I wish they would either install composite/HDMI (doubtful) or figure out some way to allow use of the USB connector. After several international fights the movie selection gets old and I'd rather just bring my own. I've resorted to watching directly off my iPhone or iPad but it would be nice to take advantage of the bigger built-in screen.
Nobody uses it because they haven't kept it up to date. It should work with the iphone, not just a legacy ipod. But your right, HDMI/composite or something more universal is the way to go.
