The advantage of the M8 screen resolution is allowing you to play higher resolutions (those you download to watch at home) without converting. Scaling up from lower resolutions doesn't necessarily mean greater battery drain, since the most intensive computation is the decoding part, and it should be much lighter on those cases.
Regarding the 1000 write cycles for flash memory, this value is incorrect. The current value is 100,000 cycles for NOR memory, and 1,000,000 cycles for NAND memory (you can check it on wikipedia). This means that even without "wear leveling" it should last you a lifetime, as long as you're the only one writing data onto it. With WinCE, you'll probably have constant writes to a swap file, but in this case "wear leveling" is also used, and you'll still have many years of flash lifetime.

1) Most online platformes indeed offers only iphone optimized versions by now - I speak about the official ones. Might be due to the fact, that they want to make money. I will not use piracy. I will bet, even in the near future most people will prefere the iphone optimized version, as they are good in quality as well as small (Download time).
2) Disagree here - I will bet, they will have supported decoding, but not accelerated upscaling features - not in a phone! Even most up to date graphic card do not support that.
3) Sorry about the NOR life time cycles. 10 000 to 100 000 is much better than the number I learnd in university... (time runs so fast)
