As a PSP owner I can tell you that NOTHING looks smudgy or nondescript on its screen. The screen is much larger than on any gameboy, and is clear with high contrast and quality PS2 level graphics. People I have shown Ridge Racer to are blown away by the graphic and screen quality. My 20 year old girlfriend is always playing Lumines (which also has crisp, clear, awesome graphics) on my PSP. My girlfriends mom saw my PSP playing a demo movie and said that she would buy one when they came out here just to watch movies on, and she's 50. All of my co-workers love it and have professed their intention to buy it.
Go see a demo. This thing will sell to the technology oriented, the new generation of video game users you speak of, and many others as well.

I would have to say my least favorite to deal with is milk
It works, and they use MPEG4 H.264. I've done it myself and it's fairly easy. I put the FFVII AC trailer on it. :-D
Or I could load movies I rip from DVD onto a memory stick for her.
