U2 iPod, Photo iPod and Additional iTMS Localizations Released

[msconvert]

I totally agree with you, I would go get one now if there are some more cool features like:
1) Video viewing supported (If possible Id like to see the feature "Import DVDs to iPod" just like what we can do with the music from CD, what do you think people?

As much as I agree with you,

the only problem with this is: The MPAA had the copyright laws changed so that copying (backing up) a dvd is illegal. Therefore apple will not overtly make a device to break the law. Yes, guns don't kill people people kill people, but this has been a stated reason by Apple as to why portable video is a long way away. The legal system is not ready for this kind of device. Jobs is even against putting HDDVD readers/burners into computers to prevent illegal copying untill it can be sorted out.

This should come as no surprise, it's been the case in other countries as well. Here in Canada for instance we have Napster and a couple other online stores, whereas iTMS won't be here for a few more weeks.

It's definitely a good kick in the rear for Apple though to make sure they work as hard as possible to keep opening stores in order to keep gaining market share.

Yea, still working hard to exclude Ireland, though. Despite all sorts of promises that last-minute problems had to be cleared up, and that the iTMS Irish store was imminent after sorting out some copyright issues, the whole subject has just disappeared. We may be small, but we are in the Euro zone, and the only one using this currency to be ignored.

Well.. I don't know about you, but I'm boycotting iTMS until it comes here...
