One of the nicest features of the 5th-gen iPod is its ability to output video to a television. This is handy for travelers, as they can take several movies or even a season of their favorite TV show on the road and entertain themselves in their hotel rooms without having to pay $12 or having to explain “Ex Trek: the Next Penetration” to their bosses.
They can simply put their porn sci-fi romance DVD into their computer, use a compression program (like M2 Convert, which we are currently giving away tons of) to get the video into a compatible format, bring some AV cables, and they’re set. But if you’re not a ramblin’ man (sorry, ramblin’ person), there are other options.
The iProjector from Ion Audio is a fairly pedestrian video projector save one notable asset: an iPod dock. The projector puts the video from your iPod out at 800×600 pixels, better than DVD quality.
While there are higher-res projectors out there, and most user’s digital libraries are in other formats, the iProjector is a keen way to keep it simple.
No word on pricing or availability, but that should all become clear after the product is officially launched at CES in January.
