iPod nano + slide viewer = bigger screen
Retro Thing, one of my favorite blogs, points out this clever hack. The iPod nano is great, but that screen is a little small for watching movies. How do you solve that problem? Well, if you have some time, a 35mm slider viewer, and some small speakers you can hack together a solution (as seen in the video).
The movie looks pretty good, though this solution does make the iPod just a little less portable. That's the great thing about hacks, though, they don't need to be practical to be awesome.

Neat hack. Though if I were to use this hack to watch a video at home/office, I may as well watch it on the computer that was used to encode the upside down movie. :)

I'm here for Apple NEWS not Apple OLDS.
Although I see both sides of the argument, I really thought TUAW would be on sites such as gizmodo for any Apple stuff.
On the topic of the post, I think this is a really fun mod, and is pretty cool. But if I remember correctly, the guy had to encode the videos upside down to get them to work?
put up with the olds. other places reported on it before. big deal. you've seen it twice now. i check tuaw because it's in my bookmarks. no other gadget sites are because i dont care enough. this was a neat story.
Wow! This was on Gizmodo and Digg over a month ago. ( http://gizmodo.com/346991/nanoscope-appletv-19730 ). Breaking news!
