Apple Replaces B/W White iPods with Color Screens

FlameboyC11 writes "A quick check at the Apple online store shows no sign of the black-and-white screened 'white' iPods. The iPod Photo has replaced them in the 20GB and 60GB categories, but is keeping the same price scale ($300 for low end and $400 for high end). This seems like such a quick switch to color, perhaps a video player is coming faster than we think?"

Use in meeting presentations where you don't want a full laptop, just plug straight into a data prjector? I wonder why they haven't done a keynote -> ipod interface yet? I guess you could do them as jpgs on the ipod photo?

Yes. The iPod is certainly incapable of playing video. [clarkson.edu]

Plus, the H.264 codec [apple.com] is supposed to be "highly scalable", so it would be quite natural, IMO, for Apple to start offering methods for the entire range of use. They've already got the HD side pretty well covered, and a video iPod would be perfect for the "mobile" end of the codec.
