iPod, Meet Camera
AppleInsider reports that on Friday representatives from Apple Japan held a press briefing and displayed a slide of the new $29 iPod Camera Connector. I've got two issues with this: 1) why would Apple quietly reveal this peripheral to a Japanese press gathering? Seems like they would have made a bigger deal of it. There is still no image on their web site, I just checked. 2) Is it as simple as a USB-to-dock adapter? Is there something else to it? Anyone with an iPod photo and a Sendstation PocketDock care to try it? Maybe it is as simple as an adapter but there will be a firmware update that goes along with it? I don't know. It still seems like a useful and convenient accessory. The price of $29 is a good bargain when you consider the cost of a high capacity media card for your camera, and it is multiple times cheaper than those Belkin readers are.
