Not a CD burner. It's a MP3 player.

The round thing spinning around the iBook then the voiceover says "..burn a CD on it.." is a Sony CD PLAYER (CD Walkman is what it's called, I think).

thanks to all of you who replied, that is one cool piece of hardware, although i don't know what u'd use that for...can it also read computer CD's or just music CD's?

um ... computer cd's, like ... data cds? what would you need it to do that for? it's a portable cd player.

why would u want to hook up a portable CD player to your ibook, all ibook configurations have a CD drive included

[Ambria]

ok, am I really missing something here? The commercial shows all the hardware you can use with your ibook ... the portable cd player (possibly reads mp3 cds?) shows when the announcer says you can burn music on your ibook. I believe it is refering to the fact that you can burn music cds using the cdrw drive, then play them on cd players or portable cd/mp3 players.

this really isn't that difficult :/

Brazil has killer cement skateparks. The Jesus statue is atop a mountain overlooking S�o Paulo. Those 3 guys are pro skaters: Eric Koston, Bob Burnquist (from Brazil) and Rick McCrank...

The Cristo Redentor overlooks Rio de Janeiro, not S�o Paulo.

It's not a Rio Volt. It is the Sony 15th Anniversary Discman. It's just a discman. I assume most of you have heard of a Discman, right? It plays only audio CDs. The announcer is referring to the fact that iBooks with CD-R drives can burn CDs, which you can then (get this!) play in a portable CD player. (Though why you would need one of those when you apparently already have a perfectly good Rio 800, I don't know.)

I concur, I have a Rio Volt. That's not it.
