iPod @ CES 2006 Part IV: Follow the iPod & Showstoppers

iLounge 1/9/06

Former Apple personnel used ShowStoppers to unveil iSee ($250), a black brick-shaped accessory for certain Dock Connecting iPods that turns them into video players and recorders. iSee includes a solid, 3.6" screen, a battery pack that provides four hours of battery life for video playback, and cables that let you display video content on a TV - or record video content from one. Video recording takes place VCR-style in real time, so you leave iSee connected to your TV during a football game, and then watch the football game later on its screen....

iSee Clearly Now

ExtremeNano 1/6/06

CES 2006 So you have an older iPod, and you've seen the new video-enabled ones, but you can't really see yourself watching TV episodes on a 2.5-inch screen? And maybe you're not into the idea of paying $1.99 an episode for the shows that are currently available on the iTunes Music Store. A company called Advanced Technology Office (ATO) has created an excellent solution for bringing video to older iPods: the ATO iSee video recorder for the iPod.

It looks a lot like a standalone portable media player, with a 3.6-inch screen on the front, but it has a slot in the back that holds anything from an iPod nano or an iPod mini to a full-size fourth-generation iPod. The kicker? When you slip in your iPod to this puppy, you can record video from any analog source directly onto your iPod and play it back on the iSee's large screen or via a TV output on the included dock. You have to see it to believe it, but it is a very, very interesting idea, and the implementation is genius...

Hands-on with the iSee 360i

Engadget 1/6/06

So last night at ShowStoppers (which is probably the weakest of the evening press events that flock around CES) we got to play with the iSee 360i, a new gadget we'd originally feared would turn out to be mere vaporware. In case you missed the announcement the other day, this thing is a dock for the iPod nano, iPod mini, and 4G and 5G iPods that lets you watch video on a 3.6-inch, 320 x 240 LCD screen (by using your iPod as USB mass storage drive to stash video and music and photos). We figured they'd find themselves on the receiving end of a cease & desist from Apple -- or at least the receiving end of some nastly glares from Stevie J. during Macworld next week -- but apparently the company is made up of ex-Apple people who have managed to secure both Jobs' blessing and a license for their dock adapter....
