iPods are extremely popular nowadays and recent figures do nothing more than to support this statement. Moreover, a recently-conducted study has shown that future cars, starting with the ones manufactured in 2009, will include iPods (or at least iPod connectivity options) as standard, which underlines, once again, that Apple’s devices had a remarkable success all over the world.
And because of that, the number of iPod-compatible accessories has exploded in the last few years but only a few companies actually managed to came out with really useful tools. One of the best examples is given by the “Portable iPod Video Enlarger and DVD Player”, a new device sold by Hammacher Schlemmer which lets you browse iPod content on a 8.5-inch LCD display.
The product is fully-compatible with the fifth generation iPod and is said to provide a 2 ¾ times larger screen than iPods. As expected, the player integrates a stereo headphone jack combined with an AV port to allow you connect it to a stand-alone television.
The rechargeable battery is said to last for up to three hours in continuous DVD playback while the recharging process takes as much as one hour.
One of the most important aspects of the device is the file compatibility which, according to the aforementioned source, includes DVD, VCD, CD, MP3 and all iPod multimedia file formats.
The price of the whole package, which by the way also includes two adapters and a remote control, is around 270 bucks. Taking into consideration that such a tiny device can easily turn an extremely popular gadget into a large-screen DVD player, it may be quite a good addition to your gadget collection.
