First page of New York Times Business page today, there’s a column by David Pogue titled “An IPod [sic] Worth Keeping an Eye On.” Pogue writes in glowing terms about the new iPod with video screen, and claims it’s much cooler than it sounds. As in, that tiny screen has great resolution and looks pretty big when you hold it a couple of feet from your eyes.

And the iTunes Music Store already has video podcasts ready to download onto your new video iPod. Now that’s cool. I have kinda cooled on the audio podcast idea, but I like the idea of video podcasts.

The only downside that I can see is that some churches will start doing video podcasts consisting of unedited, one-camera videos of a worship service. That sounds horribly boring. But imagine a really rocking sermon recorded with a video montage of vaguely related images, music-video style — that’s something I might actually watch.
