I am not sure why everything that Apple seems to be doing needs to be the best in this particular area (which Apple has never been a major player in). The dominant marketshare in this segment belongs to the Flip. You will be better off comparing this with the Flip.
By the way, I am not sure what damage you are referring to in the frame-to-frame motion. I have personally experienced none. Of course, if you playback on a CPU and it isn't powerful enough to decode the H264 stream, things look jerky indeed! Have you tried connecting the device to a HDTV directly and viewing the results? Do you still see the same frame-to-frame motion damage?
