The Video iPod will come in two sizes, 30GB and 60GB, they can store up to 150 hours of video, that you can watch on a 2.5 inch color display. These iPods have a 20 hour battery life, and come in both the standard white that we have seen for a long time, and now like the U2 version, in black as well. The 30GB iPod is less than half an inch thick, and the 60GB is smaller than it was before.
Along with these new iPods, we also have a new iTunes Store. The Store now has 2,000 music videos and ABC/Disney programming. Including hit programs such as “Lost, “Desperate Housewives,” Night Stalker†and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” The best thing, the price, $1.99. Using the iTunes Store, you can download the episodes, 1 day after it airs on TV. This is what a lot of people were doing with Bit Torrent for free. However, it is very possible that people will switch over this method because it guarantees the quality, and that it will be online a day after it airs. With most Bit Torrent distributors, you don’t know about the quality until you start watching it, and you have no idea when the show will be released. The Video iPod has the possibility to bring downloading legally TV shows into the mainstream.
Finally, the quality of the downloaded video will be high quality; they will be encoded in the H.264 QuickTime format. With regards to Digital Rights Management, you will be able to watch videos on up to five computers.
As of now, download speed are unknown, they will be tested sometime in the near future
