Maybe I shouldn't have been so anxious to buy that iPod mini recently. According to Engadget, Apple has changed the iPod's trademark information to include the reading of "video files". Read what you want into the tweak but it's a logical and strategically important move for the iPod to maintain its dominance of the market. Call it the Moore's Law for the digital device sector. If you don't keep moving aggressively, the competition will catch up, force down prices and eventually marginalize you. For the ugly evidence of this reality, check out the history of the Sony Walkman. So how long do you think we'll have to wait before we see the iPod Video?
