| Your guide to mobile video content for Apple's iPod, Sony's PSP, and more. This edition TiVoToGo, Diggnation, ClubPlanet, and more. |
| TiVoToGo http://www.tivo.com/4.9.4.1.asp Our featured selection this time around is something a bit different. Rather than profiling actual content that you can download, we are focusing on a new software program that will help you procure your own content - from your TiVo recorder. Sure, unofficial programs have been around to transfer digital content from a TiVo to a computer, but this is official software available from TiVo Inc., at a cost of $25. With the TiVo Desktop Plus program, users can transfer television programs from their TiVo to their computer, and then format it for a handful of portable devices. Not only is Apple's iPod with video supported, but also the PlayStation Portable and Creative Zen, among others. The TiVo has become an essential part of many people's viewing habits, and TiVoToGo now makes that content easily portable. It should prove to be a worthy investment for technophiles everywhere. ClubPlanet Television http://www.clubplanet.com/pspvideo/ Hey, who doesn't like to watch drunken people dance? Now you can do it on the go! ClubPlanet Television has made some of their "documentary" videos available in the PSP format via their website. If club culture if your thing, be sure to check out CPTV. Ask an Astronomer http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/ask_astronomer/video/questions.shtml For the kid in all of us is a podcast in which NASA and SIRTF scientists answer questions like "What is a redshift?" and "Why doesn't the moon fall down?" Cute. Stream the videos at the link above, or subscribe to the podcast via iTunes to watch 'em on the go. Diggnation http://revision3.com/diggnation Tech geeks rejoice! Popular website Digg.com sponsors this video podcast that features discussion of recent stories. Over fifty episodes are already available, with topics including video games, computers, and all sorts of grand technology. Subscribe via iTunes. Hope is Emo http://www.hopeisemo.com/ Like making fun of the Hot Topic crowd? So do the guys behind Hope is Emo. These are the same folks behind the hugely popular Ask a Ninja, and Crista Flanagan from MADtv stars as a sad emo girl who wears all black and complains about changing for gym class. Teenage misery is hilarious. |
