Eff! My nano's looking somewhat less desireable now.

I want word on the usual pet peevs though, gapless or anything exciting like that?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/
1) No Widescreen
2) Low Resolution (QVGA) on the downloadable music videos/tv shows
3) A limit on the resolution of the videos you're importing - what kind of limit is 480x480??]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/

You can put h264 encoded videos in an avi wrapper.

You mean like the PSP?

The sad part about the PSP is the lack of a hard drive (or flash drive). Otherwise, it would compete and excel on all levels. And it's cheaper.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Now, how about ipod video playback through my Alpine IVA-d310 in-dash monitor. The frontrow dock is universal across the ipod line... even with video... but will the Alpine KCA-420i adapter allow the audio and ID3 tags as well as the video now to my monitor... or is it going to require a d310 firmware update? :( sigh... probably. This must be solved... with auto-syncing video podcasts and tv show downloads, this will solve the problem of never having enough regular content for your rear seat passengers... Kids get bored of the same old 6 dvd's that you've been carrying around in your car. How easy this integration would make things.

Who do you think will partner up to fight Apple on this one... Sony and MTV... ooh, how about Luxpro and TiVo. Where you at LifeDrive? You should be all over this too. What? Palm won't let you out to play until Cobalt is unleashed in fall of two thousand and never...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/
I haven't found anything else like that. Whack if you ask me. Typo maybe?

there's some discussion about it on dapreview, but there's no conclusion as far as the recording goes. Hopefully it's there. Hopefully they suprise us with gapless or something exciting like that too!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but there are many, many other options out there that are arguably superior (at least hardware-wise) to the new iPods. For example:
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product_Id=4054350&JRSource=google.datafeed.CLN+ZENV30GBBK

Apple seems to be (very slowly) becoming a cautious company with the iPod. The Nano was a great idea (maybe not revolutionary, but definitely the best flash player on the market) but the Shuffle, Photo and now the Video don't exactly seem to explode the market like the original iPod did. They're more like incremental improvements. This would be fine except lots of other larger companies with serious R+D budgets (notably Sony and Samsung) are burning the midnight oil to catch up. Also, Apple's proprietary software and codec standards are eventually going to be a real problem (just like they were for the Mac).

Apple still makes superior products, but IMO there's no way their market share is going to hold up. Releasing excellent but rout products like this one isn't going to help matters.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/
And does anyone have any idea if we'll be able to put our own video on this? Even with some kind of 3rd party workaround. If that's the case, then I'm sold. :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/

That means no current generation iTrips will work and I'll be SOL for a month or so if I want to use my iPod in my car. That also means spending even MORE money on a new iTrip.

The new headphone jack location is stupid. If Apple had any sense they'd put a 4th gen style jack/power plug in the bottom and standard usb2.0/firewire ports in the top.

Looks like a 4G 20GB iPod Color will be the last iPod product I buy. This is hardly an improvement.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/the-ipod-with-video/

Where I am, there are stores that will take goods back once used/open when not faulty (and I buy from them reguarly for this reason JUST IN CASE) - but you guys seem to return things to shops for any reason what so ever.

Do they take things back no questions asked? What about if there are marks on the products? If headphones have been used? What happens to them afterwards? Have you ever bought a new product that someone else has returned the day before becuase it doesnt match their toilet seat cover?
