The Apple Ipod touch TV video

I bought one of these ipod touch video wires from ebay and hooked it up to my TV. It didn't work. Apparently, after reading the forums, there is software built in to the apple ipod that updated in the 2nd generation that recognizes un-authentic apple hardware. Prior to that, this would have worked on the 1st generation.

This is a disappointment because all of the original apple equipment is overpriced at the retail level. Many other gadgets I have allow me to use any type of equipment from other manufacturers. For example most USB devices will work on my laptop and netbooks.

I contacted the seller and he refunded my money no questions asked. I guess you have to expect these things when dealing with apple products.

The Apple Ipod touch TV video ouput wire

I am not as excited about my apple iPod touch as much as I use to be, but I do use it everyday. One of the functions I like to check out is the weather forecast of my city and other cities I like to visit. I never cared about the weather so much, but it is convenient to have this application on the front page.

I did order one of those TV wires that I blogged about in: Apple Ipod Touch has TV out capability.

It seems cool and I was able to buy it cheap online. I figured it would be worth trying and seeing if I could make good use of this. I was thinking more of a picture viewer than watching videos on it.



Another video of a mac nerd guy demonstrating the Ipod touch capability. The video he shows is of himself. Quite humorous but only nerds can appreciate this guy's wit. Doh!

Ipod and Netflix = Phoneflix

This new free application Phoneflix I downloaded makes it convenient to manage my netflix queue. No, I still can't watch streaming netflix movies yet on my Ipod Touch, but I am sure it will eventually happen.

I found a video of the app on a different device but it works identical. Funny, the youtube video is OK, but the guy needs to sound more normal than a robot.

My 1st Apple Ipod Touch video

OK, I was surfing the internet on a safari browser and saw this good review of the Apple Ipod Touch 2nd generation. Also know as 2G. This is the previous version because Apple just released the 3rd Generation aka 3G at a lower price with the previous firmware updates included.

What can I say, I still love this gadget and think in the future if I can get a great deal I might upgrade to to newest one with more memory. I think getting the cheapest in the beginning is good because you want to play with it and make sure you like it.

Here is the video from CNET.

Apple Ipod Touch has TV out capability

OK, while I was exploring the settings on my Apple Ipod Touch I saw a TV out function in the settings area. I wondered what this could be. So I checked out the internet and I guess there is a cable that allows you to connect the Ipod Touch to a TV and have it become a monitor. I found this video, and am considering buying the cable if it looks like it would be fun to have and use.

These kids are playing a video game and can see it on the big screen. Very fun!

I did see another application that allows you to watch TV on your Ipod touch. I will blog about that next time after I download it and check it out.
