Video iPod possibility
Video iPods probably won't be about watching movies on the move, but rather watching them in the living room, according to a BusinessWeek columnist: Laptop computers and portable DVD players already play movies on the go, but the into a video-storage platform that connects to television sets. An AV connection already exists on the iPod docking station, however it currently only displays stills and slide shows with custom soundtracks. A few changes to the inside of the iPod would allow a video connection, according to the report. A video download service may see opposition from Hollywood executives concerned with piracy as well. According to the report; however, the columnists believes that Apple may be "the only company that can do it right."
