A lot of folks ask why video, particuliarly when our Neuros heritage is portable audio and clearly those are two different markets. An unexpected artifact of portable video that I have a great deal of passion about it sharing home video. I happen to travel to China a lot and meet with a lot of new people from accross the globe, and there's nothing that bridges cultural gaps like portable video. I have video of my Uncle's farm in rural Wisconsin, video of my daughter singing, of our house, of my apartment in China. These are things that I never would share were it not for the 442. I carry it with me most everywhere, not just to watch movies, but to share them. The below picture is a good example, I was at a diner in Shenzhen China showing a couple of the waitresses a video of my daughter. I've had situations where crowds of people gathered around me to watch a video I was showing.

I've seen video of fire dancers taken at parties by some of the younger guys in the office and videos taken from digital cameras of vacations, etc. With many digital cameras and cell phones beginning to be capable of taking reasonable quality video, you'll start seeing more and more of this.

There has been a lot written about the social impact of the MP3 player on society, particuliarly the iPod, and less so about the impact of the portable video player (and most of that about how it continues to isolate people from one another). I believe that ten years from now, sharing video on a handheld will be as common as wallet full of family pictures was twenty years ago, and you'll find people bridging cultural gaps with portable devices in ways that have a bigger social impact than the audio players ever dreamed of.
