see my post a few above yours. as i explained, you
can put movies and shows onto SD cards and import them using the camera kit.
for more information see
this article over on TidBITS.
@richman, me personally. no. i would not like a larger screen as a larger screen means a larger device. the iPad (for me) is the perfect size to carry or throw in a backpack to lug along. it's fine for reading a page of text or a web site on. pinch and stretch works fine for zooming in if i need to see detail or an overall view. the full size of the ipad is slightly smaller than a sheet of paper. if you add a case it gets a little bit larger. but it's still small enough to nestle in between a stack of reports and papers in my backpack (which add extra protection). if it were a full page size, then with case it would be larger. it might not fit as well in my backpack and it would stick out in between those reports. if the screen were full page sized, even more awkward.
engadget did a report of the JooJoo, which has a huge screen, one of their complaints, awkward to handle, too large.
with the device in hand, and scrolling, panning, pinching and stretching so close at and and easy to do, i don't see a need for a larger screen.
hell, it's larger than my original mac had at 512x384! certainly better than the CRT's i used in the 70's. and you'd be surprised the difference of an extra 168 pixels makes over my 1024x600 netbook's screen, and 1024x768 is still one of the
dominant screen resolutions
