I know what you mean. I got an Ipod Video last year, and I kinda regretted it. The videos kill the battery on that thing extremely fast. I would have been happy with just a regular ol' Ipod, but unfortunately, they don't sell those anymore.
That's another one of their gimmicks. Come up with a new product, get rid of the old one, therefore causing anyone who wanted the original to buy the new, more expensive one, and ultimately make more money.
