I ordered it the day after it was released, and am still waiting. Meanwhile I have been converting videos to put on it. It can play regular mp4 video, but the format Apple is using and promoting is encoded with h.264 (I think it is also called mpeg4/mp4 version 10, not too sure), which I wasn't previously familiar with. It looks great when played, really clear, and the bonus is that the file size is significantly reduced. I encoded a 242MB video clip to the h.264 codec, and the output file was 107MB ! plus it looked even better than the original.
Anyway, I'm really excited about the 5th gen iPod withvideo, what do you guys think?

what do you mean too bad? what if someone just wanted a slimline mp3? and the price should be taken into hand aswell. Im still getting a mini because of the cheap price, and its a good size for me, not too small, not too big, but im sure ill get bored of the black and white screen quick... but then again its music, so itll be in my pocket..

I knew id cause controversy by saying that. I just mean, people always want to have the latest gadgets etc and the nano was released before the new one was even anounced. I just think this is unfair as people may have wanted the latest Ipod but now they have the nano, there is already a newer version being released.

@hotcha
When did you order yours, and have you had any info on when you'll get it? I ordered mine immediately after the announcement (12th Oct.), and my info says it'll ship on 24th Oct + 3-9 business days shipping... Which is frankly laughable, as I have seen on ipod forums that some people have already received them (in UK), and that Apple Regent Street will have them this weekend. It really is s**t customer service by Apple, as they told me the quickest way to get the ipod was by web-order, and now it turns out I could have saved the trouble and just gone to the Apple shop. The way it looks now, I may not get it until well into November.
