Apple, iPod Video and Steve Jobs

There are two things I need to write about. One is the iPod video. Though there isn't the "whoa!!!" factor with this launch as most of us who care and are aware of Apple Inc. knew that it was coming. There was that "whoa!!!" factor about the Nano, I must say. That thing is so small just like S. Jobs put it
"It's really small!" One of my colleagues actually bought the Nano and it just blew me away when I first saw it. It’s really thin. Infact I think the width of the headphone jack may have kept it from being any thinner. I must say it looks delicate and if it were any thinner that it would actually bend if you kept it in your pocket.
Now about the iPod Video. It’s awesome. If I were living in US I would have bought it. Apple has replaced the bigger iPods with this one. Smart move I must say. The thing is that if you want a new iPod, it now will be a video one by default at the same price. It still does what it does best, but it can play video. Though there are some people who say that why the hell would I like to watch a video on a 2.5-inch screen. Well let me say this. Suppose you are traveling and there is nothing to do. You have your iPod. It plays music, but it also happened to have the video of the song. Wouldn’t you watch it? Next scenario: you missed the last episode of your favourite show. You have sometime before you begin your travel that is boring all the way. You may want to download that episode and watch it while you travel. Makes sense to me. Another thing is that I always wished there were videos of live performances of my favourite band. If there was the live performance of Queen Live At Wembley. I would buy all the videos. I have never seen them on any music channels. Same with videos of U2, Iron maiden. What about you? Won’t you buy the videos of live performances of your favourite band. So when you think about the huge subscribers of iTunes, I am pretty sure there is a market there. No one thought people would buy 1 billion songs from iTunes, now were there?
Now the next point is the actual presentation that Steve Jobs made. I saw it thanks to Zdnet. And I was impressed. That guy is GOOD! I had heard about his people skills and yesterday I saw it. The way he can capture audiences is amazing. The way he can sell is even more amazing. I like the part were he was referring to Disney, I quote ‘I know these guys’. I also managed the find the clip where he introduces the Nano. Remember that part where he refers to the small jeans pocket and said that he always wondered what it held and then he pulls out the Nano out of it.
Steve Jobs: Master presenter. He makes the key note speeches look so easy. Ah and one more incident that I would like to remind, the part during the demo of the new iMac mini, where he puts his remote between the remotes for the media center developed by both MS and gateway.
