In the year 2008, we do a lot of the same things our parents
and grandparents did 50 years ago to pass the time.
Some of us watch TV; some of us like to work out to keep in
shape; while others still like to curl up with a good book. But something has
changed… you can watch almost anything you want when you want and the picture
quality is a zillion times better than it used to be. Ok, maybe not a zillion,
but you can’t front, it’s a lot better than that TV with the dials that your
mother called you in from playing to change the channel when she was sitting
right there.
Exercise is now virtual and books are digital. Take a look at what I’m talking about.
A lot of you got these new shiny HD TV’s, and a lot of you
got these iPods full of video and pics. Why not combine the two? The HomeDock HD from DLO lets you do just
that.
For best picture, connect via HDMI cable and it upscales
(converts standard def to high def) iPod video to 1080i or 720p. With its
optical digital audio output, users are ensured a completely digital iPod
experience. Even if you don’t have an HDTV, all the connections are there for
you to hook it up to old Betsy.

I’m sure you’ve heard the argument that kids don’t go out
and play anymore, all they do is play video games. Nintendo is making it a
little bit easier to justify that new console purchase. It’s not available in
the States yet, but game fans in Japan can get their full body work out on with
the Wii Fit.
You can dance, play sports do yoga, and the list goes
on. Check the video and see for
yourself:
