Review new iPod and iPhone: how to enjoy DVD/Video with all apple devices

[li li]

San Francisco- Apple Inc is hosting a music-themed event Wednesday
that is likely to yield updated iPods and iOS 4.1, though the company
will not confirm any details.
The main focus of the event was iPods, ostensibly -- Apple claimed to
have sold 275 million of them to date. And at the event, Apple chief
Steve Jobs unveiled a slimmer new version of the Touch including
"Retina display," the 24-bit high-quality screen that Apple introduced
with the newest version of its iPhone.
Jobs called the Touch "the number-one portable game player in the
world," noting that over a billion games and entertainment titles have
been sold for it. Though the new Touch shares other hardware
similarities to the latest iPhone (such as front and back cameras), it
doesn't have cellular connectivity, and therefore won't share the
radio issues that haunt the new iPhone.

iPod Touch: Still Top Dog
No surprise here: the iPod touch retains its five-star rating and
Editor's Choice award for its excellent fourth generation model, which
finally includes two cameras, one for still shots and video, and the
other for FaceTime video chat, which works seamlessly. And the
addition of Game Center for social gaming, and Ping for social
networking only promise to make your iPod experience more fun. Every
year now, with the touch, Apple seems to outdo itself and leave the
competition scrambling. In fact, at this point, the iPod touch doesn't
really have much legitimate competition—it seems former competitors
like Samsung are now focusing on tablets, like the upcoming Galaxy
Tab, in an attempt to grab some of the iPad's considerable market
share.
iOS 4.1: Taking HDR photos
Other thing we have more attention is the updated iOS 4.1. When iOS
4.1 ships this week, iPhone and iPod touch users will have a new
feature that allows for better photos in bright lighting: High Dynamic
Range. Apple Insider offers a first look at the new technology built
right in to the iOS Camera application.
HDR photos allow for superior pictures in daylight or other bright
settings. Particularly when a shadow is cast on the subject or a part
of the photo, it allows for a more accurate representation that
doesn't allow the light or shadow sources to overpower the picture and
result in a murky or discolored photo. The new feature aims to prevent
photos that are "blown out" with too much light. It accomplishes this
by taking three photos in rapid succession: one with normal exposure,
one underexposed, and another overexposed.
Tested on an iPhone 4, the HDR function is in fact a great option for
users built right in to the native Camera application. If a picture is
appropriately focused before it is snapped, the resulting photo is
often superior to the regular picture.
iOS 4.1 also fixes bugs that have existed in iOS 4, including a
problematic proximity sensor issue that would cause the touchscreen to
sometimes become active when a user was on a call. It also addresses
problems with Bluetooth connectivity, and slow performance for users
running the iPhone 3G.
The latest version of iOS also brings the ability to upload HD video
over Wi-Fi, including uploads to YouTube. It also allows for TV show
rentals, which were unveiled alongside the new Apple TV introduced
Wednesday. And iOS 4.1 also ships with Game Center, Apple's social
media service for gamers with friend’s lists and achievements.
iOS 4.1 has become available for recent generation iPhones and iPod
touches on Wednesday Sept 8.
To sum up, we find that the new version of iPod and iPhone adds the
battery life, games, HDR photos, video and talking book etc functions,
but the supported formats of video and audio don’t be added.
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from
iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats
2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF,
and WAV
TV and Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per
second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps,
48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4
video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple
Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo
audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to
35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM
stereo audio in .avi file format
They could not support DVDs. Is it possible that we could watch DVD
with iPod? I search this question on Google and find good software to
solve this question. http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html (Nidesoft
DVD Ripper) provides you an easy and fast way to rip dvd to your iPod
and iPhone’s compatible formats, just follow below step by step guide.

Both software are good assistant for iPod and iPhone.

In the conference, Apple Company not only launched the new version of
iPod Touch and iOS 4.1, but also published the updates of iPod
shuffle, iPod nano, iTunes 10 and Apple TV. I don’t introduce them in
this article. If you have some interesting about them, you may search
them on Google.
