Mpeg4 is where the maket has been up till now, but h264 is now starting to be used.
Both the video ipod and the PSP work with H264, and as the quality is better I am hoping that people viewing stuff on these devices quickly come to expect h264 where possible. Id disagree about Sony being ahead. They are ahead on hardware in some respects, but they donthave a nice portal like itunes to provide content, and so far they hav made a stupid unnecesary mess of the fileformat used on the PSP. The file naming structures are primitive, you cant use quicktime mpeg4 or h264 on the PSP without additional modification to the file structure, possibly because Sony wanted people to buy its own software encoder. A drawback with PSP h264 support is that PSPs with firmware 1.5 or lower cant play it off memory sticks. Any quirks in Apples implementation of video on the ipod will only become apparent once people start getting their hands on them.
