On Friday, I was walking out the door on my way to work and I realized that I hadn’t seen this week’s episode of LOST yet. I stopped what I was doing ran over to my computer, bought LOST on Apple iTunes, and waited 15 minutes as it downloaded. I then put it on my iPhone and went about my merry way.
Seems like things just aren’t where they need to be.
I’d get a season pass to LOST on iTunes but I only use laptops and I’m always running out of space on my hard drives.
I want some type of easy media server type of solution that will hold all of my media but when I sync my laptop and my iPhone I can pull media off of the server and put it on my iPhone.
It’d also be nice if there was a way to buy TV shows on the fly from the iPhone so that while I was walking to the subway it could have been downloading. It’d also be nice if my phone could pull TV shows off of my media server. I know with current cellular technology this isn’t possible but it’d be nice.

It sounds like you’d be able to accomplish what you want by combining Apple TV with a Slingbox. It wouldn’t surprise me if a Slingbox player for iPhone were announced within minutes of the iPhone SDK being released…
