Video iPod Coming Soon?
According to AppleInsider, Apple is prepared to launch a video-capable version of the iPod in the coming weeks, possibly as soon as the scheduled October 12th media event.
The new iPod is expected to be a similar form factor as the present 60 GB iPod, although several millimeters thinner. It is expected to have a smaller click-wheel as found on the iPod nano, making way for a larger high-resolution color display than the current full-size iPod offering.
A major iTunes update is expected with the release as well, containing a significant number of downloadable music videos and other short movie content.

*sigh*
What else could a movie curtain imply?
Unfortunately, I don't expect any compelling content to be available. HD is too large. Anything else is no good for output, imho.
It would be nice on a long plane ride though. Should be fun to see how small they can make it while maximizing screen size.

iTunes is to music and CDs as ______ is to videos and DVDs.
Apple needs to fill in the blank. :D

I'll buy one. I cracked my iPod's screen today, I'm going to replace it. But I really don't want to buy another one until Apple comes out with a video iPod.

Why would you want HD on a 3" screen anyway? (Assuming the screen is indeed that big)
(Edit: I realized you were probably talking about using the iPod as a video source for a TV?? Yeah, in that case the iPod is too small. Maybe there will be a bump up to 80GB.)
The video clips can be pretty low resolution and still look good on a small LCD.
The compelling content is probably going to be [pirated] downloaded episodes of TV shows. I'd love to pack a few seasons of Family Guy with me before getting on the train.

If you see red curtains it's a sure sign that you will soon encounter a dwarf who speaks backwards.

Sounds interesting, but the screen is still small for good video watching in my opinion.
Maybe they will offer a new format, something alone the lines of the movies available for the play station portable for example.
Thiking about the PSP, the new iPods need to offer some advantage over it.
