This has been available for a while from a number of third-party vendors.
I can access my entire music library via Audiogalaxy.
For video, Plex works well and the server component of the desktop app will transcode on the fly.
You have to pay a few bucks for the iOS app, but thankfully it's a universal app, so you don't have to purchase twice (iPad and iPhone/iPod touch).
Yes, and SoundJam and a dozen other MP3 players existed before iTunes. So what's your point? It doesn't mean Apple shouldn't do this, and make it seamless with the OS, and with iTunes.
