iRecord: Wait, I thought you recorded it... October 21, 2006

This news is almost extremely exciting. Streaming Networks just released its new iRecord, a device that allows video recording direct to an iPod, PSP, or any USB 2.0 device.
The $199 iRecord hooks to any analog source (DVR, cable/sat box...and they claim DVD...) via S-Video or RCA. You connect your PMP into the USB port and the H.264 recording starts whenever you anticipate the nip slip, simply by hitting the record button. But the one-touch recording is both the best and worst feature of the iRecord. Sure, the idea sounds convenient, but there is no way to automatically schedule recordings like some Archos products already have built-in. And because of the iRecord's need to record real-time, whatever iRecord, iAlreadySeen.
