The Apple iPod is a name that's always been linked to music and audio on the go, and now that there's an iPod that can play videos as well as music, music fans will be able to enjoy both.
Find out how to make your iPod's 2.5-inch screen look like a 27-inch TV while you're on the go.
The Apple iPod is a name that's always been linked to music and audio on the go, and now that there's an iPod that can play videos as well as music, music fans will be able to enjoy both.
Here's the problem: the screen on an Apple iPod is only 2.5 inches, and there's no doubt that watching videos on a bigger screen would be more fun.
How, then, can the iPod have a bigger screen so that it can also be thought of as a mobile TV?
All you need is a pair of MicroOptical Goggles to turn your iPod into a Mobile TV.
You can wear this goggle over your regular glasses or eyeglasses, or if that doesn't feel right, you can wear it over your contact lenses instead.
The goggles weigh 70 g and have a clip on the back that holds the iPod and a battery pack with three AAA batteries. The iPod's headphone port is used to connect a cable.
With these goggles, you can watch video on what looks like a 27-inch TV screen. The image comes from two tiny LCDs and is sent directly to your eyes through a series of lenses.
Now, if you are always on the go and travelling and need to do research, study, or get information from video clips, you can enjoy 27" equivalency viewing with the Apple iPod.
The only problem with the MicroOptical Corp Goggles is that they are expensive. However, the price is likely to go down as more people buy them. If you don't have the goggles, you have to watch TV on the iPod's 2.5-inch screen or pay about $269 for the goggles so you can use the iPod to watch Mobile TV.
As technology improves, soon the battery pack with three AAA batteries will no longer be needed. This will make it lighter.
In fact, if you can pay for the goggles, there is nothing stopping the iPod from becoming a music player and mobile TV player.
