From the article:
"Will Jobs really change his tune on the subject? Probably not. While some expect the company to unveil a revolutionary new kind of iPod, designed specifically for playing video, chances are the company will simply fold some video capabilities into all future iPods. That means no separate product name -- and no big advertising blitz."
"Instead, the ability to store and view videos may be presented as one more reason to buy an iPod. As a strategic weapon, video may be more important in defensive terms -- as a way to dissuade consumers from considering video-capable products from rivals such as Archos, Creative Technology (CREAF ), and others."
It then goes on to talk about the failure of the iPod Photo as a separate product.
