Playlist Magazine has compiled a nice list of cool iPod gadgets unveiled at CES. Among them is a the Movie Player, from Nyko…
“Nyko also demonstrated a nifty gadget that should satisfy many of those demanding a “video iPod.” Descriptively called Movie Player (although the name may change), it features a 3.5-inch TFT LCD screen, stereo speakers, and playback controls, and plays back video, image, and audio files stored on your iPod. You use the included software on your Mac or PC to convert your multimedia files (.mov, .mpg, .avi, .asf, .wmv, .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .gif, .wma, and .mp3 formats supported) to Movie Player format; you then mount your iPod on your computer as a hard drive and drag the files into a Movie Player folder. When you want to view your files, you slide your iPod into the Movie Player slot; it docks with the iPod and lets you use the Movie Player’s controls to choose and play the desired files. When docked with an iPod, the Movie Player can also record directly from a video or audio source using included AV cables. An internal lithium ion battery powers the unit. According to Nykos, the Movie Player will be available in the third quarter of 2005 and should retail for $199-$249.”
