Yeah, I don't want to spend money on it. I was thinking about it for  
my 10 year old daughter so when she drops it and smashes it to bits, I  
don't mind so much. I have an iPhone that plays back videos better  
than I even though possible in a palm-sized device and my 17 year old  
is saving up for his own iPod Touch or iPhone as soon as he pays his  
taxes. :)
