Video iPod


We all new it was coming...
What an impressive peice of hardware. It's definitely slimmer than I expected, but it features a much smaller screen than I was hoping for. It would be a great up-grade. I could get rid of my old iPod and watch more movies on my new one... but the screen of my PSP is so much bigger for watching movies.
+ slimmer
+ larger capacity
+ cool color (black)
+ click wheel (vs. my Gen3 model)
+ remote control via dock
+ nice screen
- small screen
- would have to sell my old iPod

This is a nice walk-through of using MacTheRipper and Handbrake to convert DVD's into a format that can be viewed on the new video iPod.
Ripping movies to the iPod

What surprises me is the amount of anti-iPod sentiment there is out there. What's up? If you don't like it, shaddup! and buy whatever peice of crap you'd rather be lugging around. What's the matter, hate to be reminded how awesome Apple is compared to that crappy WinBox company you keep buying from? Whatever.
