Thumbs up IPod Video: I'm doing a 180

Eh, I still don't get it, but ...

I notice the IPod video format is 320x240 (QuickTime 7.x only) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutor...tingvideo.html

Now while I, personally, have always thought even on the web this size is just too damned small -- and forunately on the computer I can usually right click and have it go to full screen size -- something that can't obviously can't be done on the IPod.

Well, just because I don't like the size and I don't get it ... It's also obvious that there are plugins feeds and paysite areas even in this "age of broadband" that still use the 320x240 format a whole lot -- and quite successfully.

So, I've done a total 180. I take it all back. This thing is obviously going to fly.

My point is, as a business person I do not have to get it. I only have to get that the consumers get it.

I can see this being big, both porn and non-porn video.

And, although the IPod format/audience is fueling this, I can see it getting really big when other formats and non-IPod specific hardware and feeds come out and give it a run for the money. That should start soon and happen by Spring. Meanwhile, IPod is going to rule Christmas.
