Why full up the iPhone's memory with a giant 1080 video file when the screen's resolution is much less? Unless you're going to create an Apple-to-HDMI cable and then allow the iPhone to connect to HD displays. THAT would be terrific -- take your HD movies on the go!
@Xeno: No, not really. Who the hell listens to FM radio? Now AM, where you can listen to ball games and the local traffic and weather, maybe. FM Top 40 laden radio, though? Who cares?
Eh, wouldn't be surprising. Also wouldn't be too fantastic. Unless they're coming out with a 1TB iPod, I'm *still* not all that interested in using a portable device to house all my high-def video.
@OCEntertainment: We're years away from that. 2.5" drives are just hitting 640/750 GB, and flash memory is still too expensive to even be considered.
With the 1.8" drive market slowing in favor of NAND memory, I don't forsee 1TB iPods(or whatever media player is popular then) for half a decade at least.
@Jesus Diaz: What if you have hard disk mode enabled? Perhaps they'll just access it that way? I mean, I'd prefer native support, but these hardware manufacturers are all sorts of sneaky.
All a blueray player does is lift the digital signal from the disc, process the signal and deliver it to the HDMI connection. Looking aside from some audio codec licensing, since digital components being cheap, then what is the quality difference from a 200$ and a 1000$ bd-player? I mean, it is all digital - its not like in the old days where to quality of the D/A converters made all the difference? Which components can you stuff in cabinet that makes it worth 1000$?
@mikkelfunck: proprietary processes and the related hardware. have you ever bought a DVD player at a grocery store? yeah, try that and you'll know why there is a difference.

I think the Zune HD has a better chance than any previous Zune of taking a bite out Apple, but all bets are off until the Rock 'n' Roll event is done.
