 Now that David and I had our iPod with video debate, Ziff Davis Editor in Chief Jim Louderback and PC Magazine Labs Analyst Mike Kobrin have started up about the video iPod's measly/adequate two hours battery life when playing video. You can read the entire exchange here, but here on Gearlog we like to cut to the chase. Below you will find the best line from each side.
Jim Louderback: If you can't watch the extended version of one of the three Lord of the Rings movies, then it is too short. I think 3 hours is the absolute minimum—both for plane flights and other trips. My opinion, as a traveler... Mike Kobrin: If you're watching LOTR on the iPod, you've bought the wrong device. Period. Don't forget, Apple positioned this as a music player, not a video player, no matter what people want it to be. Faulting a player's secondary capability for not performing as well (ok, as long) as the primary capability of other devices makes no sense. Jennifer DeLeo's Comments: This debate is interesting because although there is talk that the new iPod with video is revolutionizing the market, I think it's easy to forget that there are other portable video players already out and work better. Of course, these video players aren't music players too, so that's why the new iPod has the upper hand. Jim & Mike aren't the only ones debating about the video iPod either. PcMag.com editor Lance Ulanoff confesses that Steve Jobs is actually saving the market from distinction.

Hey Guys I Think U Are All forgeting as technology is today Its Fantastic but people forget if u want a movie player u buy a dvd player and plug in to ur normal 51 inch tv , if u want a portable dvd player u buy a portable dvd player with a prebuilt 7inch screen. if u want a digital camera u buy a digital camera , if u want a mobile phone u buy a mobile phone etc. ipods will always be the best mp3 player design by far but i wuld just use my ipod as a mp3 player i have lost and movies on my computer i dnt need to put them on my ipod its not a need its a want and it is a novelty that will eventually wear off then ur back to playing movies on ur computer or dvd player at home. If u buy a mobile with a digital camera eg nokia n70 the digital camera quality is pathetic why not buy a normal mobile and buy a decent digital camera . thats my opinion i noe alot of people would disagree with it by all means u are aloud i honestly dnt mind. plus the bad quality digital camera phones are so bloody expensive it unbeleiveable what people would buy with a bit of encouragment from a shonky radio ad or a tv ...
