Makes you think of foreground and background:
– listening to music – background
– watching video – foreground
But, video could use help by being more protable. And that’s what the iPod does.

The question of the hour is if one could be expected to sit and watch 45 minutes of video on the iPod’s LCD. My answer to that question is "yes" with one caveat. I walk to work and today I tried watching some video on my commute.
Result: disastrous.
I nearly ran into several people and almost injured myself in an accident involving those rows of news paper stands. My recommendation would be to enjoy these video treats on the safety of a bus or train, and please refrain from catching up on your favorite episodes on the walk to work. I would go far as to extend that warning to car commuters as well. Remember kids, friends don’t let friends use their video iPod while driving.
That’s the problem I see with Visual Radio… bringing radio to the foreground, there’s a user experience problem there. However, the interactivity benefits may compensate. Not sure.
