Any thoughts on all the TV shows just released for the video iPod etc? Does this perhaps make the rumors of the media centre type imac mini more or less likely?

the current res isn't going to meet the standards, and the quality of the ACC formats is also really raising issues with people - 128bit i think is just to low now.
