Do you know how much video I have? How many hours I am on the road?

I would suck those batteries dry faster than a pornstar would her cohorts in booty

The more times passes, the more I realize that people waste their money on things they don't actually need.

The video ipod would be cool, but really, how much would you use it? Most people wouldnt use it much. It is kind of a novelty that wears off after awhile. And there are many better portable video players out there too.

Exactly, You'll run out of battery life long before you watch 1/32 of the videos you have on there, such sh1tty battery life...

frankly, i agree with u that the battery life on the ipod 5g when watching video is pretty lame, but so is the battery life on other PMC's. remember that the iPod Video isn't meant to be a PMC. it's and awsome Mp3 player with the addition of video. as much as i love my iPod mini, i suggest that you get the Creative Zen Vision M. it even allows u 2 c divx encoded files as well! this is my 2 cents. good luck!

I have one and the only video I watched on it so far was the ice age 2 trailer. LOL

Got it filled with 54 GB of 'tunes though. All lossless. :)

I have reminders (from outlook) on it and I heard some strange bell and saw the ipod screen light up by itself! Nearly freaked me out. :Q

lol, "15fps" is pretty good, I get 30fps easy on my cellphone, infact when "benchmarking it", it can play up to 145% of it's original speed (30FPS)...

Like what? A car, a house, college? So you could eat at McD's instead of going to a nice restaurant. But who cares? iPod Videos, Computers....those are just petty cash in the bank of life in the big scheme of things.

Things add up you know, all those "petty purchases" that women make every time they go to the mall add up, and then it bites them in the ass when they realize they've got $30-60K in debt, you'd be surprised how much debt you can rack up with out purchasing a house or car...

Yeah, I made fun of my friends for buying ipods, I always thought that they were overpriced, gimmicky, etc. My buddy said that it's worth the amount of money he paid since he gets so much enjoyment from it. So I went ahead and bought one about two weeks ago, and love it. I listen to it all the time...so I guess it's worth the money for me.

Well if they only spent the £££ they HAD and not borrowed it etc they would be fine :)

I have my fair share of 'stuff' but I save a lot of my £££. I'm not in debt. I only spend what £££ I have to spend and don't borrow £££ to buy stuff. I'll of course borrow £££ to get a house but everyone needs a place to live.
