Apple iPod Camera Connector [Update x2]

In addition to New iPod Models released today, Apple also announced a new "iPod Camera Connector" accessory.

The optional accessory allows users to connect their digital camera directly to the iPod Photo and to import their photos into the iPod.

Imported photos are viewable on the iPod Photo and can be synced with iPhoto on the Mac (as well as various photo apps on the PC). It will be available in late March for $29.

Recent comments by PortalPlayer's CEO predicted the emergance of more Photo integration with existing media players.

Update: CNet posts more details about the upcoming camera connector. It is described as "a small white plastic device, similar in appearance to a small docking station, that has a cable for connecting to the iPod and a USB port for connecting to a camera. It will work with both the new iPod Photos and with earlier photo player models".

Update #2: AppleInsider has posted a picture of the new addition shown at an Apple Japan press conference.

Brilliant.

This attachment with the lower price will make the iPod photo sell. Finally.

Looks like Apple is learning from their mistakes, to the betterment of Apple and its customers alike.

At last the iPod photo will make sense!
If I ever get a digital camera, I will definitively buy one.

i would love to transfer my digital photos to my 40gb old ipod, I dont want to view them, I just want to store them while Iam away from a PC.

but i assume that this connector will only work with the new ipodphoto, and i will have to get a thirdparty device and not upgrade..

thanks

This is the best news of the day... Might even be enough to persuade me to get one of the new 30gb photos.

There have been a couple of devices made by Belkin that have allowed this for some time. You can find them on the online Apple Store, or in Apple retail stores.

Do you have a Mac or a Windows PC? If you are using Firewire, you should be able to connect the iPod in target disk mode and then copy them onto it using Finder. I believe you get into this mode by holding down forward and reverse while you plug the iPod in -- at least, that's on the pre-clickwheel pods.
