don't be jealous...
I did indeed get myself a beautiful new iPod. It's sitting in front of me as I type, and it is all lines of sleek white beauty. It is lovely. Unfortunately, being an early adopter means that I can't actually take it out yet because I don't have a proper case for it, and I couldn't bear to have it get scratched. The iPod is a very satisfying gadget. It does just what it says on the tin. It plays music, brilliantly, and it plays movies. As a movie player it is surprisingly good. The 2.5cm screen is pin sharp and very easy to watch. I have already begun to download a collect of movies to take on holiday with me. One of the best features is that the movies, and photos too, can easily be played through a full-size TV. The picture is not the greatest in the world because these are 320x240 movies blown up to fit, but they are very watchable. I've seen it compared to ordinary VHS quality. I think it is a little bit less than that myself, but very good all the same. Have I mentioned that my iPod is beautiful?

Why do you want to take movies to watch on holiday? You could stay at home and do that (and on a nice lcd HD tv too...).
I guess the answer is simply "because I can"?

Without sounding too strange, we don't do a lot of nightlife stuff when we are on holiday and we tend to be back in our rooms by 9pm. We are usually so knackered that we are asleep an hour or so later. I sometimes long for the chance to watch a little bit of something on TV in English, that isn't MTV, before I go to sleep. This will be great for that.

Each to there own. I never miss TV when we're away - there's usually a TV in the room and it never gets turned on. We sometimes go to the cinema abroad, but more for the experience than cos we really want to see a film.
