The iSee 360 is a new product that promises to turn any iPod into a personal video recorder and playback device. This looks pretty cool. It has a 3.6″ color LCD screen on the front and your iPod docks into the back of the unit to store your recorded video. It does MPEG2/4 and Windows Media video formats and will cost about $249.00 USD. That price plus the cost of an older iPod puts it right in-line with some of the other hard disk based video player/recorders on the market. If anyone get their hands on one of these drop us a review will ya?

Hey gang. Yes, the MacCast.com site was down today for a few hours. Seems I am getting too popular and the hosting provider suspended my account. They say the sent a warning email, but I never got it. Oh well. Needless to say, we are back up (although, my wallet is a quite a bit lighter). Sorry for the inconvenience.
