No Widescreen iPod Announced today

Man am I bummed...I thought for sure we would see a widescreen iPod today...especially with the announcement of movies (Disney) now being available in iTunes (widescreen format btw).

They even upgraded the resolution of TV shows to 640x480 up from 320x240...almost to DVD quality (720x480).

But they did improve on the iPod to make it easier to watch video by increasing the brightness that one can allow... a bigger choice 80 GB instead of 60GB ... a 24 hour battery...Games available for 5G iPods.

But still they foregone with the widescreen feature...I've been holding out and will continue to hold out.

I thought the Zune, Microsofts new portable entertainment system would be my new system...but it won't do video so it's not even a choice now.  But they have a widescreen! wtf?

Oh well...when the next major annoucement?  January? MacWorld?

I think you're not alone in being disappointed about the widescreen ipods: http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/866.html
