Question for Apple computer and iPod owners...

[Bifurcator]

I tried a screenshot of a video I shot with my digital camera and it would not do it right. I tried several Windows machines - all with the same result. I gather at the time it was some kind of copy protection. They might have removed it now.

You probably just have 3D acceleration turned on. Most screen-grabbers will miss an OpenGL screen blit.

It's not protection. It's just how the system layers. Mac doesn't seem to have that problem though.

I disagree. I have one with:

• 2-seg TV tuner,
• RF TV tuner,
• A recording Microphone,
• a touch screen,
• a 3MP camera + video,
• installable software,
• Full image 800x450 internet browsing,
• slightly smaller than the iPhone
• a telephone,
• Alarm clock,
• oodles of bundled software!
• MIDI capability,
• Supports 6 or 8 different music file formats,
• GPS tracking - disableable,
• world map location,
• a full QWERTY physical slide-out keyboard,
• blue-tooth,
• wireless 802 something or other LAN,
• a one week battery life,
• 4GB removable storage (optional and expandable),
• 512 MB internal RAM,
• Auto-Sync with 3 different music player systems,
• XviD and DivX movie player,
• Price: $0 (but you have to subscribe to a service for at least one year at $10.00/mo. to get it so I guess it's $120.00 in reality. If you don't renew the subscription you lose the 2-seg TV, the GPS, the world map the internet and the telephone but everything else works.)

But iPods are good too.
