I would consider one. MacNN had a story a few weeks ago on it's release.
MacNN | ViewSonic ships LCD with iPod dock
I was considering making the purchase and later that day they changed it to coming soon. Now the price is $70 more.

I saw this on Engadget a while ago and there was some confusion about whether it actually would play videos from your iPod on the screen. I think they decided that it wouldn't -- it's really just a dock integrated into the monitor. But I'm not sure and the web site doesn't say one way or the other, which is odd.

it would suck a bit if the monitor could only be used as an ipod monitor... well, even if it did, someone would come up with a hack.

If you buy this monitor you will be buying iPod's for as long you have the monitor.
 or maybe

The iPod has video out through the dock connector, so it's theoretically possible for this to work, but isn't iPod video limited to something like 640X480 resolution? That would probably not look nearly as good as the picture from ViewSonic's web site implies. I think showing the same picture at such a high resolution on the monitor is misleading.

Ive got a none dock version of this and its great. Don't seen the point of the dock, but the extra usbs/card reader etc would be awesome. Wonder if they will sell the base separately? (AS IF)

Technically, it could simply be a photo, and you know how iTunes lets you copy full rez photos to your iPod.
So TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, Viewsonic isn't misleading anyone

Yeah, and TECHNICALLY everybody dies of "heart failure." Good, yet somewhat cynical point. I blame marketing (which is a handy thing to do since "marketing" is one of the seven horsemen and the devil's right hand fiend).
