Why does the iPod dock have an IR port?
The new one.
I can see absolutely no obvious reason for it. If you want Front Row, buy an iMac or mayyyyyybe in the future just buy it and the FR hardware for your G5-toting Mac.
So what on earth is the new dock doing sporting an IR input for?
Do I smell an accessory for older iPods enabling you to use them as remote controls for Front Row?
Edit: yes, I'm guilty of basic errors. You can buy the remote on the store and use it conrol your iPod. No mystery.

Thats the main reason why I pass this update. Its Apples first foot in video on iPod. But untill I can play H.264 at the same resolution as DVD I won´t replace my colour iPod.
But won´t that actually require a real GPU?
