iLuv Video System Supports iPod with Video, DVD Playback

Monday June 19, 2006
If you’ve got a hankering to enjoy your Apple iPod with video’s video playback features on a larger screen, a company called iLuv may have the answer for you. They’ve recently released a tablet-style portable DVD player called the iLuv Video System which also has an integrated iPod dock built-in for letting one watch the portable media player’s contents on the Video System’s bigger screen.

The iLuv Video System i1055 retails for $249.95. For that $$, one gets a player which displays the video of a DVD or iPod with video on a 7-inch widescreen display. The Video System comes in two colors – black and white – to correspond to the different iPod skin colors. iPod integration is done via a slot in the back of the player, in which the iPod rests and can be charged while at the same time letting a user at the same time enjoy video or music playback through the portable DVD player.

Other features of the iLuv Video System include DVD/VCD/Audio CD/MP3 CD playback support; an “enhanced user interface with detailed controls”; S-video output for TV viewing; dual headphone jacks; slow/fast motion play and zoom operation; and three different power source options, including AC power, a rechargeable battery (up to 2.5 hours of playback) and a car cigarette lighter.
