Video is here.

So the day has come. iPod now supports video. I love it.

I love it for so many reasons, but here's the three main uses I will get from this.

1. Music Videos. I'm a music video junkie (Well, music junkie in general) and not only will this allow people to have many of their favorite videos in their hands at all times, but it will also allow the smaller bands a chance to make a bit extra money and get seen by a larger audience then they may have before.

2. Movies. I love motion picture movies. My subscription to Blockbuster Online has been the greatest subscription service I've ever had. I use it to its max; sometimes watching more then 1 movie in a night just so I can throw them both back in the mail and await my next selections' arrival. I'm not quite sure if they're being sold on iTunes yet, but you have to assume they will be. But better yet, think of this : You have your iPod and you walk into a video rental place in the mall. You dock the iPod at a kiosk, rent the latest movie and it downloads into your iPod. The playback only works for say a week, and then the file expires and deletes itself. You can watch the movie on your iPod, or you can hook it to your tv and watch it on the larger screen.

3. Television Shows. AHHHHHHHH! Think of the implications of this. ANYTHING on TV now available to have in your back pocket. The football game you missed because you had to spend quality time with the family. The episode of the sitcom that you just couldn't stop laughing at and want to show all your friends. The cooking show that goes too quickly to cook along. All with you, ready and available when you need it. I'm going to go broke!
