Well after some thinking I've decided to do a follow-up on my previous article, which basically slammed the iPod Photo for not having more features. I want to clear some things up.

In a sense, the iPod Photo replaces the common shoebox of picture slides. If you connect the iPod to a projector, it's almost the same as a slide viewer. In that kind of sense, it's cool. If you meet your long lost sister on a bus and show her photos, that's cool.

What isn't cool is that you have to connect the iPod to your computer first. If there was a cheaper solution to the Belkin Media Reader, the iPod Photo would be great. Unfortunately, there isn't.

The iPod Photo still has potential. With a cheaper media reader (the iPod Photo is expensive as it is), and/or an attachable camera, the iPod Photo will be great. It's just not being used to it's fullest right now.
