It seams like every 4 months or so Apple releases another version of there iPod. I mean what is this one going to have in it, another 512mb of disk space making it the only MP3 player on the market to have 1.5 gigs? The biggest problem is that users not like me but maybe you will buy the damn thing. Apple on the other hand is very smart in their marketing techniques. This is a company that will get everyone all hyped up, even the main stream media over a simple little 3.5 index card or email that will says something like join us on such a date, and have a phrase like “10 songs in your pants!” Maybe it’s me, maybe not. If 9/11 wasn’t this week all the news from the blogging community would be about this new announcement (at least 1/2 of it is already). All I can say is congrats to Apple for brain washing people with your marketing ads. It’s working. In fact I may buy a Mac soon too! On the other hand, the releasing of a new iPod every 4-6 months is getting ridicules. Sooner or later people will realize and stop purchasing them.

Unfortunately, knowing Apple, the video iPod will be slick and easy to use, but lack key features like video recording (because Apple wants folks to use the Video/Movie/TV store instead). Let's hope the prices on the movies are more reasonable than Amazon's Unboxing. The video iPod should be able to at least compete with the Archos AV500 in terms of features.
