its the same as the current ipod, just with video playback and slimmer design (plus a few other nifty features)

have been saving up for an ipod for a long time and now that the 60 gb video ipod is out, im sure as hell going to get it . Ill post pics when i do get it in the mail.

ps. what do you guys think of the new move by apple?

edit: seems like wj merged my thread with his

I don't think there is much point in having a video iPod, the photo iPod was stupid enough... So you're going to be walking along watching videos on your iPod now... They should of stuck with upgrading space for Music, rather than adding new features to the iPods...

If they bought at a 60Gb normal iPod, then that would suffice...

I can see people walking along watching a video and smacking into lamposts.



And I thought Bananas were the only comedic fruit.

Why complain about adding video playback features. It costs no extra, They upgraded the space on the base model, and didnt increase the price. Hmm.... Seems like a good thing to do.

mhmm, im wondering how long the vids take to download, got no money on me, anyone want to give us some specs? Plus what format are they using for the vids

Bah, all these new features will only help to reduce the battery life more.
That said, I wouldn't mind having one

My iCock is bigger than yours.

Completely useless idea imo. Sure it may not cost anything extra, but it's still lame.
Now that there are some specs, I can redo this post.

In doing the math, you can fit EIGHTY-SEVEN full-length feature films in 60gb (700mb each). WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Even if you took 20gb off for music storage, that's still 58 700MB films.
150 hours of video yet I can only play 3 hours without plugging it back in? Nice. Charging your iPod 50 times to go through all your videos isn't exactly fun.

Another thing: if you were to fill that thing with the 60gb of music, you'd basically lose the functionality of the screen. Who wants to spend 30 minutes scrolling through their iPod trying to find a song.

More math! 60GB = 61440MB. If you figure 1MB/min for an mp3, that's 61440 minutes of music. 1024 hours. 42 2/3 days. Over 6 weeks. YOU DO NOT NEED 6 WEEKS OF MUSIC ON YOUR IPOD.
15000 songs? Figure an average of 3mins/song comes out to 45000mins. 750 hours. 31.25 days. About 4.5 weeks of music. An iPod isn't meant to be used as a portable hard drive, so why so much space?!

i mean the videos available online for download, but thanks for these specs too, was looking for them.

Jobs said depending on your connection 10 to 30 minutes (also depends on the size of the video) as soon as I have my debit card working again (damn wells fargo) I'll by buying an episode or two of LOST and I'll let you know. I'm really intrested to see the quality on my PC screen as opposed to the iPod. Thats where I'll really be using this is for my PC at home when I miss LOST.

i'll be taking this as an oppertunity to buy a cheaper ipod photo/color when someone sells to upgrade. i dont give a rats ass about photos or video, i just like the album art displaying of the ipod photo/color.

Well it seems like I got burned. I held off from buying the ipod photo because of the reported sound distortion issues. So I decided to buy a nano not thinking that these new ipods would come out so soon
Time to get rid of the nano to raise funds for the new ipod.

apple allows for debit cards , didnt know that.

Then i do have the means to pay for the vids. Can you explain to me how to use my debit for buying stuff.

Just to add, a new version of iTunes has been released (version 6) to coincide with the release of the ipod video. The new version allows downloads of music videos and soon tv shows.

To be honest, who would want to watch 150 hours worth of video on an iPod? Not to mention the battery life wont last but long enough to barely finish one movie

And did the iPod really need a color screen? It just lowers the battery life (Its not like anybody really plans on carrying photos an a media player)

Another day another ipod tbh my ipod shuffle will do me

if i was going to get something for tv i would just get a portable television!

I will say this much, I just downloaded last week's episode of lost and it was pretty good quality, It is 320x240, It's some apple format, but it did look fine (near TV Quality) at full screen on my iBook (1024x768)
