I finally figured out how to have my iPAQ automatically go check my email for me (I'm too lazy to do it myself). Only trouble is every 15 minutes (the time I have it set to check) I hear this musical number coming from my pocket. Wonder how long I can do that before I go nuts...
I tested out some software that allows you to shrink down your dvd's into the right size and format for windows media on pocket pc's. Did a couple different Band of Brothers ones (get about 5 minutes of test video). The quality is pretty decent. I think I'll buy one of them.
Only thing I'm still trying to work out is how to convert iTunes downloaded video (found a Dane Cook video from Comedy Central, plus they have the Colbert Report and John Stewart as well as Lost and a few other tv shows) into a wmv file. I dug around for a few hours during our baseball draft last night and couldn't find anything that could convert those files. I guess Apple doesn't want me playing those on anything but an iPod. Anyone have any ideas?
Speaking of the draft. Started at 8pm, done at midnight. My team's not too horrible (italicized guys were my keepers):
C: Joe Mauer, Josh Willingham
1B: Albert Puhols, Prince Fielder
2B: Chase Utley, Mark Ellis
SS: Felipe Lopez, Nomar Garciaparra
3B: Hank Blalock, Mike Lowell
OF: Carlos Lee, Grady Sizemore, Barry Bonds, Brady Clark, Nick Swisher, Luis Gonzalez
SP: John Smoltz, John Lackey, Doug Davis, Noah Lowry, Eric Bedard, Jeff Suppan, Chris Young, Derek Lowe.
RP: Chad Cordero, Bob Wickman, Danys Baez

They are .m4v copy protected files (mpeg4). I found tons of tools to convert from anything else TO an ipod format but not the other way. Only thing I can think to defeat it is the same way I defeat their copy protection for music. Burn to disk and re-rip. I could get a whole bunch of them and create a dvd on the mac and then re-rip the dvd with the other tools I've been trying out.
Nope, haven't tried JetAudio. Everything I've tried thus far that says it's a general purpose conversion tool chokes on the ipod videos.
Hold the phone, when did you get a psp? I thought you were an xbox guy?
Now see, you have to carry 2 devices with you now when you travel. Blackberry for email and internet and psp for gaming and movies. I just have one.
