iPod for video?

There's speculation that Apple will announce a video version of its popular bathroom-styled iPod handheld MP3 player at the MacWorld show. However, since a 20GB iPod costs £400, it is unlikely to be cheap. Archos was first with a disk-based MP3 player and first with a multimedia version, and the 20GB MPEG4-playing Jukebox Multimedia 20 costs £390. (Plus, you have to add £31.14 for the fast USB2.0 interface cable.) The 20GB Archos MP3 player is £270, so if Apple keeps the ratios about the same, the 20GB iPod video player should cost £575. However, £598.99 or more won't be a surprise, especially if it has a decent-sized colour LCD screen.
