Not that I would ever do such a thing ...

That's something I've wondered about as I've started seeing portable players that will play video too: where will the videos come from? Having toted a laptop and a holder of DVD on trips to the west coast, I certainly see the attraction of an integrated player, even if the screen is a little small. But not if I have to spend hours ripping stuff. Ah well, I'm sure it will improve as time goes on.
