donatos - yep, we're late to the party when it comes to iPod like PJBs IMO... We'll have to do something creative with em like dock em onto an auto/home unit make em wireless, allow preselleted preloading or put the technology into video units for consumer use in ways similar to IFEs.

Not saying a few Asian scripted Odyssey's wouldn't be nice.
