the ipod is meant for MUSIC
if it was meant for hauling around video and crap then apple would have made it do that years ago. if you want to carry around video in your pocket go buy a portable dvd player.
and yeah, mini disc players have scrolling LCD screens.. woot. the screen has to scroll because it isn't big enough to show the whole file name all at once. last time i checked, the ipods screen was about 2"
http://store.apple.com- hey, what do you know! remote controls and microphones! FM transmitters and portable speakers! these don't grow the market? hmm.
sure, there are a few things apple could have done to make the ipod better, and most of these things they or third party companies can still do, but at least give apple the credit they deserve.
