WizPod

An instance or implementation of the Wizard's Manual installed in an iPod. Such devices, when running in Manual mode, often display the Apple Without a Bite. Since each WizPod contains an inbuilt "stand-alone" temporospatial claudication, they are able to unfold to many times their apparent external size to display data, and are especially useful for working with spell diagrams which are better rendered in 3D format.

Darryl McAllister turns up on the Moon with a new WizPod during the crisis meeting in WAW, causing Dairine to go into a state of serious hardware envy. This WizPod is probably one of the "4G" or fourth-generation WizPods, as the first wizardly implentations started appearing around then.

(Interested parties should note that the implementation of the WizPhone now seems to be proceeding much more smoothly since the issue of international service providers for the phone component has at last been sorted out.)

An early ad for the WizPod, detailing some of the more attractive features of the first models, can be seen here. An ad for the more recent WizPod Touch implementation can be seen here (or click here for the larger .PDF version).
