Get a cheap macmini - it'll work far better and be able to play hidef content. Just copy over your Divxs or whatever, or stick em on a USB drive, and it'll play them - plus as it's a computer, it's a business asset - so no tax.

I do have one...
What the heck is a standard movie?
You do have to use iTunes for the synchronisation to work, and to put movies onto it.
You can load it with mpeg4 encoded media. Any media I do not have in this format I convert, no big deal really I'd rather have all my media in one format.
once it's loaded the PC does not have to be powered on, that even allows you to watch the latest movie trailers.
The only grumble is connecting it to a display. If you don't have an HD display with HDMI socket forget it. Apple have not considered people with composite only TV, they assumed the world uses component (as they do in the US). You can get convertors but they are expensive. £100 perhaps.
One good alternative is the media caddy from Maplin, does more or less all of the above a few more movie formats and costs £35 (hard drive not included).
