iLoad therefore I am

A new iPod accessory has been developed that does away with the need for a PC and iTunes.

The iLoad and iLoad-v allow users to transfer music directly from CD to their iPods and should be available in early spring this year.

California-based firm, Wingspan, came up with the concept, which is designed to simplify the way in which content is loaded onto an iPod.

Each album should take around eight minutes to transfer, along with track and artist information thanks to an internal database of over 1.8 million songs.

As well as transferring music from CD the iLoad can also load viewing content directly onto an iPod video by connecting to a satellite or cable box.

The iLoad is the brainchild of a father and daughter team and will be available in iPod white or a choice of other finishes, including tiger skin, jet black and pink polka dot.
