rumor has it that there's some new program that's coming out called iBrowse 1.0 that will allow you to access the web from your ipod photo, or give you aim only on ipod normal and ipod mini.

full story here

hm....... what do you think?

05-22-2005, 08:28 PM

fake i think

05-22-2005, 08:29 PM

Well it would help if the iPod had an internet connection so I am going to say no

05-22-2005, 08:32 PM

hm...... i think i agree, if they make it, it can't be free

monthly fees

05-22-2005, 09:10 PM

well, they got new pics and it turns out you have to buy the accessory for $25 but there's no monthly fees...

i'm off to join the dev team so i can get one free

I find it funny that the scroll bars are very similar to Windows XP's theme.

hm........

when i e-mailed them it worked

yeah it looks fake to me , also it's quite pointless because there is no good way to imput data onto it , and you'ld have to figure away to run the program and so on ... so yeah it's pretty much fake . i meen look at the ipod linux project , it's getitng there , but your not running kde or any kind of X server , and pretty much no gui at all , so developing an app that would act like a browser would take far much time than this thing has been out , considering how long the ipod linux project has been going , and think about how long the ipod photo has been out , the time scale for dev . dosent add up either , so yeah it's gotta be fake .

Isn't it interesting how the main administrator of their forums is also named 'Word32'?

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw those images. Someone must have had fun editing those into the screen.

Nice scam!

Just buy this $25 attatchment which will allow you to receive the web signals and the rest is free!

Web signals?

Anyone tried this yet:

1) Take a large sheet of tin foil and wrap it around your head.
2) Stick 2 large antennas to your tin-foil-cranium device and attach Teletubby dolls to each end.
3) Go to your nearest shopping mall and receive 100% free 'Humorous response signals" from people you pass.
