Personally, I don't like this change.

I don't think that the picture gallery is useless, but a good feature especially for a travler. For example if someone went to Europe for a couple of weeks, and took a bunch of pictures, but couldn't store all of there photos on their CF card, an iPod would be a great addition to dump the photos on until you get to a computer. You can already do this on a 3g and 4g iPod, but now you can actually see the pictures now. What is really disappointing is that they didn't include a multi-card reader or a link directly from the camera to the iPod. You must buy them separately from Belkin. But I am betting that they will include something in the next release.

As for video, Steve Jobs already said that they will probably never integrate video for two main reasons.
1. The small screen
2. Copyright issues: Now granted there are many ways to get a DVD to a video file, but the MPAA doesn't like users ripping DVDs. And they shot down a company trying to sell one.
