Mix: Video iPod, Podscope, Napster-XM, Darth Vader

BusinessWeek’s Peter Burrows says that the video iPod may not be designed for watching full-length movies and Apple could use the opportunity to “introduce a subscription service, in which customers would pay a fixed monthly fee to watch as many videos as they want.”

Podscope is a new spoken word index and search engine that currently contains content from more than 20,000 podcasts from over 3,500 sites. [via TUAW]

Napster and XM Satellite Radio have announced that they will launch an online service and XM-compatible digital music players that let users bookmark songs on XM for future purchases online.

A Star Wars fan is auctioning off a 20GB fourth-generation iPod that has been modified with a red screen, painted Darth Vader theme, and a protective clearcoat.

If the video ipod doesn’t allow me to put MY video on it and watch it…I simply won’t buy it.
