$0.00 is not a choice, I guess.

Sorry, but I think this is a silly poll. I thought the original iPod price was outlandish, but eventually I warmed up to it. There’s this whole theory that you’ve got to do market research to have a successful product… Apple doesn’t, yet they still have successes. Fact of the matter is, if it’s just an iPod that plays videos coming from my computer, I prolly wouldn’t spend that much for it because that feature, while major, doesn’t have much value to me… if the execute it the right way, however, and I can take the place of my Tivo with the thing, then I’ll be all over it and would spend prolly $600 for it with a decent hard drive.

The one thing I know: the unknown is the fun part!

Considering the Zen Vision is 30GB at 399.99, then I would roughly go with a 60GB Video iPod at 499.99.

Just as bRaD says, totally pointless poll. If there are useful home-use features for the device (tivoesque) with wireless integration into OS X it pretty much depends upon the capacity. If it was just a portable video player I second PushButtonAction. I would not spend a single cent more on a device just because it has a feature I do not want. What I do want is an 80GB iPod, but for music only, and I want it NOT to have the annoying skipping problem with ALAC.

I’m going to agree with the majority here.  I’m personally against the not-so-recent push toward devices which insist on multitasking.  Just like people, 99% of the time, sticking to one thing at a time will always yield a better outcome.  If I needed a mobile video player I would buy one, but such a feature adds no value to my iPod which started out as, and should remain as, a portable music player.

No more than $449.

If it has DVR capability (which I think it won’t): 40gb-$399, 60gb-$499

If it has no DVR capability and has limited (you better convert it to quicktime fool!) playback capability: 40gb-$350, 60gb-$450.

A lot of it has to do if it’s gonna have the current sized screen (kinda small for movies) or if it will have a letterbox format screen placed sideways, like on the psp. What Apple choses to do in this respect really tells the world whether they believe in a product like this or if they are just doing it to appease the mob.

$0….not often i “look” at my ipod except to pick a playlist, podcast, or audiobook (it’s purely used for audio).

I’d pay a little more than for a regular iPod, for the novelty value. I don’t see it as a an overall winning feature yet. Showing photos is a far more universal desire than watching movies at the DMV.

(FYI, I’m logged in and never voted, but still it shows results and no place to vote.)

Ok! I will pay 0$ for that! I think that the 4G iPods are capables to play videos if a software update for the iPod brings the possibility to. Anyway, never to watch the video on a miniscreen, you can loose your eyes!

I picked $599 but that’s only because I paid nearly that much when I purchased the new photo iPod when it came out.

I would like to see a poll on how many itunes downloads have members purchased.
