'The money of course is when you buy a device to store/facilitate all this content. A video iPod is about as likely to occur when you start seeing 300 disc DVD changers; then Apple will produce the digital equivalent, iPod2, which can store 300 DVDs in a convenient footprint and equivalent quality.'
I own a 300 disc dvd changer. It sucks: no useful UI = where the he** is the dvd I want to watch?
It now sits there with a single dvd in it most of the time. Its not, after all, like I just start it playing while I walk the dog, drive to the store, etc...
I humbly submit that the opportunity for the video IPod is not equivalent to the opportunity for the music ipod. Video does not = music. The value proposition will differ greatly and we may not be in a position to understand what it will be yet
