@Android Techies: You're not suggesting that you think that this device is capable of playing back someone's existing stash of wmv files, are you? The video files that most people have stashed are far too high of a resolution and bitrate to be played back on a smartphone. HTC Dream is barely able to handle the playback of native resolution files, even at low bitrates! That means that for someone to play a video on this device, they WILL have to re-encode it!
That being the case, no matter how you look at it, you WILL have to instruct your customers in how to properly encode files for this platform and/or provide a windows native executable capable of generating compatible files out of a stash of wmv's. This negates the need to support proprietary turds.
