actually, you're right, the video playback is shite on it. never mind, eh?

also, those flimsy little earphones are the most laughable thing about iPods. i've been through 4 sets of them, the bass always goes out on them until it sounds like a whoopee cushion. i currently use an old pair of sony Groove earpbuds, with the additional rubbery bit on it. good for bass, good for not getting mugged...

I want a new ipod at some point, and i'm glad they are making them smaller. my ipod is thick enough, too thick, even. the 4G 60GB ipods were getting that way (they were nearly an inch thick) and they were far too bulky. if music playback is good, then i'll get one. if the video playback is acceptable enough to put my showreel on, then that's perfect. full movies i'm guessing are slow and clunky anyway on an ipod, they definately are on itunes or quicktime...

i just need one that has more than 100gb, or i won't buy one
