With the release of the new video-capable iPod and the recent flurry of discussion about it arount the 'net, I felt it was appropriate to bring a little of that excietment here to swrebellion. I know for a fact that my parents will be getting me a video-capable iPod for Christmas, at the latest. I have been holding out on replacing my cheap iPod mini in hopes of a new model being released. I plan to stock it with all the tunes of my ancient 4 GB (yes, you heard right- 4GB) iPod plus more. I hope to find a way to put DVDs onto it through my computer, though that 2.5" screen is gonna be a big headache, but I think it will be worth it for the next long car trip or flight. The only negative thing for me, really, is the lack of a FireWire port, as I have several older acessories (FM transmitter, for example) that ran on the FireWire port. I will just replace them with USB 2.0 things then, which is probably exactly what Apple wants, but is, as I see it, unavoidable. Anyway, just curious about how many of you out there actually own iPods (or will get one soon). < PS: anyone know of a case that fits the video iPod? I couldn't find anything on Apple's site that would fit the slimmer model. Any help is much appreciated. >
