October 1st 2007

Our next meeting will be held on October 10, 2007 at the Hershey Public Library starting at 6:30 PM. Topics will include:

iPod touch vs. iPhone Shootout
Chuck has an iPhone. Joel just got an iPod touch. The two will square off for a feature and video quality shootout to let you see the best of both devices and decide which is for you. And if you’ve just purchased any of Apple’s new iPod models, bring them along to see how they stand up against the heavy hitters.

What to Watch: Feeding Your iPod and iPhone
No matter which video-capable iPod you have, you need to feed it. Sure, you can buy plenty of content off the iTunes Store, but what about all those DVDs you have at home? How about web video? We’ll give you some tips with with demos of VisualHub, Handbrake, QuickTime Pro and, for the TiVo owners in the crowd, TiVo Decode Manager.

What to Listen To: Favorite Podcasts
If you’re not checking podcasts for your iPod, or even just on your Mac, you’re missing out on a world of outstanding content, both audio and video. No matter what your interest is, there is probably at least one podcast about it. We’ll tell you about some of the ones we subscribe to and invite you to bring in your favorites to share and add to the list.

As always, we’ll have our always-interesting Question and Answer Session, the traditional HAC raffle and our meeting-after-the-meeting at Fudruckers.
