    Now they need to make a video camera iPod, so I can film all the video iPod owners running into light poles while trying to watch this thing on their morning jog.

    ETA of video iPod: September.

    ETA of conspiracy theory explaining why the video iPod is the real reason that Apple switched to Intel: Any second now.

    Oddly enough, I have absolutely no interest in wathcing pr0n on a 1 - 1/2 inch screen.
