That's a really good idea. Treat the laptop similarly to the iPod. The only real issue I can see is, how are you going to push the updates to the laptop? Over the network would be pretty slow (well, I guess compared to my USB 1.0 to my iPod via the Quicksilver, it might be a bit of an improvement :-).

In any case you should submit that to Apple. There is some precendence for this approach--MSft's licensing of Office now acknowledges you may install it on desktop & laptop.

"how are you going to push the updates to the laptop?"

For me, as for many out there, the laptop is the main computer. So updating both locations is no problem. iTunes would know that it has to replicate certain playlists to two locations.
