Craig, you're missing the cutting edge of iPod (and other similar 
devices) - Podcasting.

Faced with licensing issues, people are creating content - both music 
and spoken word - and distributing it.  Programs like "iPodder" automate 
retrieval of programs.  Programs like former MTV VJ Adam Curry's "Daily 
Source Code" - with high production value - to unsigned bands pressing 
record on their MP3 player/recorder are finding audiences.

Television stations are even recording their news (audio) and making it 
available on the internet.

The radio industry is seeing the change.

Video versions of the iPod are out there now and file sharing networks 
are passing programming and movies around (albeit illegal).  Legal video 
content providers won't be far behind, just as they are appearing at a 
rate to 10 to 20 a day now for audio services.
