The latest rumors for the new (now improbable?) iPhone is that it will support HD video and have Apple TV-like behaviors. The upgrade to supporting HD video is a obvious upgrade to make. But the Apple TV behavior is very interesting.
What this could mean is that the iPhone or iPod Touch could act as a make-shift Apple TV. They envision plugging your iPhone into an Apple AV Dock connected to your HDTV. This would then be able to stream video over Wi-Fi from your computer's iTunes library. This added functionality would skip the time-consuming step of syncing HD videos to the device itself and replicate some of the behavior of the Apple TV.
