I have an iPod Photo (60 GB) [4thGen] so, in comparison (in INCHES) are the screens on both the iPod I have and the new iPod Video (sorry, I don't know what to call it)?

Side by side the Video iPod's screen looks HUGE compared to the Photo iPod's. And of course I got my Photo iPod about six weeks before the Video iPod came out! I hate being that early!

We picked up a black 30g ipod at the San Antonio Apple store today. I even got my education discount which I wasn't sure you could do in store. The screen does look pretty big compared to my wife's ipod and much bigger than the nanos they had on display. I'm unpacking it right now.

I think the slimmer bezel on the edges of the vid ipod aids in its perception of being so giant.
