Who wants to watch anything on that little screen?! But as some of the other posters have mentioned, Apples video sales have been pretty great. Definetly brand loyalty there.

I'll watch the occasional YouTube video on my iPhone, but still don't watch movies, music videos, or tv shows on it. I would probably only get into that if I had a commute to work on public transportation. Many people do watch videos on their video iPods and iPhones though and with the addition of iTunes movie rentals, video usage will continue to grow.

I can't believe how far off the original post is! I came across this post while searching for some info on iPod Video. It's funny how what might have seemed a stupid idea a few years ago has had such an impact on media. Glad that this post was still up after all these years! Wow!

From what I've read, video on the iPod has been pretty successful. I think there's just a loyal base of Apple users who will buy into whatever service Apple offers. Look at iTunes muscic - $.99 for every DRM protected track when there are several options for all you can download services? Yet, iTunes has been an unbelievable success for Apple.

For one thing the quality on a big screen isn't that bad especially if you encode it right. I download tons of movies and tv shows onto my computer (not thru itunes) and it's easy to convert them to work on the ipod. When converted down, the ipod can hold entire seasons of TV shows and quite a few movies can then be brought to someone's house and watch on their TV with the right cable. Also, the 2.5 inch screen isn't that bad especially if you're just looking to kill some time and watch a couple TV shows. There’s a lot you can do with it.
