Does anyone expect Apple to add a remote play feature to the iPhone much like the PSP works with PS3?
For those not familiar with Remote Play, the PSP is able to play anything from the media library available to your PS3 sitting at home as long as the PSP can access the internet (via wifi). With iTunes library sharing implemented via wifi for the AppleTV is it a stretch to think that Apple would extend this capability to the iPhone over the internet much like the PS3 and the PSP? (As an aside, might this be the secret feature rumoured to be on the iPhone?)
In this respect the big three (Microsoft, Sony and Apple) would neck deep in the same game. Both Microsoft and Sony will be offering music and movie/TV download services (similar to iTunes) for the xbox 360 and the PS3 respectively. All three have a portable device with wifi capabilities and widescreens for movie viewing. If apple does provide this capability with the iPhone, Microsoft couldn't be far behind with the Zune.
All mindless speculation on my part and perhaps it's nothing new others haven't already speculated on, but all the infrastructure is conspicuously in place for a huge competitive war.
