None of this makes no sense to me.   Something isnt adding up.

'eliminate the iPod from my pocket and give me fullframe video'
Stated facts, 5 hours talk time, 16 hours music (and they wont state
standby)  Lets say you spend an hour on the phone, 2 hours surfing
over 802.11 (more power hungry).  Thats almost 100% of your charge
gone.  Will you risk listening to music on the chance you'll run it
flat before you get home?

As for video?  Steve Job's was on record saying there's no valid case
(scenario) for portable video usage.  The iPod video was created to
appease shareholders from what I understand.  Decoding DRM'd video
will eat battery more than anything else.  A non-starter.

Yes this is all tied together in a slick UI but its still a
feature-list-sell.  From a pure 'experience' perspective this device
is tons of 'cool' but not all that practical (yet)
