This is getting to be a bit much.  Wait a year or so and they'll incorporate video.  
 
 I like my 10G iPod as it is now.

 Its vaporware.
 
 Still if you want to do that kind of stuff you would be better with a portable DVD player right now.
 
 The legal issues of setting up TiVo to go do not seem well enough resolved for the major players to be getting involved. You cannot legally rip movies the way you can CDs......

 sure, but there is no legal content for it.
 
 And no "ultra intuitive interface".

There are plenty of other companies readying similar devices, too.
 
 Still its a content issue.
 
 Or to put it another way, the new ipod with colour screen isnt exactly far away from playing movies, is it?

[thirsty moore]

True enough.  However I was commenting on Apple's innovation curve.  They improve on their products at what I would consider a rapid rate.  Sometimes it's improvements that I don't necessarily consider all that useful.  I'm happy with my iPod as a music player.  It serves its purpose.

 I was wondering the same..... I cant think of a real need to carry around my photos on my ipod. Carrying a PP presentation might be more handy though.....

Apple's revenue stream is pretty much driven by the iPod these days.  They gotta keep pumping out new stuff for the iPod or they will be back to the days when they were always on the verge of bankruptcy because only 213 people actually use their computers.

 really, just because movies are currently available doesn't mean that there isn't other legal content.

That is not true. They were looking at slightly increasing their market share when I last read about such things, only a few days ago.
 
 The ipod does serve as a halo for the brand.

That content is pretty poor. If I had a choice of that or TV or TiVo to go, or a DVD....... well you get the idea.
 
 I have not seen the interface, go and look back at the 2 links you posted and play Where's Waldo?
