This is a big bargain. For what I would have paid for my 4th Generation ipod if I hadn't picked it up in the U.S I can now have a 30 gig player, with larger screen, video playback, photo playback and slightly longer music playback.

Well yes please, infact I ordered as soon as they appeared on the apple site. This is a 'hybrid' pod and a version with a fuller larger screen should appear next year (I'd presume Marchish) along with the launch of a full movie download store. For now we're going to see mainly TV episodes and and short films.

Interesting to see the Itunes store is currently updating bit by bit adding all the video content. I'll be interested to see how easy it will be for me to move across my legally purchased DVDs of Lost rather than pay £1.89 an episode (which is reasonable value, but £1.89 for a fricken music video? commmmonnn!).

Yes I did go for the black version. This device is more practical than carrying your PSP around with you and will prove to be the bigger hit thanks to the easy to download video content. I only hope someone introduces a program to convert content to ipod friendly 320x280 MPEG 4 formats. Also mentioned was the fact that movie trailers should be downloadable but this doesn't seem to have appeared straight away.

Atleast now we know why they stopped updating the free music video section mid year.
