In fact, how do you put videos on the iPod anyway? Is it only videos from iTunes or is it just any video you have on your hard drive? How big and at what resolution is the screen?

Is this going to create problems for the PSP?

works the same way mp3's work on it... drag and drop ones you have or ones you downloaded on itunes (or any program that supports ipod) and it puts em on there.

they've said it supports h.264 AVC mpg-4 and they suspect quicktime videos, that doesnt mean it wont support other formats, and even then what formats it uses could be updated.
however its fairly quick and easy to convert an avi or any video file into a type it reads.

Screen is 2.5 inches (diagonal) resolution on the video is 320 x 240 at a solid 30 fps.

The video iPod won’t disappoint. It feels slim and easy to hold even after two weeks spent with my nano. Video playback is solid. They’re not kidding about 30 fps without sputtering. You can’t fast forward, but you can scroll back and forth on a progress bar—just as you do with music—to jump forward and back in the video. Oh, and the black model is going to be hot. Without the U2 model’s red wheel it’s less of an acquired taste.
