Unplanned Speculation
Thanks for the comment Slop. It really made me think. I was going to post this as a comment but it took on a life of it's own:
When the Nano was released I thought that it's a better option since I don't really enjoy randomly hearing tracks from my library. I'd rather have a small selection of songs that I feel like hearing and shuffle through them. My cousin bought the 30Gig iPod without the clickwheel and two weeks later, the 40Gig was released. So if I'm getting a big boy, it's gonna play video.
As for it being released tomorrow. I'd really like that except I'm sceptical. Why would they release it so close after the Nano? It just doesn't make sense to me. It'd be like Nintendo introducing the GBA and the DS in the same week.
Unless like you say Apple releases an online OS update for all colour iPods. But that'll mean another iTunes update within a month. Which now that I think about it, probably makes sense since v 5.0 was pretty lacklustre in it's new features so maybe the update to it would be some small trigger that enables all of the hidden video features already present.
Hmmm, come to think of it, I'm not so sure of anything right now. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
Slop said (re: my PSP):I decided on getting the Nano for precisely that reason, the Video enabled iPod. I was originally saving up for the 60Gig.
wow. I want one. Although I wonder if it would survive apple coming out with a video iPod?

I don't think the PSP and vidPod would directly compete since the PSP is primarily a videogame console.
Also the Shuffle has more memory space than the memory stick that comes bundled with the PSP. I think most peoples priory would be to buy a game over extra memory (the 512MB Shuffle is only R130 [$20] more than a 512 Memory Stick).
Matt Sony Hart, glad to see you're in a position to stock up on the latest gadgets!
The video iPod is about two years too late. Too many iPod detractors whinged about the lack of video. Still, it doesn't seem to have hurt...
