Jax - an iPod plug-in that delivers music management and internet content
This looks potentially interesting for those of us yet to own an iPhone:
Jax, a customizable iPod plug-in that adds music management features and delivers Internet content to iPod nanos, minis, and full-size iPods. Jax features configurable visualizers and the ability to manage lyrics and search libraries by specific phrases and words. It also manages album art and lets users research artists. Jax can also download information from the Internet, such as point-to-point directions, current weather forecasts, stock quotes, movie listings and local gas prices. Likewise, it can load news feeds, e-mails and document, as well as video from YouTube, Google Videos, or QuickTime movies.
Looking a little more closely at the product website however, I wonder whether this will amount to anything more than a ragbag assortment of different freeware functionality - the visualizer and music map recommendation engine are available elsewhere. The proliferation of windows in the screenshot above doesn’t look exactly promising. No definite availability date on the website.
