A big question goes begging as Apple's Steve Jobs and Microsoft's Bill Gates tout the coming meld of video, audio, high-definition DVDs, Windows-driven "smart" cell phones, Macintosh OS X-driven iPhones, home camcorders, PCs, Macs, stacks of DVD movies from Hollywood and other digital media content.
