With an adapter from Apple I am able to download a movie from iTunes( $.99 and up rental cost) to my iPod touch. The adapter hooks up to the iPod and to my TV’s component input. Movies plays, no adjustment or setting changes necessary. Very slick.
I don’t run the risk of a mishandled and scratched DVD from Redbox.
That is convenient, but some people probably want to watch it on a bigger screen. (How big is the touch screen?)
