The iPod mini line will not play video(There is no demand for the mini to do video). that would kinda take away from the whole "move up to an iPod" way of thinking.

I see the iPod mini line to stay the same for a long while(no color, no video) till flash memory gets to 10-20GB(and be cheap enough to put in a mini) and battery life and demand for the smaller iPod to do what the bigger iPod can do.

Stop thinking too big, it's what the shuffle smack some of us dreamers down a notch.

I believe Apple learn from the Photo mistake and they won't have a seperate iPod video line. But there will be a 120GB iPod that will look different then the other iPods(16:9 screen) to take advantage of it's larger HD(perhaps QT7 HD?).

Of course that will have the same luck as the Photo line did(Maybe, who knows? Maybe people will like the idea of this, but don't expect it to be less then $400)
