Wait until you see what they're going to be
stuffing into the Ipod video player. We want
it smaller and smaller with more bandwidth
available in a smaller place.

I have an idea. It will all make sense if they

feel this way already, thanks to them!) to find
the IPOD experience a BIG SCREEN THRILL!
