So, SlySoft users: Can the apps handle decent, easy output for Pocket PC? For PSP? For Zune? Also, with the new PSP Slim having video output, and the Zune still having video output, can you select an output resolution -- 720 x 480 -- that will look good on both the mobile device and the big screen, or are you stuck with the device's native resolution?

First off, you won't be spending a 'substantial' amount of time downloading and testing the programs. They download quick and are even quicker to learn and use. And the demo version is fully-functional. I downloaded the demo, ripped my first DVD and pretty much immediately bought the registration keys. It was that convincing that fast.
As for your other questions... Yes, it handles easy output for PPC, PSP and Zune. You simply select what resolution you want the final rip to be (it automatically handles the aspect ratio, so it knows when you're trying to rip a 16:9 or a 4:3 DVD) and click Go. As for outputting to a TV, yes it will certainly give you a good rip, provided your device can output that resolution to a TV. The Zune, for example, does not output to a TV in full 720x480 resolution. You're stuck with the resolution it converts the file to. If you're using an Archos (or other less restrictive) product that can handle 720x480 files natively, you'll have no problem.
I highly recommend these products for someone who doesn't want to spend all their spare time manually ripping DVDs. But hey, don't take my word for it, just try them this weekend. I pretty much guarantee you won't be disappointed.
