Here's a more interesting iPod accessory: the is a special video projector with a docking station to directly connect your video iPod for screening videos and photos.

It features a 800x600 native resolution, 24-bit color, 1000 ANSI lumens brightness, and a projection size of 30 inches by 90 inches. The device will be introduced at CES 2007 by manufacturer ION Audio. No word on the actual performance and quality of the device just yet.

Intriguing.

's a beneficial read for all the home theater and HD geeks out there that sets the record straight on when differences in high resolutions are more easily apparent. The article includes a chart showing, for any given screen size, how close a viewer should sit to the TV to notice the benefits in a higher resolution screen, such as 1080p.

The article concludes that you will have to have a properly set up space, sitting the appropriate distance from your television to notice any benefits of higher resolutions. Otherwise, you won't gain anything from your shiny new plasma or LCD TV. Check out the full feature for more in-depth technical nerdery.

Wal-Mart has officially made their brilliant entry into digital movie downloads this week, with Superman Returns being the first movie title to feature their digital download purcahse options. The DVD contains a "video download feature sticker" on the cover, and customers who are interested can log onto Wal-Mart's website to register and then purchase their movie download. Of course, you'll have to first download the Wal-Mart Video Download Manager software (shiver), and yes, that's PC only.

No Mac support here. You'll also need Windows Media Player 10, as this content is obviously DRM protected. Standard downloads cost $2.

97(640x480 resolution, 1500kbps), and can only be viewed on PCs, or for $1.97, you can download a version compatible with "PlayForSure" portable video players. (Whatever that means.

) There is no iPod support. $3.97 will get you both the standard and portable versions.



Sigh.

Xbox Live Video is liveXbox Live released their last Wednesday and is off to a rip roaring start. Now you can get HD movie rentals over your fat Internet pipe for a mere 6 bucks (or 480 MS points).

Standard definition movies go for $3 as well as HD TV shows and SD shows are $2. Keep in mind these are all rentals meaning they will evaporate after a certain time, but what a cool way to introduce users to IPTV. And there are a few small glitches with the launch since Microsoft apparently doesn't have enough bandwidth to back up the HD downloads, so expect things to be a little pokey.

I don't have an Xbox 360 nor do I plan on getting one but this will be good competition for Apple once they drop their iTV product sometime early next year.
