Well, it would make a lot more sense if the iPod was more modular (apart from a removable battery...). An add-on, which connects to the iPod and has a built in video decoder plus a sensible output to connect to a TV or a built-in screen wouldn't be that bad an idea. It would be a tremendous waste to have both a dedicated music player and a dedicated video player for 500� each. As I said earlier, only nerds, rich people and Japanese would buy both. Some kind of dock with a screen, into which you can plug an iPod seems more reasonable, considering you can get rid of the battery and hard-drive. This could be sold for 150� or so, although I doubt Apple would sell it that cheap (they charge that much for a freaking web-cam already).
