New designed iPod Video Grows Bigger

Along with the new iPod Nanos and Shuffle, Apple has discontinued one of the iPod Video units, the 60gb model. Do not dispair, as it was replaced by an 80gb model. This would make sense, since the new iTunes 7.0 will allow users to buy and download feature films from the Walt Disney company.

While I don't expect it to replace the local video stores, it is nice to have the option to get a movie or two for that long plane ride on your next business trip. Who knows what else Apple has up their sleeve, but this is a major change in how copyrighted content is handled, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
