>Yesterday my fiance wanted to watch a film on her ipod and had realised the process would involve converting files (size and movie type), getting it into itunes, and the 'syncing' which is a pain. There are apps that allow you to stream from your computer and play video files besides h.264. You just can't torrent unless you jailbreak. >(plus I really think Apple is earning bad rep over those patents lawsuits. Consumers do understand / appreciate choice, even Apple fanbois, and they view it as the evil act that it is even if they don't get all riled up over it) I don't think consumers are aware of this at all. I don't think they aware either about the recent controversies with Google which carries far more significance for them.
