Apple's 30/80GB iPod video Play Hollywood Movies

The Apple's "It's Showtime" Special Event also brought us an updated iPod video. Informally designated version 5.5, the new duo in 30GB & 80GB are considered to be just a somewhat disappointing upgrade with all the hype surrounding a touch-sensitive wide-screen iPod and movie download service. Though, the latter did materialize with debut of iTunes 7.0's movies. The $249 30GB, even with the same features size, receives a better screen (25% brighter than its predecessor), better battery (3.5 hrs instead of 2), and a much needed $50 price drop.
