This week in iPod or TWII for short.
1) Academic institutions begin podcasting lectures. And not just to students. Now everyone can be bored by “Introductory Agricultural Business and Economics”.
2) Doctors can carry around medical images and more with an open source medical imaging program for the iPod. So get yourself and MRI and download the OsiriX Medical Imaging Software.
3) Research firm Intelliseek, also located in Cincinnati - as is one-half of YL, says that iPod owners are more likely to “create and spread consumer generated media” and to blog about the iPod. Stating that 1% of all blog posts are directly or indirectly about the iPod. So the bottom line is, if you want people to talk about it, make it iPod compatible.
The study finds that iPod users also are product innovators, significantly more likely to own digital video recorders, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, laptop computers and cell phones than non-iPod owners. They tend to link to the Internet via broadband and wireless connections, and are more likely than others to skip past or filter advertisements, especially online, a behavior that may be linked as much to high usability/interface expectations as it is to a dislike of advertising.
4) How about building the world’s largest iPod dock? For $1,015 you can build a iPod dock that will let you rip LPs to your iPod.
