New patent filing for iPod
On June 1st was published a filing in which we find out that the inventors describe a wireless handheld device which can ‘compress, enhance, encode, transmit, decompress and display digital video images in real time’. There are examples of iPod-type device with a color display, wireless network support and a decompress device for decompressing live video or similar device that also includes a video camera which has the capability to capture full-motion video and a microphone and also talks about an optional wireless module and A/V module.
It states that the A/V module or wireless module could be manufactured and marketed separately as an add-on module for standard iPods, or could be incorporated into the iPod packaging as an enhanced iPod-type device.
