I have a colleague who has a really long commute to work. She takes public transportation and it takes her 80 minutes to get here in the morning, and of course another 80 minutes to get home. I applaud her commitment to lowering her global footprint, but I would get really bored sitting there for almost 3 hours a day. For those of you who also have long commutes, you should consider getting a Portable Television.
A portable TV can be a great way to pass the time, especially if you work late and want to 
catch TV shows on your way home from work. If you would rather watch movies on your commute, especially on your way to work in the morning, maybe you should get a portable DVD player. You can watch the first half of a movie in the morning, and the second half at night. If you just want to download the latest TV shows from iTunes, you can always get a multimedia player and watch whatever you want whenever you want.
One final tip: If you are the sort of person who prefers listening to music and reading on the bus or train, then you should be aware that there may well be some person listening to their portable TV with the volume up. I suggest a pair of noise canceling headphones for your peace and quiet.
If you want to find lots of shows and movies to watch, check out iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/
