Jobs: There's No Market for Portable Video

Apple head Steve Jobs has some interesting comments in a recent Time article regarding the future of portable digital video. 'There is no market today for portable video,' said Jobs. 'We’re going to sell millions of these to people who want to play their music, and video is going to come along for the ride.' "

I can see how Jobs might make such an assertion...video is the ultinate trump to audio, like audio is to the printed page, so by fully getting behind moving pictures, he's ostracize the base media upon which the iPod was built. Still, this came as a surprise to me, how he would seemingly neglect video's mobile potential.
