I may be alone on this one, but I like to be able to play my videos with the screen off. If I’m at work and want to listen to a video on my iPod, normally you’d have to have the screen on, wasting battery. Sure I could drop the screen brightness (and I do), but I found a way to turn the screen off and keep the video audio playing. You don’t need to hack anything, just your regular, unhacked iPod Touch will do.
If this isn’t new and has been mentioned somewhere before, please tell me, but I didn’t find this anywhere.
Note: Sorry about the quality, was captured with an N95 is not the best lighting. Get’s the point across though.
