I'm not sure where y'all are getting this info that sighted people aren't watching videos on their iPhones. I haven't found any statistics pointing to this myself. From watching my family, they most definitely do bring up videos, YouTube for example, on their iPhones. Maybe they're not watching the Hobbit on their iPhones, but I doubt their would be so many video options on the iPhone if people weren't using it. I also suspect the iPhone would take a beating in the market place if it didn't let you watch videos, at least based on the advertising I'm seeing.

I fully agree. Why would people within the last 10 years or so invest in
huge LCD and plasma TVs then want to watch videos on some of the smaller
screens out there EG: Apple cell phones? I of course realize current
hand held devices are meant to be carried around, but their original
purpose of being a cell phone is at the bottom of the feature list
nowadays.

This is how I feel, but most sighted people are going to want
something more than 4 or 5 inches for TV and Movie watching.

    Why not? Doesn't seem like too much to ask from technological
    perspective.
    (Smile). After all, couldn't someone ask the converse of an
iPhone: Why
    would anyone want a tiny 4 inch TV?
