Woodworking videos on iPods

Plus you would be missing a big, important detail about woodworking demographics.

That most of us are "visually challenged".

I would add something else to this reality... How many of those "visually challenge" folks have an iPod? They probably don't even know what it is.

Sorry but this idea is good for garbage.

Think harder!

Also, I'm not sure I'd want a sensitive $400 piece of electronics in my shop, which is filled with spinning metal bits, sharp edges, precarious drops, hard floors, and sawdust everywhere.

It's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure how practical it would be,

I use my iPod in my shop for music, but I've no interest in squinting to view the screen of the new video iPod for woodworking projects or even DH.

OMG, I think I'm a geek myself, but I didn't know an iPod could play video! I think that means I don't know what one is.

My 83 year old mother has one of the video models ... but that's OK, cuz it forced her to recently upgrade from Windows 3.11 For Workgroups and get a new computer.

Ooh, they work with Linux?

Thanks much to all who posted. Without out something to actually show people, I'd guess most here are not enthusiastic about the idea of a portable video player in the workshop.

Appreciate the comments tho, again thanks!

To answer one question: people have provided hacks for using iPods with Linux. Tho, Apple has yet to provide an iTunes for Linux which would be so much easier!

I heard of an iTunes workalike for Linux just the other day...

It was on sourceforge, I think. A quick look shows:

That's a fact.
