I think the question is NOT if iPods can store info, since it IS a firewire external hard drive, no matter what model you have, but if that same iPod can actually VIEW the files that is downloaded on it, such as video or photo files.<br>
It's ONE thing to use it as a backup storage drive, it's another to actually USE the iPod for viewing. The exciting aspect of the color version, is that IT CAN download and view photos, and since that is true, there is no reason to assume that it cannot also view movies in quicktime.<br>
I'm no expert, but that would be the FIRST thing I would attempt when my color iPod arrives.<br>

I plan on using it for backup/transfer of files on our school computer. It would be nice though, but it would need software to view the video files. I think the iPod Photo has built-in software to view the pictures, just like it has the software to play music.<br>

We'll have to wait and see.<br>
