Ver vídeos no novo iPod dá onda

The biggest surprise: watching video on the tiny, 2.5-inch screen (320 by 240 pixels) is completely immersive. Three unexpected factors are at work. First, the picture itself is sharp and vivid, with crisp action that never smears; the screen is noticeably brighter than on previous iPods. Second, because the audio is piped directly into your ear sockets, it has much higher fidelity and presence than most people's TV sets. Finally, remember that a 2.5-inch screen a foot from your face fills as much of your vision as a much larger screen that's across the room.
Eu ja imaginava que devia ser maneiro. Taí o David Pogue confirmando. O lance é que a tela do iPod, se você levar em consideração a pequena distância entre os olhos e o iPod, deve ser equivalente a uma tela de 16 ou 20 polegadas a 3 metros de distância. E como a qualidade da tela é excelente e o áudio também, dá onda.
Ah se eles colocassem o Dolby Headphone embutido...

Playlist: Handhelds compared: video iPod vs. PSP

It plays music. It displays photos. Oh, and you can watch video on it, too. No, it’s not the newly unveiled video iPod—this is the Sony PlayStation Portable. And while the PSP has a very different core function—it’s a portable video game console, first and foremost—the are enough similarities between it and the latest round of iPods to merit a side-by-side comparison.

The Clicker: Apple's real plan for iPod video? - Engadget

So why include video at all? Steve Jobs has long maintained that a video iPod wasn't a good idea. He’s firmly dismissed the market for such a player. Why backpedal now? Could it be that this is Apple's attempt to steer the still nascent market right to their front door?

Video iPod plus Front Row: Media Center killer, or shoulder-shrug? | The Register

Five big issues to be dealt with, in turn:
1) Crippled is the new flexible!
2) Low-quality and portable? That must beat actually being good, right?
3) Paid-for is the new free.
4) We've never heard of this "Yoorp" of which you speak.
5) No, the phrase "exchange rate" means nothing to me.

Think Secret - New iPod, iMac, iTunes 6, and more

At Apple's media event Wednesday the company rolled out a new iPod with a larger screen and video playback, introduced a new iMac line with media center-like features, and iTunes 6.
Acho que o mais impressionante é o Front Row. A Apple traz o conceito de media center para o resto de nós... isso vai vender iMacs igual água. E, de repente, tá a Apple concorrendo com tvs, dvd players e afins...
Vale muito a pena ver o vídeo do lançamento. Steve Jobs sempre dá um show.

iPod Nano, ao vivo

Ontem eu vi o Nano ao vivo. Uma menina sentou do meu lado no trem e, numa clara tentativa de humilhar o meu Shuffle, puxou um Nano pretinho e começou a mexer.
Tenho que admitir que a vontade era dizer "ih, olha um avião ali!" e surrupiar o Nano da menina com esse talento brasileiro que a gente tem pra isso.
Só me contive porque tenho tido tanta alegria com o meu Shuffle, que realmente não quero um Nano pra mim. É verdade, essa caixinha de chiclete mudou meu jeito de ouvir música. Conto pra vocês no próximo podcast.

The Register: iPod Nano vs washing machine: who wins?

"The Nano is light enough that it turns out you can't really tell when it's in a shirt pocket and when it's not," explains Jon. "On this Saturday morning it was, and unfortunately the shirt was in the washer. I got ahold of it after about a minute in the dryer, so the little white contraption had already experienced a warm wash, cool rinse and exciting spin cycle.
O mais impressionante dessa história, segundo o pessoal do The Register, é ver que um nerd realmente lava roupa...

Slashdot | Behind The Development Of The iPod nano

A Time Magazine article on the behind-the-scenes development of the iPod nano reveals that development work began just nine months ago, when the iPod mini was still a top-seller.


Acho que o que eu mais gostei foi o seguinte trecho: "It was a gutsy play, and it came from the gut: unlike almost any other high-tech company, Apple refuses to run its decisions by focus groups."

If you've been following the Apple-to-Intel transition, you're going to want to read this whole article. Why? Because I'm going to do something that I almost never do: spill insider information from unnamed sources that I can confirm are in a position to know the score. Note that this isn't the start of some kind of new trend for me. It's just that all this information that I've been sitting on is about to become dated, so it's time to get it out there.
