See, I'm at the point where even on an 80 GB I'd have to leave stuff off, and there would certainly be no room for video.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are the new iPods wider, or is that just my brain?
Just your brain -- the screen is much bigger, which is messing with the proportions of the thing.
edit: and it looks like the click wheel is smaller to make room for the screen, which will affect the feel as well as the look. grr.
where would they be played? The video iPod? Your computer? Your DVD player?
Definitely on the iPod and in iTunes; where else will probably depend on having the right cable and/or dock, ports on the target machine, etc. I predict (easy, I know) new expensive white accessories to make all of these things easier and shinier.

I'm playing with iTunes 6, so yeah, it has video. So far it seems to pretty much just be music videos and nothing else. Nothing I'm really interested in yet.

Hey. New board.
I've watched video on my PDA. It's kind of awesome, actually, for plane/train trips. The screen held at lap distance is quite as large as, say, a 20" TV across a room. Not huge, but perfectly good enough.

Hey. New board.
The iTunes/Video interface on the new iMac G5s is what actually makes me lust. Along with the shuffle-like remote. Pretty.

I'm having iTunes release whiplash -- didn't iTunes 5 just come out a few months ago? (Or 5.5, or some other fairly major upgrade?)

Hey. New board.
Yeah. The built-in iSight is pretty cool too, actually.
Still, though, I'm selling my Powermac G5 tomorrow, and will be laptop-only from then on. I've decided.

5 weeks.

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. I don't see this release as really deserving of a full number upgrade.
