KABC Travel Show: Holiday Gifts (November Show)

I was a guest on the KABC Travel Show to talk about Hi-Tech Travel Gadgets for the Holidays and how on demand television will change the way we are entertained while on the road.

Notes: I give a lukewarm review of the video iPod, mostly because of a lost opportunity to redesign it for a widescreen look. And it's too expensive. But I applauds the effort. The Sony PSP - great looking. downside - proprietary formats. The Picture Porter, by Digital Foci, great for offloading digital photographs from your camera cards. It also comes with an mp3 player and two stereo headphone jacks. Memorex Mega Travel Drive, 4gb thumdrive/flashdrive for those who travel and need a lot of storage for documents, etc.

Here's the mp3.
