| Monday TechQuestions #13 - iPod Nano video rumor |
| 02.13.06 (9:26 am) [edit] |
I unfortunately missed posting #13 last week as I was just so busy, so here's Monday TechQuestions #13 this week (better late than never right!).
Q:
I have a quick question for ya. Will there be a new firmware update for the iPod Nano released which will add video playback functionality? I have heard this from a number of Apple & iPod rumor sites but just wondering if there was any truth in the story. As a Nano owner myself, I think it would be cool to see.
A:
Well thanks for your question annonymous. I have also heard these rumors that Apple will be releasing new updated firmware for the iPod Nano but I am pretty confident in saying that Apple has not yet revealed any information to the public regarding such an update. I agree with you, I do own a Nano and I think it could be cool to see video playback on the device, even if the screen size is only 1.5" or so but I think this rumor definately has little truth to it (for now).
Maybe sometime we'll hear something from Apple regarding this but in the meantime, why not check out some open source methods to getting video playback on your iPod. One such project that springs to mind is the iPodLinux project. These guys have re-written the linux kernel to run on iPod hardware to carry out tasks as video playback which you might be interested in. Be sure to check that one out.
Thanks for your questions, and remember to keep them coming. There's no Monday TechQuestion's segment without the input from you guys, and I do appreciate the effort you go through to come up with interesting questions you might want answered.
Thanks guys.

yeah, i have seen the new DS pics. Nintendo are calling it the NintendoDS lite. some people say that it looks better than the current DS, but I personally think the DS atm looks way better than that. this looks too childish and takes away everything Nintendo worked on with the DS to get a more mature audience.
