I'm wondering,
do you use the video feature on your iPod a lot ? When I had mine, I didn't. I had movies on it, but the amount of battery it took up and the breaks in my trip made me not really use it. I more focused on the music feature actually, long playlists... Then, when I got home I had a desktop and a lot of TVs/Cable/etc., I didn't need it...

So, do you use your video iPod's video ?

nah, never! only ever listen to music on it, but the bigger screen, battery life, thinness etc. were my main reasons for buying (and video for cool factor of course )

I watch a few video podcasts now and again...

Same here. I have one video on it and i haven't even watched that one all the way through.

I watch videos ALL THE TIME... not as much as I listen to music, but yes I do use the video function. At first, I never thought I would use the video function, I just needed a new iPod at the time (bad experience with friends pushing me into a pool...) and thought "it looks cool, but not gonna use it that much." But, now, I use it at least a few times a day to watch a good music video or a movie or an episode of my favorite show, House.

I don't use it that much; mostly to catch up on old strongbad emails or to show funny short clips to my friends. but it seems kinda superfluous.

I have trips into NYC from CT (over 1 hour), and I use the time to watch music videos I downloaded and half-hour episodes of my favorite shows. I put like 390390 episodes of the Twilight Zone on it, so there's always something new. I usually change it up: sometimes I watch videos, sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I do one and then the other. I love the video feature.

I have family videos on it. Don't really watch them very often, but when I do want to see one, I always have it with me so that is cool. 99% of time is music.

I've got some video podcasts but I'd never watch a movie on it.

06-17-2006, 11:54 AM

i have no movies on it and i will not watch a movie on it, but my friend said that watching a movie on it is pretty alright.

I love to watch my fav TV shows that I missed. They are like 23 or so minutes and thats just enough time for me to watch them while doing some cardio at the gym.
