New iPod software has voice, photo features
updated 02:45 pm EDT, Thu October 16, 2003
Apple today , which adds support for new Belkin voice recording and photo storage accessories for dockable iPods, allowing users to record hundreds of hours of audio and store thousands of digital photos on their iPod. Available for both Mac and Windows, the iPod software update also includes faster browsing and accessing of large music libraries, the ability to sync On-The-Go playlists back to iTunes and a new Music Quiz game which tests a player's knowledge of their own iTunes music library.

These new devices ROCK HARD.
The photo thing -- damn that was SO obvious! Why didn't the competition see it? Oops, oh well ... heh heh heh ...
No worries about the iPod losing their #1 status ... after today, I'd have to say that the others should get out of the business soon while there's still some money to be made from the cheapskate lobby. The iPod, quite simply, rules.
Go Apple!

That card reader is $100!
Nice idea, but I don't think I'd spring for one. $100 will buy a lot of photo storage capacity.

windows users have to put up with apple snobs, the ones who are too dumb to know how to use windows. the ones who have to rely on a SINGLE manufacturers whims on what they can have as far as hardware, who have to buy a whole new system instead of dropping in a faster processor, unless they settle for a hack job by a third party. The same people who need an ultra dumbed down system because they are idiots and cant think, or do for themselves. Proabably the same people who can't figure out how to plug in a telephone to a wall jack...

Yes, Macs are ultra-dumbed down. Whatever. I just wrote code to programatically convert bitmapped images in SVG, and I did it on a mac. What have you done are you windows box today, troll?

Wow! Talk about a huge bonus for students. Now students can use their iPods to record the professors lectures and then later edit them down to the juicy bits and simply listen again or type it in to study. That will save them a lot of time. I wish I were a student again. I'd hit up the parents for an Ipod and this new device. You can also store all your papers and other files on the iPod too and carry them around with you. Way cool!!!
