The Future of the iPod

sebFlyte writes "Those of you waiting for a video iPod, an iPod with a radio in, an iPod with Bluetooth in...or in fact an iPod that does anything except play music and have a pretty-but-basic interface, you're likely to be disappointed. According to silicon.com, Steve Jobs and the Apple crew insist that the iPod will remain simple for the time being." From the article: "Whether people want to buy a device just to watch video is not clear - so far the answer's been no. Devices that do video... have not been successful yet. No-one's figured out the right formula."

    Steve Jobs screamed nano!

    I know it's lame but it's the best I can do for such a short ammount of sleep!

    Yep - you can already download (low res) videos off the iTunes Music Store - that's what the video button is for. These clips don't (yet) sync to your iPod.
