Video iPods, XBox360 the Tech Revolution
How Apple's Video iPod Creates a Revolution in TV viewership
Now more people from most industries are paying attention to Steve Jobs. Apple's CEO commands respect with his releases of iTunes, iPods, iPod Nano, Video iPods. He is responsible for making Windows and RealNetworks agree to work together now, at least through a recent merger. Bill Gates is paying attention. So are the rich tech moguls of the Silicon Valley, Wall Street and elsewhere. This guy has a few tricks under his sleeves. He shocks the technology world with some nifty gadgets every now and then. Way before Microsoft has the chance to release their XBox 360 or 360 xBox, Video iPod was released and quickly becomes the darling, the top Christmas gift that most kids and parents are waiting for this year. Any time is a good time to shop at iTunes which announced a contract to start selling ABC's hot programs such as Desperate Housewives and Lost on the video iPod. For $1.99, you can see your favorite program you missed. TiVo is getting on the game. Delayed viewership is something hot right now.

Tiny video iPods caused CBS and NBC to announce that they start selling replays of their popular shows on an on-demand basis through Comcast and DirecTV respectively. All of a sudden, the appeal of portable TV is spreading like wild fire. Soon, people will feel comfortable watching TV on iPods, computers and cell phones or any other device yet to be released. Already, we have VH1 with VSpot stream, MTV overdrive, TurboNic and Comedy Central's Motherload. NBC starts offering a same-night replay of "Nightly News" online. It is the first U.S. network news broadcast to go this far. This just shows the appeal of the Internet. Everybody is gravitating towards it. The Food Network also has a Web-only series. So does HGTV which has "My First Place" which is a series about young people moving into their own homes. Even PBS gets into the action with NerdTV, a series about high-tech pioneers, available on the Web only. AOL will show old TV programming.
Long live iPods! Viva iPods! Now you can watch your show whenever you want to. You can do it anywhere you want to.
