The in-car DVD solution is what makes me think that the people are ready for portable video players. The personal DVD players that cost about $100 aren't the true indicator, but it's a start. The in-car solution that costs whatever (device price plus installation) is a better indicator because people are willing to spend all that money for something that will only be used in the car (and not by the driver when the vehicle's in motion.)
A hard-drive based video player that can be played anywhere is the next big thing (and we all know how Steve Jobs feels about those.) I expect them to create a digital distribution system in the iTunes model, to create an iPod with a bigger screen (a given) and keep their competitors scrambling.
