Excellent. This is a nice use of the iPhone/iPod. You might be interested to check what we are doing (www.spinetix.com) concerning multi-screen and other synchronized display. It is not using the iPod, but our own device. However the result is very similar and would be more targeted at professional application.
Have fun with the best toy in the world… the iPhone :-)

Marco responded promptly to let us know that his app is still going through the approval process. We’ll update the post when more information is available.

It seems the iPhone app part of this software is not to be found. I’ve put in an email to Marco about it and will post an update when I hear back.

I don’t see this as a really big deal. It’s just synchronized playback of the same file. There’s no streaming or multi-plexing involved. Is the host even really necessary for this other than putting the files on to the device? It would be nice to see this evolve further to at least multiplexing.

I can think of a couple reasons for running more than 1 video across a group ipod/iphones. If you were in a lecture or some sort of group participation event, making a selection from a bannk of options would give different videos (think of those choose-your-path books). Choice A gives you the correct answer video and Choice B gives you the wrong answer explanation video. This sort of application has tons of real world use. Very cool!

Ahh I see, that makes sense. I was wondering if there would be shown a multi screen iTouch video display. I just assumed the reason they didn’t show it was do to that fact that it might be impossible to accurately sync the devices together due to the 1/2 second lag.

>And to Duck, what would be the point of coding software that streamed separate videos to each iPod? The iPod can already do that on its own just fine.

I was intending for use with the AV out, allowing remote control of video on screens.
I’m investigating other alternatives from MultiScreen for doing displays :)

I would like to see this done with audio. although im sure it wouldnt be too difficult. it would be great for finally creating that silent rave from the walkman commercial. (at least i think it was walkman. the little blue guy?)
