Teeny Tiny TV

A new week and a new iPod.
Apple has always been inovators in making things that are innovative and small. Yesterday, they revealed the Video iPod. It looks like a regular iPod but you can download video and TV programs to watch them everywhere. The catch, the screen is 2.5 inches wide. No matter how clear the picture is, can you really see anything? Apple has made a deal with ABC for their programs to be available on iTunes. What fun would Desperate Housewives be in that small size? You couldn't tell how thin Teri Hatcher is, or how hot Eva Longoria's gardener is (fine how hot Eva Longoria is). And a mini-version of LOST would just be more confusing because you wouldn't be able to read the magical number sequence (4, 8, 15,16, 23, 42) when it shows up on screen, Hurley would take up the whole screen and the cute Hobbit guy would really look like a Hobbit.
This also brings up the question of don't we already watch too much TV? I know I watch too much TV and definitely don't need to be able to carry it around in my purse. If people were watching them on the subway it would be hard to distinguish them from the crazy people who are just laughing to themselves and not at a bad ABC sitcom.
Don't get me wrong, I love the iPod. Well, I don't have one, but I'd like one. But just a regular one that plays music, the photo one could be neat too but I don't have a digital camera either.
It makes me wonder though, in the land of the big screen TV will this sell? Probably.
