Loading Multiple iPods

[danoand]

Working with a client who is providing video iPods to their sales team. Each iPod will be loaded with video content specifically created to be used by the sales rep in their sales call with a customer.

The issue: need to "pre-load" each video iPod with the content so sales reps can hit the ground running (as opposed to syncing/loading themselves).

Any ideas on how to load a large number of iPods (~200) with a set of digital content (~30 video clips of 2-3 minutes each). Need a process that can load multiple iPods concurrently.

No copyright issues as content is being created custom and owned by the client. As with most projects, the timeline to load the content will be aggressive as the video content creation and approval process will take the bulk of the time.

Any ideas?

How about 10 students (at $7/hour) each with a Mac?
I don't know how long it takes to load your 90 minutes of video onto an iPod, but let's say it takes 15 minutes for each iPod.
Then the 10 students can do 40 per hour, so your 200 iPods will be loaded in 5 hours.
Supply them with free donuts & drinks.
Total cost: 10 x 5 x $7 + cost of food < $500
