One of the reason I do not even think about iPhone is the media part, I just do not buy the idea of limited media type/stream. With the great iPhone screen and form factor, user should be able to enjoy media stream anywhere, anytime, any type.
And now the well known vid player, the VLC was finally been ported to iPhone!
