i’m quite bummed, i must say.
steve jobs just stated that video playback qouldn’t be an option fur future ipod devices when holding a conference about the release of the nano and itunes 5.
so this comes nothing short of a surprise, and to be honest, i don’t even believe any of it.
Apparently this is just a stop-gap until a full-blown video iPod with a larger screen is released next year.
