It's funny how this news has got way worse feedback than the other where there is video, just because some of you don't seem to realize you can use the main screen for video playback via Tegra... :) The 12 hours is for video being played back on the MAIN display, not the 4.3" display. This is COMPLETELY different from having a PMP and a Laptop, where you have low battery life on your Laptop and low screen size on your PMP. Here you've got the best of both worlds.
The only likely catch is how do you transfer the movies to the Tegra, and how much if any transcoding will be required. Either way this technology is moving in the next 18 months towards being able to play everything, including Blu-rays, natively - so even if transcoding was required this generation, that'd only be a very temporary problem.
