[QUOTE="Tel, post: 132497"] To play a video, the iPod would have to process a lot more information than usual meaning it would have to fill its buffer a lot more often resulting in the hard disk spinning more and the battery running out quicker. Not to mention the fact that they would have to upgrade the processor, increase the buffer and give the iPod a decent 'video card' (for lack of a better word). I don't think they could create a video iPod and keep it competitively priced. I also don't think there is much of a market for a video iPod, most people who use iPods use them when traveling, and its not easy to watch a movie while walking around. As for using them on planes or trains, if I was to frequently travel on a train or plane long enough to watch a film, I'd just bring my iBook along and get some work done while watching a movie on a decent size screen.
