What impact will the Next Ipod have on gaming?

I don't think I'd be using an Ipod to play games, simply because I have other handheld game systems which are dedicated to doing just that. But the other problem is, how long is it going to last? Music doesn't eat much in the way of batteries (hence why the MP3 players with batteries often last a long time), but playing a game on it, where the system's going to be draining a ton of power, I can't see it lasting a long time (without being expensive anyway).

It's kind of like the N-Gage. Not many people bought it cause it doesn't last too long when playing games (aside from other problems, like looking like talking into a taco when using it, and crappy games). While it'll be a nice gimmick, and I'm sure some people will buy it for that reason, I don't think it'll do too well.

On a similiar note, how many people do you know watch movie trailers and commercials on their Ipods? Nice gimmick, but unless I can watch a whole movie or tv show, I'm not interested in paying to watch essentially commercials).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
