Or is there no real need or desire for wrist-watch-size TV's? Why do
you think there are no video phones yet? The technology is there.
I don't even hear people getting excited about using their computer as a
phone-- aint gonna happen.
My feeling is that iPod video will never move beyond the "novelty" stage
of acceptance. Except, as someone else noted, as a teeny, tiny VCR that
can play movies on your TV..... That's more intriguing. A teeny, tiny
VCR, that you can take with you to people's houses or apartments to play
your video on... Video Resumes? How to "books" with video.
Perpetually updated living wills....
