So, as everyone (who doesn’t live in a cave) knows.. a few weeks ago Apple introduced a revised iPod, with video playback capabilities.. I hadn’t said anything on it yet, because I was reserving judgement until I had a chance to see one in person. Yesterday, I was able to swing by the Apple store and take a look.

My first thought is that the screen looks big.. comparatively – I realize its only like 2.5 inches.. but because the iPod itself is so thin and narrow.. the screen looks bigger then it is.

The picture is also better then I expected for the screen size.. would I want to watch a full length movie, or even an episode of Lost on it? Nope.. I suppose it wouldn’t be bad for watching some of the short clips everyone gets emailed from time to time..but.. I think it’d be more work to get the clip onto the iPod, then it would be to just watch it on your computer.

I think the ability to hook the iPod up to a TV for video playback is good..I don’t think the demand is there to watch a lot of video on a 2 inch screen.. so.. this iPod will not be at the top of my want list.. of course, if someone were to buy me one, I wouldn’t refuse =0
