ITouch application: disable video, keep audio saving battery life

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for an application that allows users to play video content while disabling the video display, thereby conserving battery life on the first-generation Apple iTouch 16 GB. The user expresses frustration over the lack of such an application in the iTunes store, despite the availability of over one million apps. A work colleague has downloaded the SDK to develop this application, with plans to sell it on iTunes, and the original poster has negotiated a royalty agreement for this endeavor.

I have a first generation Apple iTouch 16 GB, and frequently download podcasts to watch and listen to. With over 1 million applications written, I have searched in vain to locate an application that will allow you to launch a video, and instead of displaying video and audio to suppress the video, allowing you to listen to the audio while bicycling/exercising, etc... saving battery life.

Has such an application been written, and if so what is it's name so I can purchase/download from iTunes ?

Thanks in advance...

I have a work buddy, who has just downloaded the SDK to develop iPod applications.

He is going to attempt to research and write the application I requested in the above post.

I told him if he sells it to iTunes I get a one time royalty fee. lol

I will report back if he succeeds in creating it.
