I'm so with Gavin on this. As cool as it would be to have MPEG, PDF
would be a hell of a lot more useful. Basically, while I support MPEG, I
can actually see myself using PDF. With MPEG, it'd basically be like:
neat, but I'm not going to use it. The Newt isn't really a platform
you're going to watch movies on as much more of a novelty - 16 greys at
best, not to mention limited storage options. Plus issues with seriously
huge packages (this would not be a problem if cross platform filesystem
drivers were created).
