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.

Agreed, could be useful in a plane, when you traveling.

Btw its on their site now : http://www.apple.com

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?!

Because we all know how fun watching a movie on a 2x2 [it's actually 1.767767x1.767767] screen (or whatever small amount it is) is.

Exactly. Nevermind.

Go fork out the disgusting amount of money it takes to buy one of these things if you wish but it's all a waste IMO.

it has a longer lasting battery life than its predecessors
