Have we hit the top of the limit?
How is the iPod going to top video? After 5 generations, we're into an age of video.
It's funny to think on how far it's come since 2001. Here we are in 2007 and the iPod how has video capabilities when we use to have that old monochromatic stuff. It's interesting to me.
I do find it interesting, though, that currently the iPod Video doesn't allow you to put WMV or AVI on them. This presents an issue for those who wish to play DVD videos on them.
Maybe iPod doesn't want to come across as the sole reason people begin pirating video and putting them on the iPods. Maybe they just don't want us to enjoy showing our own Videos on them. Who knows.
I wish they'd allow you, though, but we can all wait for Gen. 6. ;)

Here's a way to get a 60GB iPod:
I thought you'd like to know. ;)
Steps to get a 60GB Ipod
by: Shelly Green
You don't realize it yet, but in the next 2 minutes you're going to learn how to get yourself an Ipod for next to nothing. Okay first off, they are not completely free but they are very simple to get. You're intelligent enough to know that you can't get something for nothing. But by knowing this information you will be able to get your Ipod, for about 8 dollars or less. By the time you finish reading this page you'll feel you have all the knowledge to get your Ipod.
Allow your thoughts to focus on the information in the next few paragraphs very closely. It is a very simple process.
First sign up for a free account...http://premiumipods.freepay.com/?r=31260156
Next click on one of the offers they are offering. Choose an offer they run between 1 to 8 dollars to start. Try to pick something that you may want. Also if you choose one with a monthly subscription do not forget to cancel after you get your Ipod. Unless you want to keep it ( the subscriptions are very good, I actually kept mine).
Now you must refer 8 people. If you are like me and do not have any friends do not worry. There is a simple solution for this. Get a Myspace, Yahoo, or AOL account. Then just write a blog explaining the offer. Thousands of people go through these a day. Think of it as free advertising. And that's it. Simple. Just think about how easy this is.
Now for those of you critics out there.(we always have a few of them) I will explain why companies do this. As you read this paragraph you will experience less and less doubt. So pay very close attention as I explain the process the big companies are using. It is called viral marketing. For those of you who have an online business you know the most important thing is generating quality traffic. The major companies just care about building a customer base, so they are willing to give to get their customer base. They just care about you referring the 8 people to get your Ipod. This is a common practice to build customers. AOL and Las Vegas are just a few of the many who use this technique. Las Vegas gives away the free comps and sells you on the Vegas nightlife, they do not sell playing the slot machines. Las Vegas's main goal is to get you to gamble but they sell you on everything else. And these companies main goal is to get you to refer the 8 people and they sell you on the Ipod.
Now let this all sink in for a moment. Now you understand why it is a win-win for everyone. And for those of you in business for yourself try using this form of advertising in your next campaign. If it's good enough for the major companies it should be good enough for the small fish as well.
I thought you'd like to know. ;)

My How You've Grown iPod
iPods have changed since I first was introduced to them. This is no lie. Actually, the whole media experience has changed since I remember.
Now, I wasn't around for the transister radio, but I heard those were the beatin'est things.
The first thing I remember on the portabale media end was on cassette. The Walkman was my first iPod. Everyone had one. They were the most happening thing when I was younger. iPods were not even a thought back then. No, we were scaling new heights with CDs.
I remember my first CD player. You couldn't carry it around because it would skip, but boy were those CDs cool. **
It was a smaller gap between CDs and MP3s than there was Cassettes and CDs. It was like the whole media world sped up. Things were becoming more digital. I mean, you can see the difference in video quality in Star Wars Episode I vs the video quality in Star Wars Episode II.
MP3s were magical! You could download music, and burn them onto the new burnable CDs! It was awesome! Then, out came the mp3 players.
These were foriegn to most people, difficult to understand, and people stared at them like monkeys wondering where the tape went into, or the CDs.
And in the year 2001. The Space Odessy year, iPods came out. They swept the world with their cool, sleek design and user-friendly-ness. When my friends all went out to refund their new generic mp3 players, they came back with iPods.
They didn't ask me if I had one, they asked me where I kept it (I was still listening to CDs then).
iPods were it. They were the pinnacle. Nothing could beat them. Accessories and plugins and upgrades were coming in as fast as the little boogers could sell.
It was almost as if they could take over the Walkman Status, and iPods did.
I am going to side track here, taking on to a new phenomenon in the internet world: Video. Video became so big on the internet community, that it was like the online popular equivalent to the iPod. "What videos are on your youtube?" They asked.
Video grew to humongous porportions. As did the iPod. Little did the world know that as soon as Apple could make iPod's screens work it out, video was coming to iPod.
And this is where we are today. Not only is portable media popular, you can pretty much download any video on the internet from movies and TV shows to youtube.com podcasts right on to your iPod. It's absolutely amazing how this has progressed over the last few years.
What's next for iPod? Are they going to slow down? or are they going to start something new? How can they get any better? Are iPods ever going to decrease in the publics popularity rating?
iPod Video is not as new as it once was, but I think it's because people expect so much from Apple. iPod video, need I say more? It's one of the many advances in portable technology that has me baffled.
Hey! You got video in my iPod! You got iPod in my Video! Mmmm.

I am disregarding the quickly thrown out "Mini discs". Those were a waste of time.
