This device (an "AV-pod/iPodAV"?) would also serve as a "control center" for the miniAV. You would basically purchase content through the miniAV where you can watch it (DRM'd) on your set, or you could transfer it wirelessly to your AVpod for portable consumption. Apple hates to say 'PDA,' but this device could provide that functionality as well. That's my guaranteed 99.872% accurate prediction.
