From what we've seen so far, iTV more closely resembles Airport Express than an iPod - it won't actually have its own storage, but instead will access the media you have stored on your computers.

So, picking up iTV and taking it to another location, then plugging it in and expecting to be able to access your movies and music, is unlikely to work unless you also bring your computer with you.

There is no way to ensure a fast enough network connection between where you are and where your Mac is, since 99% of the world's Internet access points aren't fast enough to stream high-quality video in real-time. So I'd expect the iTV will be for your local network only.
