Apple proves it is nothing if not cruel

I know a large number of people who were holding off buying the next generation of iPod, because of the rumors of a video iPod. They wanted the ability to bring movies with them on the go, and would rather NOT spend the cash on a separate (and less cool) PVP (personal video player) when they already knew they'd have an iPod along. Apple execs formally pooh-poohed the idea, saying that there was no demand for video and no infrastructure to support delivery of content for such a device. "There is no chance for a video iPod this year," they claimed.

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. Today they revealed an iPod that plays videos. To date, there appears to be no indication of true movies in your pocket. But music videos apparently are already for sale. Sigh. I am pretty sure my friends will not be happy that they decided to invest on Apple's word, just before Apple proved themselves to be liars. (And please do not tell me that their policy of "not commenting on forthcoming products" is a shield. They knew exactly what they were doing.)
