True to a degree, but if it can be made "Apple Simple"(tm) e.g stick a DVD in your computer, it asks you if you want to rip it, it rips it for a hour in an open format, keeps it in a library, and then you select which movies you want to transfer to your device. On your device you press the "Movies" button and you get a selection of movies on your device, you chose which one to watch.
This is similar to ripping CD's currently, and people seems to have managed to do this for a while now. If it was as simple as that then I don't see why it would not take off. I don't know why no PDA OEM has done this before. I'm sure its probably due to copyright issues. Maybe P1 will be the one to pull it off.
