Yeah you slipped-up round the left hand side (as we are looking at it) of the screen. You can see a wee bump there!

nanos will most likely not have movies
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.
