Memorex readies handheld iPod videoscreen
iFlip waves farewell to portable DVD players?
27th July 2006 10:16 GMT
Memorex is preparing an iPod accessory that converts the diminutive digital music player into one of those portable DVD display machines - minus the optical drive, of course. Dubbed the iFlip, the unit connects a stowed video-capable iPod to an 8.4in, 480 x 234 widescreen LCD.
Memorex officially leaked (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/memorex-reveals-iflip-portable-video-player-for-ipod1/?www.reghardware.co.uk) details and pics of the product to iPod-accessory website iLounge. The iFlip has its own battery and a pair of built-in speakers, though you can also use the headphone sockets - Memorex is including two for shared listening. It also has an s-video port for a TV connection.
Unsurprisingly, the iFlip will ship in black and white versions when it comes to market in September. It's expected to retail for around $200. ®
