The iLoad lets you transfer material from your CDs to you iPod at 5 times faster than ‘real time’. And without a computer in the way. So a full audio CD should take around 8 minutes to transfer across. Not a bad idea, eh? Speeds are affected by scratches on the disc though, so very old collections could take 40 years or so to copy across. Or something like that. $299.00.
iLoad offers convenience and portability. No waiting for a computer to “boot” up, no need to fill up a hard disk with large music and video files. Why does your music and video have to be transferred onto a computer just to get it onto your iPod anyway? It doesn’t…with iLoad.
Seems like a pretty cool idea IMO — especially for parents or others who are tech-savvy enough to run an iPod but not necessarily a computer. $300 isn’t too bad either if you can save yourself dozens of tech-support calls by buying them one!
Yeah, I’m sort of thinking along the same lines. Technophobe device.
