iPod Video Add-on Touted
Stuck for ideas of what to do with those gigabytes of empty space on your iPod? Wonder no more. Fresh from CES is a prototype of a gadget which hooks up to everybody's favourite music player, to offer mobile playback on a 3.5" screen - ideal for catching up with your favourites on the move.

The prototype MoviePlayer has apparently been produced by the little-known manufacturer Nyko, with the firm slating its gadget for a potential spring launch on the market. It includes its own, colour screen to replace the smaller, monochrome one on the iPod itself and would hook up to the iPod via the dock port on the bottom. The firm also promises its software, for Windows and the Mac, will be able to convert any video format which can be played on the systems into one which can be taken on the move.

Apple have so far been reluctant to follow a path similar to the Microsoft backed Portable Media Centre (PMC) devices. The iPod Photo was a first step in this direction, and success of products like this, and PMC's, could push Apple further towards a full blown iPod video media player. Nyko's press release notes a variety of other iPod accessories that the company has announced at CES.
