If you absolutely hate the black bars buy fullscreen dvd's. Some DVD's will have both but i've only seen one i rented like that. It has fullscreen on one side and widescreen on others. I am pretty sure though that some DVD's are only widescreen. I think most people seem to prefer that.

What's it liking going through a cloud? Do you get drenched?

I've heard from a lot of people that don't like Itunes. They may not want to use I-tunes so they may have trouble with other programs I don't know. But I have no trouble with I-tunes. Oh yeah and if you're on a network, it can be verrry difficult to set up any torrent client if you're not that computer savvy.

I have a 20 gb black and white 4th generation I-Pod (Old school now). I have about 1500 songs on it. Most of them are Cd's that i ripped. That took a while. I've used Itunes the whole time. Not really any big problems. But I think Anapod is basically drag and drop which is really easy. Have fun.
