Many of you have been waiting for Apple to release a video iPod of some sort. Well that day has yet to come true but in the meantime there’s a new accessory out that can turn your existing iPod into a video storage system. The Nyko iPod Movie Player comes with a 4:3 3.6″ LCD display capable of 640×480 resolutions, two 3.5 mm video ports, a dock interface for the iPod, and a USB connection. The software package for this device plays back an impressive array of video formats but currently does not support Mac systems. Here are some final thoughts from iPodLounge:

If its final form is as polished as we expect it to be, the Movie Player will give millions of third-generation, fourth-generation, photo, and mini iPod owners the opportunity to enjoy high-quality videos and better-than-iPod photo-quality photos using their existing iPods as storage devices – a killer idea that could be the must-have accessory of the holiday season. Whether Apple releases its own video-enabled iPod hardware between now and then remains an open question, but for the ten million-plus people with Dock Connecting iPods, Movie Player may wind up being a more affordable alternative. We look forward to seeing it in final form.
