I guess that's a matter of opinion. I can't watch 15 min. of hardly
anything. I always prefer shorter bits to longer ones.
interesting, since apps like fireANT's main benefit is downloading management which is most valuable if the video is larger (download overnight or while doing other things).
if you are a fan of smaller chunks, then you could prob be happy watching videos on the web, no?
if your point is about attention span... ok. but it seems that adam made the point that this content will continue to be grabbed by a trusted audience who would love nothing more than content to fill their commute.
short, long... whatever. its not even worth debating since the wide audience consists of many different preferences. why ask why and all that.

But I don't know what's included in the 15 minutes and can't choose
whether or not I want to download it or view it in that order.... I am
a fan of smaller chunks.

That seems like an iPod issue. I don't have one, but I'm surprised it
doesn't skip to the next video track in a playlist?

That would be cool if this feature were supported on the iPod.

You should at least provide better text descriptions on the site and
in the feed. This will make it easier to trust that you are really
providing 15 min. of good stuff. Right now, I have no idea what stuff
is there until after I've viewed. Text descriptions are too often
overlooked by videobloggers. They are really helpful to the viewer
deciding if they want to download and also to search engines to help
make your content more findable.
> Plus 15 minutes is not that much for most commuters, who are a good portion of iPod video watchers. If you're watching the PAN in the morning on your way to work, you can stop it halfway through when you get to the office, then when you take lunch or go home at night, restart it right where you left off.
I guess that's a matter of opinion. I can't watch 15 min. of hardly
