For being a “technology leader”, they’ve sure got a horrible site. Good luck finding anything about this device on their site.

Completely agree, rg. What a terrible, disjointed site. Good luck finding the item or even navigating around.

What iPods does this thing work with? Hmm

This is obviously designed for the Vid Ipod.
The question is does it present 4:3 video in 4:3 ratio or does it stretch it?

I sure home iLounge is going to put this thing through the wringer. Based on the research i’ve done i’m still waiting for something like this that doesn’t have any bad caveats! Unfortunately, this one looks kinda cheap, but it is a cheaper price. Hopefully Sonic Impact will fix their streching issue…and lower the price by $100!

As a web designer all I have to say about the website is “eek!” but I am still curious about the product I am defiantly wanting one of these types of products for my iPod but I don’t want to spend too much on it.
