Posted on the March 31st, 2008 under Gadgets by Ryman


Watching videos on a small screen iPod is more or less eye straining. This portable video enlarger is for the travellers who likes to watch videos. The iPod fits perfectly on the side of the unit to protect your unit. It is supports DVD, VCD, CDs, MP3 CDs, and iPod® video/music files and retails at $269.95.

This is the portable DVD player that integrates with 5th Generation video iPod®s, allowing you to watch iPod® videos on a 8 1/2″, 16:9 widescreen LCD that is 2 3/4 times larger than the iPod®s screen. Using active matrix technology, the LCD can redraw images faster than typical LCD monitors, resulting in a sharper, more detailed resolution. An iPod® slides into the front of the video player and is protected by a clear plastic cover, and the dual headphone jacks allow two people to use the video player without disturbing fellow travelers.
