Cable company offers "Video iPod" as prize

Seems like a modern case of "Paul is Dead". Everyone is being so hyper-observant that they are saying that because two sites (of seemingly not the best reliablity) which in any other circumsatnce no-one would pay any attention to. I think they just dont really know what they are talking about, when the first iPod came out the newspapers over here got all the facts wrong, saying it held 500 songs eg.

ZuDfunck would look so cool on a vPod... Lets hope it is a vPod... I will click my shoes together Wiggle my nose Touch my toes Come on vPod!

Okay, so before the announcement is made and it turns out to be nothing exciteing (as has past Apple events...), I figure I'd get in what I want to see out of the next iPod: psPod. Sony and Apple should get togeather and create the PlayStationPod, a device about the size of the current PSP, but have Apple design the exterior of the device and the OS (so it's much better for playing music), add a 60 GB hard drive, add an sd slot (i can take or leave the memory stick slot), keep the WiFi and UMD drive. Add a full Web Browser (i.e. FLASH!!!), and an optional keyboard so you can enter in addresses notes and calander appointments. Make HP sorry they dumped Apple!!! (I know it won't happen, but one can dream, can't they?...... Can't they????)

Well 'IF' a video iPod would be released, whether today or any later date, as some people have pointed out earlier in other posts: I would not need a bigger screen to watch anything on the road (given the fact that I now live in the Bahamas where on-the-road never means more than 15 minutes, anyway), but what I would want a 'vPod' for would be just simply to load the movies and clips on it, and watch it over any external device (TV, projector, etc).... so no bigger screen needed for me.

It's not a Zen micro it's Creative's portable video player which has been around for a long time!

If they come out with an iPod video, they better make a bigger screen than what we are currently seeing!

WOWOWOWOWOWOW How freakin ripped off would you feel to enter a contest for a vPod and get a ZEN MICRO?!?!?!?!?! I'm sure a lawyer could have field day with that. Talk about false advertising.

Video iPod! Damn, I'm not going to sleep tonight!

The chip in iPod photo (gen 5) at least, if not also in iPod gen 4 has native support for MJPEG. Thus an iPod video can be made just by a firmware update.

Wow, that would suck. Getting stuck with a Creative Zen when you thought you would get an iPod video.
