Today Apple announced the iPod with video capabilities along with iTunes 6 where you can buy videos for $1.99 each. There is a cable you can use to connect to your television so you don't have to watch the small screen. The problem I see is that the resolution of the videos are 320x240, half of a DVDs resolution. So I'm curious to see if it really looks that good on a TV.
The other problem I see is that you can't burn a DVD of the video to watch in a DVD player. But it's not really that big of a deal to me, as I don't use iTunes to burn CDs of music. When I listen to music in the car or at work, I only listen to my iPod.
Currently, Apple has about 2000 music videos and 5 TV shows from ABC and Disney that you can purchase.
The future of digital video is here and I can't wait to see what the future holds for HD.

P.S. Apple also released a new iMac G5 today.
