jkOnTheRun Audio Edition #23 - iTunes Movies on a UMPC

Watch jkOnTheRun Audio Edition #23 here (WMV format, 640 x 480, 60.6 MB, 11:02 minutes)

With the new Apple announcements today, it became apparent to me that the new iTunes Movies would be a nice marriage of Microsoft Windows based hardware and Apple software. I decided to download both iTunes 7 as well as a movie. Initial thoughts:

• 640 x 480 resolution is pretty solid on a UMPC device
• The new iTunes interface is very slick and usable
• Audio quality of the movies is very good
• People have to realize we're taking evolutionary steps towards downloadable high-def content; this was the next evolutionary step due to bandwidth and infancy of the high-def display market which is just now coming of age.
• I'd prefer to watch a downloaded VGA movie on a UMPC as opposed to carrying an optical drive and packaged content.

I'm slighly confused with the resolution. Since the movie resolution is 640x480, when you go full screen shouldn't the vertical 480 match the 480 of the UMPC? I'm guessing that since the movie shown was still in the 16:9 format and it was sent in VGA, the pixels of the movie are not square and you are probably better matching the 640 horizontal and squish the 480 into 360 pixels. Or could it be that the movie is actually at 640x360? And that the 640x480 is a maximum resolution? I'm just asking, and just trying to understand a 16:9 movie saved into a 4:3 resolution.
