It's quite a bit more expensive than an Ipod, but the tv functionality makes it more than worth the difference.

I love how Apple is taking advantage of dumb consumers by offering a 2GB Nano/Mini for $199 while the 20GB version is $299. I guess people are willing to pay more for less space/functionality just because it's smaller.
Yeah. That said, they could have gone all out and done a whole screen and made the click wheel a touch screen application that can be called up with a button, therefore creating a bigger screen for videos.
