Apple has set its sights on conquering the world of portable video with the launch of a sound and vision version of its iconic iPod.
It is looking to build on the success of its digital music player, having sold 28 million music-playing iPods since 2001.
"Because millions of people around the world will buy this new iPod to play music, it will quickly become the most popular portable video player in history," said Apple boss Steve Jobs at the launch of the device.
But the computer maker is coming late to the world of video on the go. There are several media players available from Microsoft and its hardware partners, as well as gadgets from rivals Creative and Archos.
