I wonder if they're thinking it wont be quite so necessary for the next one.

You're always the optimist.. But you may be right on this one. The omap3-based next device should be able to just play anything, auto-downscaling on the fly (as my Palm PDA can actually do, with the tcpmp application).

The hardware (and most of the relevant software) is available, try it for yourself.

Let's just hope Nokia don't go all spastic on the lcd controller.

Why hope? There's a valid reason they did it on the OMAP1 and OMAP2 hardware, but the built-in controller on the OMAP3 supports way more than we need (1024x768) so there'd be absolutely no reason to do it now (unless they need a reason to arbitrarily increase costs and complexity).

Vuze (formerly Azureus), the gorilla of torrenting, supports exporting a video to a target device. While it doesn't support the Nokia tablets right now it potentially is able to support such devices. Why have different tools for different devices if one program can export to many devices?

Umm, because small, efficient, task oriented applications are the unix way ? As for a 'smart converter' that knows about NITs, it just happens that I wrote a converter front-end which is a bit more than a front end (think kioslaves input, output device autodetection, live conversion preview). I know, video converters - a dime a dozen, but I had an itch to scratch and qt skills to brush up. In a few days, it will be shared with the general public. So, shed no tear for tablet video converter, there are plenty more than capable tools for the task.

That's an entire bugzilla "product" going WONTFIX...

Indeed, and some don't even require booting a closed OS to run them.
