This article says pornography to go is a no-brainer, but oddly enough, I never saw this coming. I liked the idea of the video iPod when I first heard about it and I like porn. I don't care much for the idea of carrying "Rocco Ravishes Europe" or anything by Max Hardcore in my pocket, though. My feeling is that iPod porn will soon make headlines in the context of it's use by students in classrooms. I have to worry too, about whether or not public masturbation becomes more convenient and thus more prevalent. I take public transportation. And public restrooms, fuggedaboutit!
Anyway, I still don't have an iPod nor any of the other portable mini music players as of yet. I have a portable cd player that plays mp3s on CD. While the video iPod sounds cool, I may be leaning toward the Sony PSP, which plays games as well as video. I'll probably get one around January-ish. I haven't had a close up look at either product, but I assume the screen sizes will make watching subtitled movies troublesome. That's kinda an issue for me. Also the price.
iTunes is selling video downloads for $1.99 or something. That seems a bit much, but people appear to be buying 'em. Plus a more reasonable price point might have people questioning the 99 cents they're charging for music downloads. Tough to argue with success, though. Besides, there are alternatives for the resourceful among us. "Nudge, nudge, say no more"...
