I'm concerned that the Video app is number 3 on this list. This is the app that we've been talking about dropping for some time now, with the idea that users can just use the Gallery app to view videos.
The video app we have now is only good for playing videos that are stored locally on a device. It does not do streaming video and it does not have any kind of connection to an iTunes or google play type service where users can buy or rent videos. And it does not have any provisions for EME or other types of DRM. If the thought is that connected devices aneed medwill a streaming functionality, then that obviously should be a high priority, but the Video app we have currently will be pretty much useless for that and should not be listed as priority #3.
