i wonder how that experience compares to those who get a 'featured" spot.

Well, I think there HAVE been choices - Treos, Creative Players, just as there 
were choices 
in the MP3 player market.  (I remember my first Rio).  But giving an audience 
choice 
doesn't necessarily lead to more choices, it usually means less in the end, as 
the popular 
choice gains primary market share and market consolidates.   But what you lose 
in 
multiple formats and devices, you gain in critcal audience mass.  

It'd be fascinating to hear from videocasters who are currently featured in the 
iTMS how 
much their subscriptions increased over the holiday as many people unwrapped 
their 
video iPods for the first time and went looking for content.

I'm new here, so I'm just catching up and maybe I'be missed a lot of debate...

With Apple putting so many portable video players into so many potential 
videoblog 
watchers' hands who probably until now have never even considered watching a 
podcast, 
I'm surprised people are underwhelmed by the potential mass market Apple has 
delivered 
to you.
