Cameras,
iPods need to talk to each other

Your portable music player and digital camera are about to get a lot
more friendly with each other.
There are already plenty of MP3 players on the market, including Apple
Computer's iPod Photo, that can show digital photos while playing music. But
soon, we are likely to see music devices that can download and display pictures
directly, without using a computer as a go-between.
That's what Gary Johnson, the CEO of PortalPlayer, says. His company makes the
chip for the iPod and several other hard drive-based music players. Johnson was
careful not to say whether it will be Apple's player that does this, though. An
Apple representative declined to comment.
Johnson said PortalPlayer is also working to make it possible to connect music
players to printers.
"It's no good to have a photo if you can't print it," Johnson said in an
interview earlier this month.
