I get that the iPad might be made to play mythtv video (If anyone should know I expect JYA would) - but it only has a 1024x768 resolution (786,432 pixels that are not all used in widescreen ~ 589,824 16:9 pixels available) screen, so why would I want to play 720p or 1080i on it - and lose all that detail?<br>

I agree it might be a nice large remote control for mythtv (for the visually impaired? = Oxymoron!), but does it add anything over mythdroid on a N1? (384,000 pixels) <br></blockquote><div> <br>Not everything is HD. And 589,000 is still a lot more than 384,000. 720p
is only 921,000 so you're not losing that much detail. I can't imagine anyone is likely to buy an iPad purely as a frontend but if you're getting one anyway why not use it to view video when a TV is not convenient?<br>
