Macworld's MicroOptical Myvu Personal Media Viewer Coverage

  • Review: Myvu Personal Media Viewer The Myvu is a well-designed personal media viewer for the iPod that hits a home run. All that’s missing is protection for the iPod screen. The style—namely, wearing the visor—may take a bit of getting used to, but the Myvu combines form and functionality in an easy-to-use package.
