With the release of iTunes 4.8 it now supports video. Could this mean a ipod video in the near or slightly distant future?

Nope. Jobs has said they will not do an iPod video because nobody wants to watch video on a 2.5" screen...He says the future is photos not video

True no one will watch LOTR on a 2.5" screen but im sure millions of people will load naughty videos on.

Also there is no added video support in iTunes 4.8 so I am not sure what you are talking about

Download a quicktime video drag it into itunes click on it. It will play in the spot where the album art goes it can also be adjusted via preferences to play in a new window. There is also a new full screen button that will take you video full screen.

Ah didn't see that.

Tried it out and it crashed both times. I don't see any real use for this unless apple is going to start selling music videos from the iTMS

I see the button, but it won't let me play the Quicktime video. I drag it into it, it does nothing. I right click and open with it, it does nothing.... I think Apple has a bit of R&D do do yet before it's perfect...

iTunes has been able to show movie trailers and select music videos for some time now.

4.8 adds support for local QuickTime movies.

QuickTime+iTunes is the only media player that uses seperate applications for its video player and jukebox. (Windows Media Player and RealPlayer on Windows both include video and jukebox components in a single application.) Perhaps Apple is moving in that direction.

Portable video / mp3 players are kinda at a odd situation. Watching video on the go would be cool, but the iPod screen is too small, and the ones that do it already are way to big and bulky.

I knew it was able to show you the trailers and videos I just thought maybe apple would sell the music videos.

I actually like QuickTime and iTunes separate...For some reason it feels right that way
