A video gamble by Apple is inevitable.
While I think a video iPod would be neat, I think the comments about it
being better as a "video source" rather than an actual player (a la the
PSP) have some merit -- unless iPods get a lot bigger. <g>
The article notes, "devices from Creative Technology Ltd., Samsung
Electronics Co. and others that have hard disk drives onto which users can
transfer video files from their PCs" haven't caught on. The difference,
for better or worse, is Apple's emphasis on sex appeal, early adopters, and
the like. With _all_ iPods featuring color screens now (when before you
had to pay a premium for an iPod Photo), it won't be a major jump for
current users to make.
Heck. Hasn't it been proven that even _current_ color iPod models can do
video, albeit with hacks? I bet Apple just needs to flip a switch
somewhere, and we'd be in business.
Of course, video in iTunes on the PC end is nothing new. You can get music
videos with music purchases now!
