I don't know if Apple would do this - wouldn't it cannibalize their AppleTV market to some extent?

@kaubuchon: No, I don't think it would.

Anyone who wants to use this functionality already owns an iPod, and since people would buy an iPod anyway, it doesn't really cannibalize. At the same time, the AppleTV is far more capable than an iPod is as a set top box, not to mention allows you full control without having to walk up to it and poke at the controls like the iPod.

How would this make AppleTV obsolete? Last I checked the iPhone can only hold 16GB whereas AppleTV gets up to 160GB...therefore you would HAVE to have AppleTV if you wanted to stream anything more than just a couple of videos.

@mms1648: Because you can stream the data live over wireless from a drive share/itunes library on another machine...

@I heart cake farts: You mean beyond the fact that Apple now offers HD movies to purchase/rent in iTunes? Or simply a normal evolutionary step that many manufacturers are starting to make?

Microsoft isn't exactly known for innovation these days.
