Video iPod?
Appleinsider claims that upcoming 4th generation iPods may have some interesting new video capabilities.
While not quite the "video iPod" that many have speculated, the rumored iPod will reportedly be able to show video clips on televisions via an advanced Dock which would provide for video-out.
Meanwhile MacPlus's iTunes Europe article from yesterday also referenced upcoming video capabilities in the iPod, but had not been otherwise confirmed.

Hmmm... I anticipate that the video part of the iPod will be targeted at music videos (but will be able to do other stuff as well, of course), which will then be available for download via the iTunes music store. Seems to be the next step. According to Steve J. people don't want to download full-length films, but downloading just one music video wouldn't be so bad.
That's my take on this.

The article says that the iPod would operate as a firewire disk when the dock's video out connector was used. So you are just playing back any movies that happen to be stored on the iPod disk, not using the iPod's own interface (buttons and display).
This feature would certainly increase the demand for high-capacity iPods!

A TV out is a much better idea than playing videos on that small screen. Now if only we could put WiFi in the iPod. Anyway, surely this will start more Apple Set-top box rumors; the link here, I think, is obvious.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you have a zillion movies and small clips on your iPod, how will you choose which video to watch if you can't use the iPod to select a movie file?

Im sure when you plug the iPod into a TV it will have a simple interface that will be shown on the TV screen that you can conrol with the iPod buttons :)

This would certainly fit in with the iTunes movie icon found in the iTunes package.
