It'll play them, but if you want a better screen, more flexible player, look at the alternatives first.
Cowon A2 (the king of PMP's currently as far as I'm concerned ... it's what I ended up buying)
Archos AV series
Zen Vision:M
Iubi Blue (very new so the firmware is still a bit buggy but looks very promising and prices in the UK are very competative)
or you could try and get hold of a Viliv P2 .... dunno if they are available in the UK yet though (or anywhere else for that matter ... lol).
For video, there are FAR better players out there than an iPod.
If nothing else, with the iPod, unless you plan on using iTunes (when they eventually make video content available on any sort of decent scale) you'll spend half your life converting video into a format it likes .....
