Re: The only reason Apple made a video iPod is the idea comes basically for free
The video feature is not free. There is an extra Broadcom chip for video in the iPod. My guess it is in the $5-10 range. IIRC, in the last quarter Apple sold about 4M ipods (HD based). So, this "free" feature is costing Apple $20M - $40M per quarter.
