OGG on iPod: Why the iPod May Not Have
the Horsepower for OGG

ipod.jpg imageEngineer Hugo Fiennes took a break from his day job as a hardware and firmware designer at Rio Audio (maker of the iPod competitor Karma player, among other things) to give us some more info on the OGG-on-iPod plausibility, including why the iPod mini (and future iPods) might have a better shot at getting OGG support than the older, whiter iPods. There's even information about why Apple may have chosen to implement their 'Lossless AAC' instead of the more widely adopted FLAC lossless format.

Hugo's analysis after the jump:

03/31/2005 07:35 PM
Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

iPod, iPod mini
08/13/2004 07:17 AM
Griffin Technology has introduced RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo. Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the 1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

Tokyo-based Tunewear on Wednesday announced four new accessories for use with the iPod or iPod mini: Prie Hook cases, Poptune removable wrappers, Waterwear water-resistant cases and aluminum clips for the company's Icewear mini cases. Prie Hook, which will ship in mid-January for US$54, features a large metal hook that you can use to attach the leather case to a belt loop or other spot. A flap at the bottom opens for charging the MP3 player in a dock; slots at the top and bottom allow access to all the ports. It's available in two models, one that fits all 4G iPods -- including the iPod photo -- and one that fits the iPod mini; the hook on the latter doesn't swivel 360 degrees, however.

06/21/2004 01:46 PM
SendStation Systems and RadTech have released two new PocketDock models and MiniSleevz for iPod mini, respectively. SendStation's PocketDock is an adapter that allows users to connect their iPods to their Macs with standard FireWire cables instead of Apple's docking cables. The company's new PocketDock Combo (US$22.95) contains USB and FireWire ports that accept standard USB cables as well as 6-pin FireWire cables. The PocketDo ck Line Out ($29.95) also features a 6-pin FireWire port but adds a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack that bypasses the iPod's headphones amplifier for better sound quality when connecting the MP3 player to external speakers. It comes with two six-foot white audio cables. Both PocketDock models are available now and are compatible with Apple's 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40GB iPods, as well as the iPod mini.

While everyone else is scrambling around trying to design an iPod killer, the folks over at HP figured why bother? They've gone and licensed the technology directly from Apple and will start selling their own branded version of the iPod - complete with iTunes. This is a bit surprising, because you'd expect HP to just sign up for a Microsoft-supported product instead. Still, any bets on whether or not this device will be called the HPod?

Either the Mini isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the site.

iPod therefore I am


iPod therefore I am 02/01/2005 09:36 PM
iPod consumers are being asked to participate in research dedicated to the study of iPod experiences. Markus Giesler, an assistant professor of marketing at the Schulich School of Business in Toronto, has set up a research homepage dedicated to the study of iPod consumers and their iPod related stories and consumption experiences. Called Welcome to the iPod Experience, the homepage lists ways iPod users can contribute to the study. Giesler has posted a series of questions on the homepage for iPod users to reply to. These include: How long have you been using your iPod now? How did you learn of it? Did you ever own a different mp3 player? Do you use special iPod accessory? Are you a Mac or PC user? “Now why am I doing research on iPod consumption?” says Giesler. “First of all, because I'm a proud owner of one of these nice little devices! And, second, because I believe we should find out more about the ways in which we use the iPod, how we interact with it and also other iPod users, in short, our everyday iPod experiences, our stories, our adventures.” The Canadian researcher has previously studied Napster and the implications of file-sharing on society.
