If you download lots of media, you can carry it around and show your friends. Also you can connect it to your friends tv in a snap. Yeah you could burn it to a dvd and use a dvd player, but that requires rencoding with a motly collection of software and a lot of cpu time. These things are better than dvds because they can play a wide variety of formats (which are upgradable), plus they are portable.
Well unlike an ipod it plays video as well and audio. I personally can't wait until these type of devices become affordable to people like me. My personal favorite of this type is the Archos 400 which can also record video as well.
From my experience, none of the windows emulation pakcakes ever works smoothly. You end up having to perfom bad "hacks", and live with partial functionality, which runs slowly and the whole time you have to live in dread of the inevitable memory leak crash.
wait, nevermind, that is almost exactly like using a windows app on windows.
If someone threats to sue someone or asks for a settlement, that someone should be able to call "bullshit". And if they can't prove their case in a court of law, they must pay fines. I know one can countersue, but they actually have to sue you first.

Which is worse people wasting their time having fun or people wasting their time complaining about how others waste thier time.
