iProjector: video projector with built-in iPod dock
Here's another convincing reason your boss should buy you an iPod. The iProjector is a video projector with a built-in iPod dock. And that dock isn't just for show - with your iPod inserted you can project your videos directly onto your conference room or home theater screen. The dock also charges your iPod battery and if your video source happens to be a plain old DVD player, gaming console or computer - heck, you can attach those things too.The iProjector is scheduled to debut at CES 2007 and is brought to us by Ion Audio, makers of the ITTUSB Turntable, which I happen to love.
Here's what we know about the iProjector so far: It works with iPod with video, iPod photo and iPod nano, supports SVGA 800x600 native resolution, 24-bit color, 1000 ANSI lumens brightness and throws a projection size of 30 inches by 90 inches. Not too shabby! What we don't know yet is the price. Stay tuned till January!

If it played Powerpoint and Keynote presentations you'd have a winner. Otherwise, seems pretty pointless. Not good enough for home use, not enough features for business. No one makes videos for work, they make Powerpoint and Keynote presentations.

Keynote has an excellent "output presentation to QuickTime movie" feature. That, combined with some good editing tools, and you can put together some pretty slick, self-running presentations, complete with voiceovers, fancy editing tricks, etc. So this could be very useful for people who have to give presentations a lot (salesforce, etc.) - just get yourself an iPod, fill it with all your organization's presentations/demos/whatnot, and you're good to go.
Also could be very useful for training. With the various screencast programs out there, you can put together great "how to do " or "how to use program " tutorials, again with voicoevers and all the bells and whistles, and off you go.
