zebedee 1 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3115345.stm UK bans iPod gadget A gadget that lets you send songs from Apple's iPod music player to an FM radio has fallen foul of UK laws. A M Micro, the UK distributor of Griffin Technology which makes the iTrip, said use of the device was prohibited under the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949. The act forbids the use of radio equipment without a licence or an exemption. The iTrip transmits at very low power on an FM frequency and so in theory could interfere with broadcasts from a radio station. ........ Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I might be missing the point here. But why do you want to have small photos on an ipod??? Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I get the impression that some ipodgeeks just go out and buy the new one just to have the latest. - no wonder they're doing well. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 hopefully they'll announce the new one next week during their special iPod/Bono event (26th US time). Otherwise they'll probably announce a U2 Special edition iPod, rumored to be black. Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Well that really goes without saying doesn't it. Although I'm not sure I know many people who go out and buy a new house each time a new one comes out. ipod dudes seem especially like that. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Today I discovered that iPod earphones fit into British Airways headphone jacks. I watched my movie in brilliant loud sound rather than the crap earphones they normally provide. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have a pair of noise cancelling headphones that usually fit into airplane jacks. It has an attachment in the case of a dual input. Makes such a difference, as you say. You can actually hear what's being said. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 If you can cope with the things going into your ear, the in-ear noise cancelling phones are so much better than the crappy things they give you. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 This weeks new ipod The iPod Photo (40GB, $499 and 60GB, $599) is Apple's new top-of-class iPod hardware, holding up to 25,000 digital photos and featuring 15 hours of Music Playback or 5 hours of Slideshow playback. The same general physical size as current iPods, but with a color screen, the iPod Photo now syncs with iTunes 4.7 for music (released today) and iPhoto for pictures. It features a dock with Audio and Video out, a 1.4m AV cable, and a black carrying case. It ships today. The U2 iPod, also called the iPod U2 Special Edition ($349) is a 20GB black and red iPod with the engraved signatures of U2's band members Bono, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton and The Edge on the back. Available in three weeks, the new iPod will not include U2 music as widely rumored, but will include a $50 voucher for purchase of a new Apple "Digital Box Set" called "The Complete U2" with over 400 U2 tracks, including all of U2's albums and a collection of rare and unreleased tracks. The Complete U2 will sell for $149. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 No real benefit. Why pay more money just to carry your pictures around on a 2 inch screen. Not worth it at all. I could carry my pics on a camera phone, but I never looked at them. However the benefit is that you now get a coloured screen. It is a minor improvement and a weak attempt to up-scale the functionality without really offering much at all. They should focus on mixing an iPod with a PDA (vaguely useful) or a mobile phone (more useful) or a camera (most useful). Until then an iPod should just be a music player and let all other ugly brands mutate into crappy half-useful hybrids that sing about CD quality play back.... blah. The all black U2 model looks ok.... minus the red scroll wheel. Link to post Share on other sites
