Apple’s new iTunes 4.9, iPod color, allows you to view (and listen to) “enhanced podcasts”. These are audio files that can have slideshows, URLs and other features. Is an iTunes Movie store next? The Playstation Portable browser will be able to download via WiFi hot spots. Perhaps a vPod will have similar capabilities.

The $129.99 Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder (above) enables you to capture content from any analog video source, including cable or satellite television, DVD players, VCRs, camcorders, and PVR. Think of the NMR as a handy MPEG 4 conversion tool. It uses Compact Flash or Secure Digital (SD) memory cards as the storage medium. You can view the encoded broadcasts on your TV, or transfer that content onto a Laptop, PDA, SmartPhone or portable media player.
The NMR offers a range of video compression settings, from 1536Kbps down to 384Kbps, allowing you to reduce the picture quality to increase the recording time. A 512MB card will yield over 45 minutes of video in Super Fine mode, or almost 178 minutes using Economy. It features USB 2.0, a remote control, upgradeable firmware, and ships with the Ulead Video ToolBox 2 Home Edition, for added file conversion and editing capabilities on the PC.
The picture is reduced to 352 x 240, though you can knock it back to half that to get more video on your memory card.
Fuji Work is expected to launch the first realtime H.264 encoding device in September. The solid-state device features a Memory Stick Duo slot and is aimed at PSP users looking for the quickest way to get video content onto their portable. It outputs at TV resolution or QVGA resolution for use with the PSP.
