Video changed the AAC store.

The iPod Photo, combined with iTunes, can give you tiny colour pictures of the artist or album to look at while you listen to a song in AAC format that you've bought from Apple's online music store. That hardly seems worth it.

This iPod may not be suited to watching hours-long cinema, but if you do want to watch something for three minutes or so while listening to a song you've bought... iTunes should also sell pop videos for playing on the iPod Photo.

(Having said this, I don't like iTunes and I don't own an iPod. But I did get into the habit of buying CD singles also containing digital video, because that content is unrestricted by digital rights management.)
