Apple's hugely popular iPod digital music device could be in for another makeover this time as a highly anti-cipated unit that plays both audio and video. In the meantime, Archos announced yesterday -- available in 30, 60 and 100 GB versions -- the new AV500 which sports a 4-inch colour widescreen display and not only plays back media - it records it as well.

Downloading full movies might be a bit overkill. Big in sizes, hard to negotiate rights. And you don't want to watch a 1 h 30 Hollywood movie during your 30 minute bus trip I guess.
iTunes+iPod is a pretty decent system for listening to podcasts. If iTunes supported videoblogs then it might make it a more popular things. I currently use DTV on mac to watch vBlogs. Some like Rocketboom are already quite successful and I watch it more often than I watch TV. It could be something pretty big.
Archos Players are nice (supposedly?) but where is the content? Having a simple solution to organize, purchase, share content is what people are looking for.
I don't want to spend hours downloading clips here and there and then trying to convert them to the right format. It's an interesting experience but you don't want to do that daily. I want my computer to download nice clips (vBlogs, comedy sketches) and sync them on my vIpod.
