nanos will most likely not have movies

i dont think the nano will ever play movies though because its marketed towards people who just want to listen to music while they workout

did you ever think the only reason nanos don't play video is because movies are too huge to put on a 4gb disk? they could put the software of a normal ipod on a nano any time they want, but a nano just doesn't have enough space to put as many movies as you feel. and think about it, the average .avi full length movie is 700 megs. that's a lot of space considering you have 3.3 gigs left.

I believe that the fact that the iPhone (with similar storage capacities to the iPod Nano) supports movie playback kills your argument dead. Sorry.

I don't think many people sit through a movie on a 2 inch screen. I certainly don't. But I do watch quite a lot of video podcasts. As you may know IPTV is on the up and I expect there'll be more and more content of this type soon. I don't mind - in fact I do it quite often - sitting though a half-hour podcast on a small screen and they're not 700MB.

A whole 2 hour movie can be compressed into 600MB at reasonable quality you could probably shunt it down to 300MB if you watch it on a small screen so yeah, its not 700MB.
