[FRIAM] iPod Video

[Mohammed El-Beltagy]

I got a 30GB iPod Video and I am finding that I rarely use the video 
feature. I don't enjoy looking at videos on the tiny screen. Also playing 
videos quickly empties the batteries (2hrs if you are lucky).
I often use it to do simple PowerPoint presentations 
(http://tinyurl.com/r7hy2). It works fine for my students at the university, 
but I would not use it for my client presentations. Your resolution is down 
to 720 x 486 in Pal mode. You can also do the same trick with iPod Photo.
