i think we can convert the files type to be able use watch it in ipod video. i think the codex type is h.xxx(cant remember). it is like a sibling of divx and xvid... so u have to convert the codex first... im now considering whether to buy nanos of videos, but im more to nanos now.... i dont think i would be much fun to watch movies on ipod, plus of its wider built. 'wide' is not a very interesting adjective for apple product, rite?

Ok, this thing may be compact but come on... Video on that?... I suppose it might be good for concealing and portability but it costs so much and video on that? I might consider it if I was still in high school. I would rather go all the way and get a cheap notebook these days. No one minds a notebook in a college classroom.

Hi friends,

The new video capability on the Ipod is a nice feature. I was planning on an Ipod for a while and waited since the rumors of video were going around. Now I m happy that I waited.
I have got a video Ipod and believe me that though it is not anything like watching on a big screen, it is quite nice to have that capability on the move. It is still a great music player with video feature added.

The price of the earlier 20 GB ipod was the same as the current 20 GB video version.. so people are getting 10 GB extra storage and video capabilty at the same price.(of course they have excluded power adapter from the accessories : $30).. but still good enough if you ask me...

Also there is no compulsion to use the feature just coz its there....
btw.. the length and width are same as the previous ipod.. the width looks more just coz the screen is wider and the space around the screen is less. The smaller scroll wheel also makes it look wider...

The sound quality on the ipod is gr8 as in the previous versions, and with video I am not complaining...

Cheers,
Himanshu

I remember when I was buying an iPod for my girlfriend. The salesperson tried selling me the iPod that stored photos and I asked did it take photos too? He replied, no... so iPod can keep pulling out these minimal things, till eventually it runs out of ideas and sales. Not a bad plan, but quite a pathetic thing to be doing.

I remember buying a griller, and a month later, they made it so it came apart and could be put in a dishwasher, things like this annoy me, when they could have made it first that way, since the idea had been around for years but a lot of companies do this, just to soak up more money.


Cheers,
