Quite awhile back we brought you information on a product called the iRecord. It was a device that brought functional, albeit a bit limited, recording functions to your iPod, in effect making your iPod a somewhat portable PVR.Well now a company from Korea called iCube is showing off their newest toy: the iRec. The idea behind the iRec pretty much the same as the iRecord (as one can guess with the similarities in names).
The iCube can record video straight onto your iPod at up to 640 x 480 through either a composite or S-Video connection. From there you can synch it up with your iTunes collection the next time you plug it into your PC.
The device also has a timer button on it, but apparently that is only used to schedule the end of a recording. Although it is far from a replacement for a full fledged PVR, if you are looking for something like this you now have at least two options.
The iRec retails for approximately $180 while the iRecord goes for about $200.
1. How long before they get iSued by Apple legal for that name?
