An instance or implementation of the Wizard's Manual installed in an iPod. Such devices, when running in Manual mode, routinely 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 WizPod during the crisis meeting in WAW, causing Dairine to go into a state of serious hardware envy. (Darryl's model is probably in the style of one of the so-called 4G or fourth-generation iPods, since the first wizardly implementations appeared around then.)
Newer implementations have appeared, but none with quite the ballyhoo of the new 6G WizPod, or WizPod Touch, which appears to the left. This model introduced the new touch interface as well as numerous new software features.
The implementation of the WizPhone has been delayed briefly while the issue of international service providers for the phone component is sorted out.
An ad for the WizPod, detailing some of its more attractive features, can be seen here. An ad for the WizPod Touch can be seen here. (WAW, AWOM, et al.)
