Look for the iPod Editions next to the regular DVD editions on the VIDEO page.

Now you can get trained ANYWHERE!...on the airplane, at the job site, while waiting in line at the grocery store.

Can you actually see anything on that small screen? We wondered the same thing, so we tested it in the field, and yes, you can see the details amazingly well. The iPod screen is VERY sharp and clear and we had no problem seeing anything. We love it!
