But as you say, the industry would have to lighten up and come into the 21st century. It sounds like a profitable idea.

Something that makes so much sense how can we ignore this? Very valid, salient points that do not come across as bitching, pissing or moaning I love hearing such ideas that are so forward thinking.

The PSP is an amazing device (sorry it still beats the iPod screen) but try finding one indie filmmaker getting his stuff out at a small profit for ads and its currently very difficult. Same with all your podcasts folks where 99% suck and 1% are great the great can't even make a penny on their revolutionary ad model because no one is picking up the idea. Mark - buy up some vidcast/podcast ads + kickstart a new ad buying model :-) The only time the fuddy duddy's will listen is when the model of making a few bucks reverses itself and make sense and kicks the middleman in the nuts.

Its always downloading a buncha shows that I might like based on my viewing habits. How cool would it be to plug in the Ipod and have it suck down a suck down a buncha songs or videos that I might like based on my recent listening and purchase habits. This is a no brainer.

This is Apple's fault for not trying hard enough, not the recording industry's. Fact is, Microsoft’s Portable Media Centers come preloaded with music, tv and movies.

It's odd to me that they don't do the same for at least the 5th generation iPod with Video capacity. It's true that artists need to get paid whenever your commercial airs with their song in it, but there are a lot of commercial with no record-industry songs, no? As Jon Beer points out, this blows out an entirely new advertistment environment. Ipods, PSP and other video devices are perfect for marketing films like "The Hire" series by BMW. You probably wouldn't have Walmart commercials running alongside independent shorts just yet, but perhaps the day is coming. Speaking of which, the whole "preload music for sampling" would be too much too complicated for Apple's taste, at least in terms of putting them in the iPod. i don't see Steve Jobs agreeing to it at all. Sure it'd be a wonderful way for people to sample new music, but iTunes Music Store is already doing a relatively good job in there. Let's imagine a senario: If a track is pre-loaded onto my iPod which is set to shuffle mode. I'm driving, and the pre-loaded song comes up randomly. I'm too busy to skip it, and iPod recorded my playing it. ITMS charges me because of the play, assuming that I like the song and would like to keep it. It's a fessible idea, but a lot of details need to be ironed out. I doubt that Steve Jobs would jump at the idea because it won't help him sell more iPods. my 2 cents.
