                 Transform your iPod into a video player with Nyko's intriguing MoviePlayer January 5, 2005; 5:30 p.m.  The product: Nyko Technologies' MoviePlayer may be the ultimate iPod accessory. Consisting of a 3.5-inch full-color LCD, which folds closed like a laptop, and a control panel, the MoviePlayer actually houses an iPod and turns it into a media player. Mac- and Windows-compatible software is capable of converting video, photo, and other media files for use on the MoviePlayer. In addition, a built-in lithium-ion battery adds three additional hours of playtime to the iPod. Designed to match the iPod aesthetic, the innovative MoviePlayer looks to transform an iPod into a media monster. Other features and specs include:
The prospects: The photos look dandy, but they are computer-aided renderings. But the MoviePlayer makes sense, as it simply harnesses the iPod's basic identity as a portable hard drive. Add some minimalist iPod design flair, a nice big color screen, and some user-friendly controls, and you have a potential hit--a product that has a potential user base in the millions.
