OLEDs, and fruit companies
A little bird tells me you will hear more of this...
"And Kodak is quietly shipping 2-inch horizontal OLED screens to a consumer device manufacturer it refused to name. Those screens, configured in the manner of those used in digital cameras, are the first to use active-matrix technology that can play video, said Daniel Gisser of Kodak's display products unit. The product will emerge in the first half of next year, Gisser said."

<strong>My instincts say 75-80% chance.</strong><hr></blockquote>
are those instincts kinda like spiderman's spidesence...or perhaps more fitting, appesence
I saw the article last night and had the same thought, but I guess we'll have to keep watching~
Apple should also do a PDA, not because they're particularly useful, but because people seem to like them for whatever reason, and as long you can knock one off without too much effort, you may as well collect some disposable income along the way.
Apple might just sell more iPods than some Mac models this Christmas season. Digital devices, worth investigating.

Applesauce....
My guess is it's for a color iPod, but it could be a camera I guess. And I agree that Apple should just make a damn PDA simply because it wouldn't be that difficult. The more products they have under $500 the better.
Look at the screen on that article.
What is it??? Hmmmm???
It's ANTZ!!! The movie equivalent of A Bug's Life arch enemy!
If I were Jobs and saw this neat new technology I'd been working on and had ANTZ on it, I'd be pissed. How many movies are out there and they pick the ONE movie to steal a PIXAR idea!
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!
*the companies he's owned.

The iPod will never turn into a movie-playing device. Its build for music, and it will stay with music! Its to small to have anything else in it at present.
But then the iPhone.. Umm...
Well it might be cool if they add wireless 802.11 support to the iPod than you could broadcast the movies to another device sush as video glasses <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
<strong>what about the fabled I-Phone, two inch diagonal would fit just fine. Anyone see the new samsung 5300 G It has a two inch color screen on it , add bluetooth and it replaces a pda and is a phone</strong><hr></blockquote>
as far as camera's and cell phones work, 2" is pretty big, most are 1.7, 1.6 not quite the bit 2.0
not if it was two 2" screens (one on each lense of video glasses) :eek:
<strong>The iPod has a 2" screen. So this is a possibility, just as long as the color screen still has a 10 hour batter life. </strong><hr></blockquote>
actually, if you read the technical mojo of OLED correctly, the move away from LCD should actually INCREASE battery life since it invalidates the need for "power-sucking backlight"
imagine the pitch... "now with 300% more colour and 50% more battery... for 30% less"
and the ANTZ thing instead of Bug's Life might be misdirection (to save holiday sales of current iPod)
In other words they're useless.
