320px Video is Worth Watching?
I agree with this blogger that there is going to be plenty of demand for $1.99 TV shows for the iPod Video even at the lower resolution. People spend billions on crappy song renditions of ring-tones and buy bowling cell-phone games for god-sakes. There is a market for this stuff as long as people have time to waste on-line somewhere or feel like procrastinating from studying at the library. Trust me, I know.We subscribe to brands. We subscribe to content, not format. There are valid points about surrounding technologies being good or bad: from DRM to BitTorrent. Yet at that single moment in time, I only cared about that THING that's running amok on the island while Jack, Kate, and the ever-suspicious Charlie are making their way back to the others. No one wants to watch video sized at 320 pixels, you'll say. To that, I'll just tell you to keep it down. I'm watching.
