Full Version: Video iPod! Annouced By Apple
Now we can all carry around an arsenal of Gary Fong video clips, for a quick pick me up. Who needs coffee when you have Gary Fong!! 
Great find, Alan! Now I don't know whether I should get the Nano or the new iPod with video. hmmmmmmmm. It would be great for flying (all I like to do is sleep and watch movies on a plane). Thanks, man.

Rumor has it that some new crazy PowerMacs/Powerbooks are coming out real soon too. Not just a slight speed increase either....
Stay tuned....

Heh heh heh, ain't it fun to taunt people?
I've been really considering getting an iPod, and this new one seems like the right one to jump on. I just hope it doesn't have the same scratching issues as the Nano.
I've got to see the video playback in person to really help me decide.

Sounds like a portfolio on-the-go. Do I hear a ShowIT iPod version coming out soon?

Portfolio on-the-go is a great use for it... I was a sucker and jumped on the iPod Photo about a year ago when it first came out... It was the first color one so it's a litlte bulky and not nearly as cool as these new ones... I'm a looser and couldn't wait and paid way too much for it, but anyway - I use it all the time.
I just load up a bunch of folders - one of which I named Porfolio - so wherever I go, I can show a potential client my work.. It's genius and most people are always all excited by it.
It's fun.
But if you guys haven't checked it out yet, check out Job's speaking at the Apple Special Event.
(I try to watch all the Keynotes... It's good if you're a geek.)
Have fun with your swift new iPods!

I wonder if you can upload video clips then attach to a TV?
I can't wait to get one of these things!!!! The first thing I'm gonna put on there is BarlowGirls new videos - coming soon!!!
