Video iPods: the competition
Check out this review of portable video players.
I expect Apple could make a nice-sized 640 X 480 videoPod with 60 gig hard drive for $500.
Here's what others are doing:
Archos AV 500
Screen: 480 X 272
30 gig: $500
100 gig: $700
Built-in DVR
Creative Zen Vision
Screen: 640 X 480
30 gig: $400
Archos AV 700
Screen: 480 X 234
40 gig: $600
100 gig: $800
Built-on DVR
There are also products like this Sony DVD player for $250. No hard drive.
And obviously the current iPod has a 320 X 240 screen, and the 30 gig hard drive version goes for $300, and the 60 gig version goes for $400.

I just ordered the 30gig 604 wifi with touch screen from amazon for $399. Sam's club has them for $369.
I'll also be ordering the dvr dock and the Helmet cam.
