Video iPod—Not Just for TV Shows

I don't have a video iPod and haven't personally bought into the idea of watching TV shows on a 2.5" screen. It's not a bad idea and it's clearly what some people want. What excites me, however, about the video iPod is what other uses may come from it. Consider this:

Apple (or someone) builds a free subscription service that downloads overnight to your video iPod movie trailers and showtimes for the theatre or theatres nearest your zip code. Want to watch a movie but don't know what's playing or the showtimes? No problem, just fire up your iPod and watch the trailers and get the showtimes. Credit to Erik J. Barzeski for this idea.

Local television stations realize they can get more people to watch their newscasts by offering them as a video podcast (vodcast...what are we calling these now?). While I personally detest local news, I know a lot of people that would want to download these newscasts.  Again, it can be based via zipcode, and stations could just set up a service that downloads overnight the 11pm news for viewers to watch during the morning commute. They might also just simply offer an audio-only podcast of the newscast for those people driving to work.

You're traveling to another country as a tourist but are having trouble trying to decide which sights you want to see. You find an Internet cafe and plug your video iPod into a terminal and are able to download tourist videos, walk-along narratives, and driving or hiking directions. Alternatively, you might load up your iPod with planned destination information before you leave. Zoom and Go.com are planning to offer some of this.

It's trivializing the video iPod to view it only as a way to view TV shows. I'm convinced that its versatility will offer interesting business opportunities for many companies. What other possible uses can you think of for the video iPod (and don't say porn, that's so overrated)?
