Apple iPod: Media hub?

This article on CNN.com caught my attention early today. In essence, analysts believe that the iPod will become a media storage hub for music, photos, TV shows, and movies. Well, the new video-enabled iPod already has that capability, but the new estimates suggest that iPods will hold a terabyte of storage within five years.

Hopefully, if this is true (which is thoroughly plausible, I believe), the screen will be larger than the one the current iPod has. As well, something will have to be done about the on-screen resolution of the video files being offered through iTunes, which currently sits at 320x240 pixels -- good enough for the iPod, but not so great when viewed on a computer or TV screen.
