    Has Sony started permitting consumer UMD writers? So far, UMD is for games and the occasional commercially pressed video discs, there have been a few that were announced.



    I'm not buying the legal argument, unless the video devices that connect to Windows Media Center are illegal. That said, WMC involves PVR functionality, something that currently requires third party hardware and software to add to the Mac.



    While the iPod's hard drive is slow, file sizes wouldn't be so bad if transcoded to the display resolutions, but that won't look good on a TV. MPEG-2 transcoded to MPEG-4 would help a lot. Heck, Jobs was bragging that H.264 can scale down to video in cell phones resolutions. Why would the protocol designers scale make it down that far if no one is going to use it?
