Unlimited iPod movies!

Just a little tip, in case you didn’t know…if you have a video iPod you can connect it to your TV (as long as your TV has the ability to receive video input) and watch any movies you download to your iPod.  *

So, you’re not just limited to watching movies on the iPod…how cool is that?  I found a place that you can download almost anything you could possibly want to watch, and it’s inexpensive….right now they’re running a special…only $36 for unlimited, lifetime access!

With the iPod Nano and iPod video out, the earlier iPods are often overlooked. Take for instance the iPod Mini. It can hold up to 6GB of songs, is in a small, compact package and even comes in different colors…so there’s still some cool factor to it.

Even though it has a monochrome screen and of course doesn’t show videos, it still is a great MP3 player. There are also still a lot of accessories available for the Mini, and since it’s no longer being manufactured you can usually pick them up a lot cheaper than those for the Nano.

Ebay is probably your best bet for an iPod Mini, but the Apple Store often has refurbished models too. (Refurbished iPod mini - 6 GB Blue)  Either way, you get a great MP3 player with up to 6 times the space you’ll get on the new Nano.

I give the iPod Mini -

I have an old 2nd Gen iPod and I’ve been eager to upgrade for quite some time. I’m having a hard time deciding between the small, sleek Nano or go for the gusto with one of the 30G models. I came across this deal on refurbished iPods and thought I’d share:

Save 44% on a 20GB refurbished iPod or 46% on a 40GB refurbished iPod,
only at the Apple Store. While supplies last.

When I first bought my iPod Shuffle a friend of mine asked me why I wanted one, since I already had an iPod. Well the iPod I have is the older 2nd generation 10G and although I absolutely love it, it isn’t always convenient to carry with me.

The Shuffle is great for using when going to the gym, or walking the dogs. I also use it at work. Not only is it small, lightweight and convenient but it prevents me from dragging my older iPod across the floor when I jump up from my desk to do something, forgetting that I’m tethered to it via the headphones. (Yes, I have done that)

One of my favorite things about my Shuffle is that I don’t need any extra cables to charge it or download music to it. It just plugs right into the USB port of either my Dell laptop or my Mac Powerbook. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

(I somehow misplaced the cable and AC adapter for my iPod and haven’t been able to charge it or update music on it for weeks. It’s not so easy to pick up replacement cables for the older iPods, what a pain!)

Right now you can pick up a 512MB Shuffe for around $69…which is a great deal! It holds approximately 120 songs which is plenty of music for a day at work. I highly recommend picking up one of these if you like to take your music with you, and you want something inexpensive and convenient.

(Click on the photo above to check out the latest prices at Amazon…they were selling the 512MB Shuffle for only $59.99!)

NOTE: If  you’re thinking about the 1G Shuffle, I’d recommend spending a little more for the 1G Nano. It doesn’t cost much more, it has a color screen and a ton more features. Right now you can pick up the black 1GB Nano for only $139.99 at Amazon (the white one is a couple of bucks more)

Apple Computer on Monday revealed it had renewed contracts with the four largest record companies to sell songs through its iTunes digital store at 99 cents each.

Analysts predict a 4GB and 8GB iPod Nano with video is coming our way. But of course, as with all apple rumors, take with a grain of salt. I’m not sure if the nano screen is ideal for video’s.
