Im with you on this, agree. Not sure if it will last a year, I heard something about another ipod with a wider screen for some point in the future, but who knows if thats true.
But yeah, even though I regularily talk about higher resolution and higher quality videoblogs as a valid thing, Im not unhappy with 320x240. It is indeed a great leveler, it means we can compete, though the material apple chooses to highlight within itunes podcast/video directory is likely to resemble more of the traditional filter that gives the big players the advantage. Another thing itunes stuff does is break the world up. If I look at the top 100 podcasts in the UK through itunes, it isnt the same as the USA. All the countries have their own seperate stats. That might be relevant actually, because some videobloggers may end up being popular in countries they dont expect, for strange cultural-content or humour matching reasons. I dont know if podcasters have caught onto this issue, but my tip for anybody casting through itunes and interested in stats and what material is allegedly most popular, is this: Go in through the music store in itunes rather than the podcast directory button. At the very bootom of the front page there is a dropdown to change country. Change to another country and then click on the podcasts link within the itunes store. You should then see which podcast feeds are in the top 100 for that country. I tried this yesterday in iTunes 5, dunno if its the same in 6. One things for sure, this announcement has given me verbal diahorrea, a word I cant spell.
