The guidebook gurus at Rough Guides have launched a series of free “PodScrolls.” Not to be confused with audio podcasts, PodScrolls are sequences of text pages and images that you can navigate using the clickwheel on your iPod. The first 10 are eating and drinking guides for cities in Europe and the US, based on Rough Guides’ City Directions series. The scroll for New York that I previewed was pretty information-packed, with separate multi-page sections covering restaurants and bars in most Manhattan neighborhoods, and sizable listings for the Outer Boroughs. The only drawback to these handy little guides is that they’re only usable on later-generation color-screen iPods (damn technical obsolescence). (via InFlightHQ)
