iPod Dreaming
Since Apple isn’t integrating their enormously popular iPod with every household item, the world is dreaming about what it would be like if they did. Peter Burns has imagined this iPod watch that would work with Bluetooth headphones to play your tunes:
The only problem with this design is that the battery life wouldn’t be long enough to last a day. You would have to charge your watch every evening (or maybe every couple hours of listening). Fossil learned the hard way with the Palm watch and the MSN watch that long battery life is essential for usability. We aren’t going to see a iPod watch for a long time. Apple learns very well from the failures of others.
On another note, MAKE magazine has posted this iPod phone.
It’s a Pocket PC phone with an illicit application that works like an iPod. Unlike the iPod watch, this is actually possible to achieve if you are able to get your hands on a copy of pPod, the software running on the Pocket PC phone.
If you have a Treo (or any Palm OS unit), this software from PalmGear looks like it’s pretty useable also: mOcean – PalmGear.com
