    I don't really think it's worth it. I mean sure it sounds cool, but think about it... you will be watching videos on a very small screen and if you really wanted to watch a video why not just watch it on your computer or on TV or something else?

    He can always recharge it when he gets back from wherever he is going.


    Or you could buy an extra battery pack if you are concerened about battery life.

    I have one and the only problem I have with it is that you have to download a certain few programs to convert the files to what is needed for uploading.

    They are free programs but it's a tedious process.

    You can download videos from Apple's pay/download server and transfer it onto your ipod video, but i doubt thats what you're gonna do. Its free if you have your own video files, however it requires a few programs to convert it to the right format...only Mpg4 and something else (i forgot)...and battery life for watching videos is very short, some reported times as low as 30mins.
