New next product of Zune HD is release. It sounds like excite for everybody. For not deaf or hearing impaired, it’s unfortunately for the billion-dollar-industry like Microsoft doesn’t offer closed caption (CC) on video player.

Why… You can see that Netflix is using Microsoft’s video player as steam video that everybody wonder why we can’t get to see in CC? It won’t hurt if the business would accept to earn our money to boost 10% out of 30 million deaf customers. It could be that they’re too rich and don’t need our money for extra-being-rich.

Currently, iPod lineup is the ONLY media portable player that ever offers CC. Enjoy it when you can. I have quite amount of deaf actual own iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone, they can even enjoy over hundred of movies from iTunes with CC.

If you’re think about get iPod Classic or Nano instead iPod Touch or iPhone. But you’re not sure about closed caption (CC) support. I’m show the proof that both lately iPod model that does support CC and does appear on the display. Text size is somewhere small but fair to read.

Since Apple, Inc. make announcement by give a sneak peek on Mac OS X 10.5 know as â€œLeopardâ€, there saying that new version on Quicktime under Accessibility that support Closed Caption (CC).

Closed captioning
QuickTime currently supports closed captioning by including a text track alongside audio and video content. But improved QuickTime support will automatically display the CEA-608 closed captioning text standard in analog broadcasts in the U.S.

In short future, it’s possible that with feature like that, will support on TV show that I would want to download Monk, my one of my favorite TV show will show CC on Quicktime under iTunes. Think about it! It’s may have new iPod with CC support! I except to see display increase size much as PSP’s, since that PSP have UMD movie support subtitle which is readable.
