iLounge has a story on this video-screen add-on for your iPod Video. While I didn’t buy the iPod specifically for its video abilities, this thing seems to make the video feature much more usable. My only question is what happens when the video is in the 4:3 aspect ratio? Does this thing stretch it to fit 16:9 like my HDTV? Here’s iLuv’s website (iLuv if you follow this trackback can you comment on the aspect ratio thing?). One thing that kills me is during this video “revolution” is that so much of the content is still in 4:3 aspect ratio. I think it’s because some of the big networks are slow to convert. What gives CBS?
On a related note, why do manufacturers think that as the world starts to embrace gigantic big-screen HDTVs video on 2″ screens will also become appealing? I don’t get it.
