and TV episodes cost $1.99 each.

So what does this all mean for the PSP and the burgeoning popularity of its UMD movie format? Was our prediction that the Sony PSP was about to get pwnt by a video capable iPod correct? It’s early days yet, but it looks like Apple is trying to do the same thing for video as what it did for the music industry: by marketing, distributing and selling movies, TV episodes and music videos online.

There’s also the issue of users putting their own content onto their iPod/PSP. The PSP requires expensive Memory Stick Duo cards as well as a confusing array of software for getting videos in the right format for PSP playback. The hard drive in the new iPod means users won’t need to pay extra to store more videos, with iTunes 6 providing a simple method for users to store and organize their movies.

Whilst there aren’t actually any full length movies available for purchase in the new iTunes, it’s only a matter of time before Apple sorts out contracts with the popular studios. When that happens, the UMD will be like what the CD is to the iTunes Music Store; unnecessarily physical. With a video iPod on one side and a completely games focused Nintendo DS on the other, the Sony PSP is looking increasingly cornered.

[Update: Apple has posted a 7 stage process for getting your videos onto the new iPod with Quicktime 7 Pro. That’s a bit easier than the complete lack of instructions with the PSP now ain’t it?] ...

Rumor has it that a Mario Kart DS bundle is heading our way just in time for the big post-Thanksgiving sales. The bundle will hit on Nov. 28 and come with a copy of the WiFi enabled Mario Kart DS and a DS in a brand-spanking new color: Hot Rod Red (Basically an eyeball searing red.) The bundle will also include a checkered wrist strap and some sweet stickers so you can customize your DS with flames, numbers and other racing images. The whole thing will sell for a cool $150, so save up those clamshells. ...

Microsoft Japan officially announced today that beta testing of Final Fantasy XI for the Xbox 360 will begin with the console's launch in Japan on December 10. Gamers that purchase the limited edition Xbox 360 package will also receive a free FFXI beta test disc, while supplies last.

The limited edition Xbox 360 bundle is a commemorative launch bundle that includes the standard Xbox 360 package, plus a headset for Xbox Live. It's priced at 39,795 yen ($348), the same as the standard version.

Players who wish to participate in ironing out the wrinkles in the game before its official release will be required to sign up for Square Enix's PlayOnline service and Xbox Live's Silver package, both of which are free. ...

Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more. Again. In lighter, thinner 30GB and 60GB models starting at $299, the new iPod is music to your eyes.


Better Yet
Time for the world’s best music player to take the stage for another encore. In 30GB and 60GB(1) models that hold up to 15,000(2) songs, full-color album art and up to 25,000 photos(3), the new iPod makes the most of your music and more. Yeah, you’ve heard that tune before. Only now, you can watch it, too. With support for up to 150 hours(4) of video and a 2.5-inch color display, the new iPod lets you take music videos and TV shows on the road.

More and Less
The new iPod boasts up to 20 hours of battery life(5), five hours more than before. Plus, you get a bigger display and one more iPod color — sleek black. But here’s the kicker: At under half an inch thin, the new 30GB iPod takes up about 45 percent less room than the original iPod. Even the new 60GB model is 10 percent thinner than the fourth-generation 20GB iPod. More features in less space? Sounds like iPod.


Hold Everything
Now you can put all your music in your pocket and still have room for, well, practically everything else. Catch up on your reading with audiobooks. Browse your memories with photo slideshows, complete with music. Watch video podcasts, music videos and your favorite TV shows. Consult your calendar or look up an email address. Even check the time in another city or time your fastest lap. The new iPod keeps it all close at hand.

Spin Some Tunes

Playing your iPod is only half the fun. Try filling it with downloads from the iTunes Music Store. Choose from over 2 million songs, 20,000 podcasts, 2,000 music videos or your favorite ABC and Disney television shows, download them to your Mac or PC and sync them to your iPod. Add an optional audio cable to play music from the iPod to your home stereo or use an optional S-video cable with iPod to play VJ on your TV. You can perform the same big-screen feat with iPod photo slideshows. Oh, and you can do it all from across the room using the optional Universal Dock and handy new Apple remote.

The video iPod won’t disappoint. It feels slim and easy to hold even after two weeks spent with my nano. Video playback is solid. They’re not kidding about 30 fps without sputtering. You can’t fast forward, but you can scroll back and forth on a progress bar—just as you do with music—to jump forward and back in the video. Oh, and the black model is going to be hot. Without the U2 model’s red wheel it’s less of an acquired taste.

The iMac hasn’t changed much. It’s a wee bit thinner and there’s a camera eye / IR detector at the top. The eye is the one thing that doesn’t live up to Apple’s usual panache. It seems an odd black dot in the middle of the iMac’s white forehead.



The remote control, which uses IR is very stylish. It has an iPod Shuffle look and feel and a set of controls set in a circle that resemble the first iPods, but are marked differently. The on-screen menus for Front Row are also iPod-like. One nice touch is the way Front Row blurs out the menu screen on a DVD (You know: “Operation not permitted”) and puts a standardized iPod-like menu over it. My one gripe is that it’s not always clear which button to push on the remote: plus or minus, fast forward or rewind, or something else? The Apple rep told me to press Menu to select the video player from the main Front Row menu. Whoops - you have to press Play (>). Yes, even six buttons can be confusing at first—unusual for Apple.

TV shows on the iMac are a grainy 320 x 240 that looks better in a small window than full screen. It’s not a TiVo replacement, let’s be clear. It’s more like the BitTorrent copies of The Daily Show - a way to catch shows you’d have to miss otherwise, and definitely more reliable than streaming. It’ll be a good alternative to needing to plop in front of the boob tube once more shows become available. The iTunes interface is a lot more consumer friendly than finding and downloading torrents. What it needs most are more shows!

The underrated announcement of the day is iTunes gifting. Those of us who are always evangelizing new bands or you-gotta-hear-this songs to each other now have an easy way to push tracks on our friends and vice versa. Good thing the recipient has to accept the gift, or I’d be jamming everyone’s libraries with Goldfrapp already. ...
