not really, other than maybe video codecs, but it's the DropBox app itself that would need to support the streaming playback of videos from your storage account, which is fully available via the iPhone SDK.DropBox dropped the ball on that one

You can do basically the same thing by using Transmission's built-in web interface, but you have to use a dynamic IP service in order to keep up with your address. It's nice because it works from the iPhone just by copying and pasting torrent URL's. I think I might like your idea better for use on my desktops though.

idisk syncing between two computers is slow and not as reliable when upgrading. dropbox is also free! Mobile me/ idisk was nice in its day, but dropbox has them beat any day of the week. oh, and I didn't even mention tha it is a great ftp alternative when sending large files. you don't even have to finish uploading, and you can send someone a link! try that with idisk!
