We are arguing that because "9 Ipod Videos" could imply 9 videos for the ipod, if you want to describe that a store for example is giving away 9 of the new ipod video product they should say "9 ipod video" instead of "9ipod videos"..... whats rigth grammatically.

I think its "ipod videos" even though that may be confusing, but i'm looking for the grammatical rule that should clearly rule in this case, knowing that apple called the product "iPod Video" and that is the noun, (or proper noun - im not sure).... So whats the rule.....Anybody a grammer master???? :o)

That is a toughie. You're right, 9 Ipod videos does imply 9 videos. Try this. 9 Video Ipods! It make things a little easier. That just means you don't have to argue of the grammar behind it~

It would be 9 Video iPods, cuz that says that Video is a type of the ipod.

9 Ipod videos is correct because there are 9 videos :)

that is a context sensitive phrase. if you are talking about the actual videos or the iPod ... "videos" would be correct.
However to alleviate confusion, i would just call them video iPods .... and the actual video as iPod video (or video iPod video)
its prolly no the right way to say it but oh well ... my two cents!

"the company is giving away 9 such ipod video" is correct.
