MP3 Playerz

[Lemur]

I don't really understand the urge to play videos in my hand. A music player makes sense to me, a movie player less so. What's the benefit? I ask this seriously, 'cause I'm not understanding why everybody wants a movie player ...

-edit-

To explain my disconnect further:

• Can you watch movies while working out at the gym? No.
• Can you watch movies while driving? Not really.
• Can you watch movies on a subway? Bad idea, since you'd have to crank the volume up to ear-damaging levels.
• Can you watch movies at work? Very bad idea.

And most of the rest of the time you're in range of a computer or TV. So what's the big whup with a portable video player?
